Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup shelled pistachios, chopped
- 1 baked cake of your choice (e.g., sponge, cheesecake, etc.)
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips and vegetable oil in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until completely melted.
- Let the chocolate mixture cool slightly before pouring it over the top of your baked cake.
- Use a spoon to gently push the chocolate over the edges of the cake to create a dramatic drip effect.
- Sprinkle the chopped pistachios over the top of the cake before the chocolate sets.
- Allow the chocolate to set before serving.
Notes
- Choose a sturdy cake that will hold the chocolate drips well.
- You can use white or milk chocolate chips for a different flavor profile.
- For a more pronounced drip effect, make sure the chocolate is slightly warm but not too hot.
