This chocolate “dirt” is an ideal finishing touch for dusting cakes and cupcakes. Made from a single, simple ingredient—chocolate chips—it’s quick and effortless to prepare.
I recently used this chocolate dust to finish the whipped cream frosting on Banana Cream Pie Cupcakes, and it added a lovely texture and rich chocolate flavor.
