Edible Snack Bowl Recipes

EDIBLE SNACK BOWL

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 325°F
• Beat the egg whites with the water with a mixer until you get slightly stiff peaks. Pour in the snack mix and toss until everything is evenly coated.
• Take your ovenproof 3-quart bowl and spray it down heavily with your cooking spray. Add your egg white/snack mix mixture into this bowl. Take a big piece of aluminum foil and wad it up into a bowl shape that about 1/3 of your 3 quart bowl. Spray your foil mold down with cooking spray and push it down into the middle of the snack mix, making a dent or well in the middle. This will make the snack mix take on a bowl form.
• Place into the oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the mix sets. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Remove the foil and allow the snack mix bowl to cool for another 30 minutes. Then you can invert and remove your snack bowl. Allow it to cool completely before adding dip.

EDIBLE SALAD BOWL

Steps:

• Pour oil into deep fryer to depth of 3 inches and heat to 375°.
• Lay 1 egg roll wrapper flat on surface of oil and press with ladle until completely submerged. Without removing ladle, fry wrapper until golden brown and crisp, about 1 to 2 minutes. Carefully remove from oil, slip ladle out and invert "bowl" onto paper towel to drain. Let cool completely.
• Repeat with remaining wrappers.

EDIBLE CHEESE BOWLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat; set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine cheeses with Italian seasoning and divide mixture in half (3/4 cup each). Spread each portion into equal circles of about 7-inches in diameter on the prepared baking sheet. Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 8 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden.
• Remove from the heat and using a spatula, transfer each circle over an inverted soup bowl. Place the parchment paper over before placing another bowl (same size) on top. Gently press down to compress and shape the cheese between the bowls. Let it cool completely before remove both, bowl and parchment paper. Carefully unmold the cheese. Makes 2 bowls.

EDIBLE CHOCOLATE SPRINKLE BOWLS

Steps:

• ADDITIONAL MATERIALS: 2 small bowls, sharp pin.
• Blow up small balloons, about 6 inches in diameter.
• Prepare a baking sheet with a layer of parchment paper on it for the bowls to freeze on.
• Melt chocolate or candy in a microwavable bowl in 30-second increments, stirring after each until the chocolate is smooth.
• Hold each balloon by the knot and dip straight down into the bowl of chocolate, pushing it down until the chocolate has gone up the sides as far as you want it to.
• Lift the balloon straight up, allow the excess chocolate to drip off for a few seconds, without shaking.
• Immediately add sprinkles to the bowls by tossing them onto the chocolate.
• Set the balloons down onto parchment-lined sheet and freeze for about 2 minutes, depending on the kind of chocolate used.
• Once the chocolate has hardened, remove balloons from the freezer and use a pin to pop them.
• Peel the plastic away from the balloon, slowly if it's sticking.
• Fill with ice cream and desired toppings!

SWIRLED EDIBLE BOWLS

Steps:

• Inflate 8 small balloons; gently wash the tops and pat dry. Melt 1 1/2 cups white candy melts and 1/2 cup each red and blue candy melts in separate bowls; let cool slightly. Spread 8 small circles of the white candy onto a parchment-lined baking sheet (these will be the bases of the bowls).
• Spoon the red and blue candy into the remaining white candy, then use a skewer to gently swirl (don't over mix). Dip the top quarter of each balloon in the candy; twist the balloon slightly to create a swirled look, then lift out and let the excess drip off. Place the balloon candy-side down on a circle of white candy melts. Refrigerate until set, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Carefully make a small cut near the knot on each balloon to slowly deflate it, then gently peel the balloon away from the bowl. Refrigerate or freeze the bowls until ready to serve. Fill with ice cream or berries and whipped cream.

EDIBLE PARMESAN CHEESE BOWLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F - use middle rack.
• Grate enough cheese to use 1/3 to 1/2 cup of cheese per bowl - depending on the size you wish to make.
• Cut individual sheets of parchment paper according to desired number of bowls.
• Make an appropriate size circle on each sheet of parchment paper.
• Bake for 5 - 10 minutes depending on size of desired bowl. Watch carefully after the 6 - 7 minute mark - you only want the bowls to bubble, melt and turn slightly golden colored.
• Remove from oven - and carefully using the parchment paper turn the melted cheese over the bottom of the bowl- it conforms as it melts.
• Serve your favorite salad in these delicious edible bowls.
• Pictured is my pear and apple salad - a delicious combination.

EDIBLE CHOCOLATE BOWL

Steps:

• Put the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds, stirring occasionally. Continue heating the chocolate for 10 seconds at a time until completely melted; be careful not to burn the chocolate. Stir until smooth. Let it cool slightly; the heat can pop the balloons.
• Blow up 2 latex balloons to 4 to 6 inches in diameter and tie. Carefully dip each balloon in the chocolate. Rotate and slightly tilt each balloon, allowing the chocolate to go up the sides. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread the chocolate up the sides.
• Cool the balloons in the refrigerator tie-side down in a glass bowl or muffin tin for 5 minutes to set. Carefully snip the ties off with scissors to remove the balloons. The balloons should separate from the chocolate. If the balloons are still stuck to the chocolate, carefully peel off.
• If you'd like the bowls to sit flat for serving, add a dollop of melted chocolate, about 1/2 tablespoon, to the center of the bottom of the bowls and place on a piece of parchment paper. Let set in the refrigerator for a few minutes.
