1

Prepare a plastic chocolate mold that comes in two pieces, 5 inches in size.

2

Melt chopped dark chocolate and milk chocolate in the microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then melt for an additional 15 seconds until smooth.

3

Pour melted chocolate into one half of the mold, filling it up to one-fourth.

4

Close the mold and rotate it to evenly coat the sides with chocolate.

5

Place the mold in the refrigerator to set for 45 minutes to 1 hour, shaking it every 2 minutes to ensure even coating.

6

Prepare caramel sauce (previously made and stored in the fridge) and warm it up before pouring.

7

Once the chocolate shell is set, remove one side of the mold carefully, then remove the other half to reveal the chocolate shell.

8

Melt the bottom of the chocolate ball on a hot plate to create an opening.

9

Fill the opening with a brownie and a scoop of vanilla ice cream, topped with mixed nuts and berries.

10

Pour hot caramel sauce over the chocolate ball to melt it and reveal the contents.
