Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

-
Chocolate and strawberries are such a delicious combination.  I've purchased 16 punnets of strawberries in the last two weeks to support the local farmers.

The strawberries have all been eaten fresh or dipped in chocolate.  I have dipped many punnets of strawberries to eat and as gifts for friends.  They make awesome gifts and take no time to make.

Chocolate Dipped Strawberries are so easy and fun to make.  All you need is to melt your favourite chocolate and cover those strawberries. To make them pretty, just drizzle more chocolate over them and add sprinkles.

This week I dipped some strawberries in white chocolate and added sprinkles and they look so pretty and tasted delicious.

Hope you get a chance to buy some strawberries and dip away.

Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

Ingredients

· Dark chocolate, milk chocolate or white chocolate
· Sprinkles

Instructions

1. Rinse and pat dry the strawberries. Make sure there are no water droplets on them.

2. Place some baking paper or wax paper onto two baking trays.

3. Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (make sure the bowl does not touch the water). Stir until completely melted. Or alternatively you can melt the chocolate in the microwave at 30 second intervals until the chocolate is completely melted.

4. Dip one strawberry at a time into the melted chocolate and allow the excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Place on baking paper to dry.

5. Melt extra chocolate and place into a snaplock bag and cut a very tiny section off the edge. Pipe the chocolate over the chocolate dipped strawberries and add sprinkles.

*Please note – the chocolate dries quickly so it’s best to pipe only one or two and add sprinkles before continuing to pipe more.

Tips

· Best to eat the chocolate covered strawberries on the same day they are made to avoid the strawberries sweating or leaking. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 10 hours, in a cool, dry place and uncovered on baking paper.

· Strawberries can be served at room temperature or chilled straight from the fridge.

Coffee Kisses

I made these coffee biscuits awhile ago and thought I would make them again and share this recipe with you.  I'm sure there are many coffee lovers out there. These coffee kisses smell amazing when they are baking in the oven.  The aroma of the coffee biscuits coming out of the oven smells like an Italian cafe. I must say these coffee biscuits are more of an grown up biscuits.  They taste like a shortbread with a hint of coffee and they smell just like coffee. I would recommend making these biscuits when the weather is a bit warmer as the mixture can be a bit firm and hard to pipe out of the piping bag on a cold day. Happy Baking xo Coffee Kisses Ingredients · 250 grams butter, softened · ⅔ cups icing sugar · 2 teaspoons instant coffee · 2 cups plain flour Filling · 45 grams dark chocolate, melted · Icing sugar Instructions 1.

Viennese Biscuits

Image
These Viennese biscuits are often found at bakeries and cafes.  I have often made them by just piping them into round biscuits.  This time I thought I would make the traditional looking Viennese finger biscuits with the ends dipped in chocolate. These buttery melt-in-your-mouth biscuits are so delicious.  They taste even better when the ends of the biscuits are dipped in chocolate and sprinkles added.  You can also sandwich two biscuits together with jam and buttercream. I recommend that you make these biscuits in warmer weather or make sure the butter is at room temperature and quite soft.  This helps to make the mixture easier to pipe onto the baking trays. Happy Baking xo Viennese Biscuits Ingredients · 220 grams butter · ½ cup icing sugar · 1 tablespoon cornflour · 1 cup plain flour · ½ cup self-raising flour Decorations · Sprinkles · Dark chocolate Instructions 1. Preheat oven to 180°C. 2.

Mini Yo-Yos (Melting Moments)

I thought I would share with you all, one of my signature bakes.  The traditional melt-in-the-mouth biscuit known as Yo-Yos.  Yo-Yos are made with custard powder and often people refer to them as Melting Moments.  However, the only difference is that melting moments are made with cornflour instead of custard powder. These biscuits are loved by all as they melt-in-your mouth and they taste so good with the lemony buttercream in the centre.  I love this recipe as it's easy and you can fill the biscuits with any filling you like or you can just eat the biscuits unfilled. If you haven't noticed I like to bake products in mini form or bite size.  I find that everyone loves mini desserts or treats.  You can make 16 full sized Yo-Yos or 32 mini ones. Hope you bake this classic traditional biscuits soon as everyone will love them.  This is a favourite amongst my family and friends.
