Chocolate Melting Moments

I have wanted to make Chocolate Melting Moments for awhile now, and since it was Easter, I thought I would make them in the shape of eggs for a bit of fun. These Chocolate Melting Moments are chocolate flavoured and are filled with a delicious strawberry buttercream.  I also added some pink sugar sprinkles to the side of the eggs to make them look pretty. I really enjoyed making these in the shape of Easter eggs.  The extra time needed to shape them was worth it as they look so cute.

Mini Yo-Yos (Melting Moments)

Image
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. Happy Baking xo Mini Yo-Yos (Melting Moments) Ingredients · ...

One of my signature bakes is your traditional melt-in-the-mouth biscuit known as Yo-Yos or Melting Moments.  Yo-Yos are traditionally made with custard powder whereas Melting Moments are made with cornflour.  I thought I would share some of my favourite recipes with you over time. I'm starting off with Melting Moments but I didn't want to make the traditional ones so I decided to try a new flavour.  Mini Raspberry Melting Moments.  I love to bake goodies in mini or bite-size so you can enjoy it without feeling like it's too much and you can always have seconds or thirds. First time baking this new flavour and it turned out so delicious.  Try out this recipe and you will not be disappointed.
