We decided to use Edd Kimber's recipe from his book The Boy who Bakes as everything I've made from it has been delicious and never failed. Gracie can be a little fussy when it comes to fruit and nuts so we opted for the mint chocolate ones and we loved the colour - bright green !
Gracie marked out the circles on the baking sheet and then we started mixing and making.
I'm going to be honest with you now - this was our first attempt and although it wasn't a disaster they weren't perfect - my oven is very fast and even though it was on the recommended fan setting - they coloured slightly.
Gracie wasn't happy and neither was I - so we started again - 2nd time lucky ????
Reduced the oven to 130 oC and off we went again
Piped out and left to form a crust for 30 minutes
Fresh out of the oven
And filled with mint chocolate ganache
And close up - we were very pleased with ourselves !!
Can see why the are so expensive now - they took forever - but well worth it !!
Some girlfriends came round for coffee the following morning and loved them - crispy on the outside and gooey in the middle - Well done Gracie !!!
These look impressive and I love the colour too.
