Chocolate Flowers Recipe Recipe For Stuffed

THE PERFECT STUFFED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Kick the tires and light the fires to 350 degrees.
• Cream together your butter and sugar until it's light and fluffy.
• Add in the eggs and vanilla, mixing thoroughly.
• Beat in the flour, baking soda and salt.
• When that is done, fold in the two cups of chocolate chips by hand, and prepare to put them on some parchment paper lined cookie sheets.
• Making sure there is the same amount of dough on either side of your chosen treat, pinch the top and bottom dough together like a dumpling, then smooth and mold into a pretty dome shaped cookie.
• Place on the parchment paper lined cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 15-17 minutes, depending on how thick your cookies are. They will be golden brown on the bottom and top when done. Enjoy!

CHOCOLATE FLOWERS

Steps:

• Melt chocolate coating and chocolate over hot water. Remove and add corn syrup. Allow to sit at room temperature overnight.
• The next day roll the chocolate between sheets of parchment or wax paper as thin as you like and then place in freezer a few seconds. Remove from freezer and cut out chocolate into circles the size of a quarter.
• Using 4 to 8 circles, shape into petals and attach to form blossom. Return to freezer for 3 or 4 minutes. The flowers will now hold their shape. Using 3- or 4-inch sticks as stems, attach the blossoms to the sticks and insert in flowerpots. Refrigerate until serving time.

STUFFED COURGETTE FLOWERS

Steps:

• To make the batter, whisk the egg, flour and bicarb together in a wide bowl. Gradually pour in the iced water, whisking continuously, until you have a smooth batter the consistency of double cream. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl, beat all the filling ingredients together with some seasoning until well mixed. To make the dressing, mix all the ingredients in a third bowl with some seasoning and set aside.
• Gently open up each flower and remove the stamen if there is one. Place spoonfuls of filling inside. Close the flower, twisting the ends of the petals to seal. Heat a deep-fryer to 180C. (If you don't have a deep-fryer, see right.) Working in batches so you don't overcrowd the pan, dip the flowers in the batter and fry for 2 mins, then use a slotted spoon to carefully flip them and fry for another 2 mins until crisp. Drain on kitchen paper and leave in a warm place while you fry the rest. Sprinkle with a little salt and serve 2 flowers on each plate with a circle of dressing around the outside of the plate.
