MINT CHOCOLATE BONBONS

Steps:

• Spray a 24-count mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place an approximately 20-inch-long piece of plastic wrap over the muffin pan, leaving about 4 inches of excess plastic hanging over the ends of the pan. Press the plastic into each cup of the pan, making sure the cups are completely lined with the plastic wrap.
• Using a small ice cream scoop or tablespoon measure, scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons ice cream into each muffin cup so they are filled to the top. Place a chocolate cookie on top of each ice cream-filled muffin cup and gently press down. Freeze until the ice cream hardens, about 3 hours.
• Place a wire rack over a baking sheet. Line a second baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Carefully remove the plastic wrap from the muffin pan to release the bonbons from the muffin cups. Place the bonbons cookie-side down on the baking sheet lined with the wire rack. Slowly pour some of the chocolate shell ice cream sauce over about 1 to 2 bonbons at a time to cover completely. Before the sauce hardens, sprinkle the top of the bonbon with the chopped mint candies. The sauce will harden in about 30 seconds, so continue to coat 1 to 2 bonbons at a time before topping them with the chopped candies, until all 24 are coated and topped.
• Transfer the bonbons from the rack to the parchment-lined baking sheet with an offset spatula or butter knife. If needed, dip the offset spatula in hot water, then use it to remove the bonbons from rack. (The hot spatula will help prevent the chocolate shell from cracking when you remove them.) Store in a resealable container in the freezer until ready to serve, for up to one week.

MALT BALL BOMBE

Steps:

• Chill molds in the freezer. Beat chocolate ice cream in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until soft but still holding its shape, 1 to 2 minutes; work in batches if necessary. Wearing rubber gloves, remove molds one at a time from freezer; fill them with chocolate ice cream, pushing down on ice cream to prevent air pockets. Make the top even and smooth; return filled molds immediately to freezer. Let chocolate ice cream become firm, but not too hard to spoon out, about 1 hour. Remove molds from freezer one at a time; use a 1-ounce ice-cream scoop or round tablespoon to scoop out ice cream from center, leaving 1/2-inch border around edges. Return molds immediately to freezer.
• Soften the vanilla ice cream as above. Add the malted milk powder, and stir just to combine. Remove molds from freezer, and fill each center with malted vanilla ice cream, smoothing top with an offset spatula. Return to freezer, and chill until firm, 1 hour more.
• Working with two molds at a time, remove from freezer; dip in warm water for a few seconds. Use your finger to gently slide ice cream out of molds. Match two halves, flat sides together; wrap in plastic wrap. Gently press halves together; return to freezer. Repeat with remaining molds. Let balls harden, about 1 hour.
• Melt chocolate in the top of a double boiler, or a heatproof bowl, over a pot of barely simmering water. When melted, remove from heat; stir chocolate occasionally to let it cool, 8 to 10 minutes. Place a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet; set aside. Remove 1 malt ball at a time from freezer; dip in melted chocolate. Using a spoon or small offset spatula, very quickly turn to coat ball and lift out of chocolate. Place on wire rack, and let excess chocolate drip off (chocolate will adhere to wire rack if allowed to sit too long). Gently transfer malt-ball bombe to a waxed paper-lined tray; return to freezer before chocolate is completely set. Repeat process with remaining balls. If not serving immediately, wrap each ball in plastic wrap after it is completely frozen. Serve on plates with forks.

HOT CHOCOLATE BOMBS

Steps:

• Put 12 silicone semi sphere moulds (ours were 7cm) flat on a baking tray. Using a pastry brush, brush the chocolate over the inside of the moulds until they're all covered - don't worry about being too precise.
• Tip the moulds upside down and shake the excess chocolate onto some baking parchment, and scrape the top using a palette knife. Place back on the baking tray, and in the fridge for 10 mins to set completely. If your remaining melted chocolate has hardened, give it a quick burst in the microwave to melt.
• Brush the second layer of chocolate in the moulds so they're evenly covered. Place flat on the baking tray again and leave to set in the fridge for 1 hr or overnight. Once set, carefully remove from the mould by peeling back one side and get ready to assemble by getting your hot chocolate and marshmallows.
• Place a frying pan over a high heat for 1 min until hot. Remove from the hob and place one of the chocolate spheres down on it for a second. Fill with 1 tsp of the hot chocolate powder and 1 tbsp of the marshmallows. Briefly place another one of the chocolate spheres down on the warm frying pan, and press both spheres together to form a filled ball. Repeat until you have six filled hot chocolate bombs.
• To decorate, dust them all over with edible gold lustre. Heat up a mug of milk and stir in the hot chocolate bomb to serve.
