It is necessary
-
- dried apricots (100 g)
- cream 23% (4 tablespoons)
- chocolate (150 g)
- nuts (walnuts or hazelnuts) (100 g)
- wooden toothpicks
- butter (10 g)
Instructions
Step 1
Whole dried apricots in chocolate.
Boil the kettle. Place pitted dried apricots in a colander and rinse well with boiling water. Then place on a paper towel and dry. Make a puncture in the dried apricots with a knife blade and insert the nut inside the dried fruit. Hazelnuts or walnuts can be pre-fried in a dry skillet to improve flavor.
Step 2
Pour 4 tablespoons of 23% cream into a small saucepan, add a lump of butter. Place the saucepan in a water bath. Break the chocolate bar into pieces and place in the cream. Stir with a spoon and melt the chocolate. Reduce heat to very low.
Step 3
Prepare a large, flat dish. Pick up stuffed dried apricots with a toothpick on the edge, dip them in melted chocolate. Put dried apricots in chocolate on a dish so that there is a distance between the candies. It is necessary to dip dried apricots in chocolate quickly, until the melted chocolate thickens.
Step 4
Place the candy dish in the refrigerator until it solidifies. To easily remove the frozen candies from the dish, hold it for a few seconds over hot steam, for example, over the spout of a boiling kettle.
Step 5
Pieces of dried apricots in chocolate.
Cut dried apricots into small pieces. Melt a chocolate bar in a water bath. Use a box of ready-made chocolates or silicone ice cube trays. Pour a teaspoon of melted chocolate into the hollows of the molds. Spread the chocolate over the curly walls with a brush. Add chopped dried apricots to the middle and fill the mold with chocolate to the brim. Put in the refrigerator to freeze.
