Preparation

Grease moulds and dust with plain flour.

Melt butter in the microwave.

Ingredients

“This recipe will make 22 or 12”

Sugar 396 / 198

Melted white chocolate 2lb / 1lb

Melted butter 1.4lb / 0.7lb

Plain flour 1lb / 0.5lb

Eggs 16 / 8

Egg Yolks 16 / 8

Method

If you have a mixer then you can just add everything together and mix it well. Otherwise you will have to cream the eggs and sugar, kneed the flour and butter together then add the eggs and sugar to the flour mix well then fold the chocolate in.

Note: “If the mix seems a little too stiff to fill the moulds with a jug it might be easier and a lot tidier to use a piping bag.”

Half fill the moulds then put them in the freezer for about 5/10 minutes

When hardened, place a disk from the frozen carrot puree in the middle and cover the disk with the rest of the fondant mix. Store in the fridge until needed and then cook in for 15 minutes in a pre head oven at 180°C.
