Hadleigh Maid Milk Chocolate Coffee Truffle Walnut Whirls, 92 g

Product Information

Instead of baking them in financier moulds, use a mini cupcake tray greased with a little melted butter. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until each one is fully incorporated, then add the vanilla extract.

Beat together the sugar, vanilla and margarine/butter until light and fluffy then add the eggs one at a time. To seal the walnut whips, temper the remaining milk chocolate, using up any chocolate leftover from earlier. I use a walnutty sponge as a base for the marshmallow – of which this recipe makes a little too much.I leave the cakes on the cooling rack then place a piece of greaseproof paper or foil underneath to catch the drips. Alternatively, you can place all the ingredients in a non metallic jug and melt the chocolate in the microwave, stirring between 20 second blasts. Originally the chocolate whips were hand made by workers who extruded chocolate from a piping bag onto a board, which generated the original ridged surface.

When production was moved from the original Beaverhall Road factory in the late 1970's the manufacturing process changed from being hand made to being hollow moulded by machine. The NEW bits in this creation are the candied walnuts and the Crunch Shortbread biscuit used for the base. The original Walnut Whip contained a half-walnut placed inside the cone on the thick chocolate base, rather than on top. These individual chocolate coated coffee cakes are my take on the legendary Walnut Whip treats which date back to 1910. Immediately remove the syrup from the heat and, with the mixer on a slow speed, pour the hot sugar down the sides of the egg whites, whisking all the time.In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, bicarboante of soda, salt and spices, then whisk this mixture through the chopped nuts. Temper the remaining milk chocolate, or use the tempered chocolate left over from earlier (you might need to add some more chocolate), and using a teaspoon spoon it over the ganache to cover. Drain the gelatine, squeezing out any excess water with your hands, then roughly chop into small pieces. An attempt was made to recreate the original surface appearance but with limited success, and it now has no function other than decoration. When the whips switched to being hollow moulded instead, in the late 1970s, the original surface was recreated, although it now had no function other than decoration.

Secondly, there isn't a walnut on the inside sitting on the bottom and thirdly, you have no fear of breaking your teeth when you bite into the new version.Place your mousseline cream into a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle then pipe a swirl over each cake and top off with a walnut. If you are like me, then you will, without shame, bite off the walnut then stick your tongue in and wiggle it about. Step 5 Spread buttercream over the top of the cake then decorate with Walnut Whips and chocolate coffee beans. To cook properly, all the way through, the pastry needs the high temperature that the metal will get to in a hot oven. Scatter over the sliced or crumbled walnuts, pour a shot of hot espresso into each cup, stick a walnut proudly on top, then drizzle over the melted chocolate.
