White chocolate snowflakes

Ingredients

1 x 200g block best quality white chocolate
silver cachous

Method

Step 1. Search online for a snowflake pattern that you like, repeat it on a blank document then print out.

Step 2. Melt the white chocolate in a heat-proof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Transfer to a snap-lock or piping bag.

Step 3. Lay a piece of baking paper over the snowflake stencil.

Step 4. Carefully snip a tiny corner from your bag of melted chocolate and pipe snowflakes onto the baking paper using stencils as a guide. DonÛªt worry if the first one or two donÛªt work out perfectly. This is a real case of trial and error; youÛªll soon figure out how much to squeeze the bag, how best to trace the pattern with chocolate – and the best thing is that any Û÷wobblyÛª ones will still taste delicious. Pop a silver cachou in the centre of each snowflake then set aside to set completely.

Note

Swap white chocolate for milk chocolate or dark chocolate. Or use all three and marble together – fancy!
You could also sprinkle these with edible glitter.
