What a gorgeous and sunny Easter holiday we've had so far. I have been tempted to just sit in my garden and not do any work this week. I am going to be honest, unlike Christmas time where I tend to get excited about the food I will be serving to family and friends, Easter tends to go pass almost like any other days in our family. I know, sacrilege! The only thing reminding us that it's not the case is a big Easter egg for my daughters, that I don't fail to buy and a few chocolatey treats that I rustle-up here and there. So here is one for you to try, delicious Easter Petits Fours, with a frangipane base and topped with a lush chocolate ganache and mini Easter eggs.
Bring your double cream to the boil, leave it to cool for 2 to 3 minutes then add your chocolate and stir until completely melted. Put your ganache in the fridge for a good hour and a half. Take it out of the fridge and bring it back to room temperature by stirring it vigorously. Transfer your ganache in a piping bag with a star nozzle.
Decorate your frangiane cups with the ganache, try to make a twirl shape. Add the mini eggs for the finishing touch.
P.S : These will keep for a good week in an airtight container, as the ganache has been pasteurised by boiling the double cream.
If you enjoy baking, I have a range of courses for you to try, check them out here.
