    Flaked almonds for topping
    For the Buttercream:

    140 grams butter at room temperature (2/3 cup)
    Prepared pudding from the cream filling (at room temperature)

    Directions:

    Prepare the Cream:
    Combine Ingredients: In a saucepan, whisk together 2 eggs, 150 grams sugar, vanilla sugar, and 70 grams cornstarch.
    Add Milk: Gradually stir in 500 ml milk, mixing until smooth.
    Cook the Cream: Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency.
    Cool the Cream: Cover the cream with cling film, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Let it cool completely.
    Prepare the Choux Pastry:
    Heat Ingredients: In a saucepan, combine 100 ml water, 100 ml milk, 80 grams butter, a pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon sugar. Heat until the butter is fully melted.
    Add Flour: Stir in 120 grams flour all at once and cook the batter for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly until it forms a smooth dough that pulls away from the sides of the pan.
    Cool Slightly: Remove from heat and let the dough cool for about 4 minutes.Add Eggs: Gradually add 3-4 eggs to the dough, one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy. The dough should slowly pull away from the spoon when lifted.
    Form and Bake: Preheat your oven to 180°C (355°F). On a baking sheet, pipe or spoon the dough into a circle with a diameter of 18 cm (7 inches). Brush with the remaining egg and sprinkle with flaked almonds. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely.

    Mix Buttercream: Gradually add the room temperature pudding to the 140 grams of room temperature butter, mixing until smooth and creamy.
    Assemble the Cake:

  • Chocolate Dipped Nut and Seed Cookies Recipe

    Chocolate Dipped Nut and Seed Cookies Recipe

    Chocolate Dipped Nut and Seed Cookies Recipe

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients

    • 100 g (3.5 oz) walnuts, finely chopped
    • 60 g (2.1 oz) toasted hazelnuts, finely chopped
    • 25 g (0.9 oz) dried cranberries, soaked and drained
    • 25 g (0.9 oz) raisins, soaked and drained
    • 30 g (1 oz) cashews, finely chopped
    • 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
    • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
    • 1 tsp anise seeds
    • 3 tbsp honey
    • 120 g (4.2 oz) sugar-free chocolate, melted
    • 30 g (1 oz) almonds, toasted and finely chopped

    Instructions

    1. Prepare the Nuts and Seeds

    Start by finely chopping 100 g of walnuts and 60 g of toasted hazelnuts. The fine chop allows these nuts to mix well into the dough, providing a consistent texture throughout the cookies. Next, toast 30 g of almonds in a non-stick pan over high heat for about 1 minute. This enhances their flavor, making them more aromatic and crunchy.

    2. Soak the Dried Fruits

    While the nuts are being prepared, soak 25 g of dried cranberries and 25 g of raisins in separate bowls filled with cold water. Soaking helps to rehydrate the fruits slightly, making them juicier and also helps to remove any traces of preservatives. Drain the fruits well after soaking and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

    3. Mix the Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped walnuts, hazelnuts, 30 g of chopped cashews, toasted almonds, 2 tablespoons of pumpkin seeds, 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds, and 1 teaspoon of anise seeds. Mix these ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.

    See also  Mozzarella Onion Rings

    Next, add the drained cranberries and raisins to the bowl, followed by 3 tablespoons of honey. The honey acts as a natural sweetener and binder, helping to hold the mixture together. Mix everything well until you have a cohesive mixture that can be easily shaped into cookies.

    4. Shape and Bake the Cookies

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Use a pastry cutter to shape the cookies, ensuring each cookie has the same amount of the mixture for even baking. Alternatively, you can shape the cookies by hand, pressing the mixture firmly to form compact discs.

    Place the shaped cookies on the prepared baking tray, leaving a little space between each one. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until they are golden brown. The baking process will enhance the flavors of the nuts and seeds, while also giving the cookies a delightful crunch.

    5. Dip in Chocolate

    While the cookies are baking, melt 120 g of sugar-free chocolate using a bain-marie (double boiler). Once the chocolate is smooth and fully melted, remove it from the heat.

    After the cookies have baked and cooled slightly, dip half of each cookie into the melted chocolate. The contrast between the crunchy, nutty cookie and the smooth, rich chocolate creates a delicious balance of textures and flavors.

    6. Set and Serve

    Place the chocolate-dipped cookies on a sheet of parchment paper and let them rest in the fridge for about 15 minutes. This allows the chocolate to set, giving the cookies a glossy, professional finish.

    Once the chocolate has hardened, your Chocolate Dipped Nut and Seed  Cookies are ready to be enjoyed. These cookies make for a perfect breakfast treat or a healthy snack any time of the day.
