Ingredients
- 200 g organic cocoa butter
- 70 g high-quality cocoa powder
- 4-5 tablespoons honey (to taste)
- 70 g milk powder
- 2-3 Barni biscuits with milk (or another fluffy cocoa cake)
- 1 package of fondant (preferably from Dr. Oetker)
- A pinch of cinnamon
- A pinch of turmeric (for color)
- Powdered sugar (2-3 tablespoons for rolling the fondant)
Necessary utensils
- Double boiler
- Mixing bowls
- Silicone molds (for muffins)
- Grater (if needed)
- Baking tray
- Knife and spatula
Steps for preparation
1. Melting the cocoa butter: Start by melting the cocoa butter. You can do this by placing the jar in a bowl of hot water or by grating the butter and melting it in a double boiler. Make sure the temperature isn’t too high to preserve the qualities of the butter.
2. Preparing the dark chocolate: Divide the melted cocoa butter into two equal bowls. In the first bowl, add 70 g of cocoa powder and 3 tablespoons of honey. Mix well until you achieve a creamy and smooth paste. Taste the mixture and adjust the amount of honey if you prefer a sweeter flavor.
3. Preparing the white chocolate: In the second bowl, incorporate 70 g of milk powder and 4-5 tablespoons of honey. Mix well, ensuring there are no lumps. This white chocolate will add a pleasant contrast and will be extremely delicious.
4. Pouring the chocolate into molds: Prepare the silicone molds for muffins. First, pour the white chocolate, filling each mold halfway, then add the dark chocolate on top. Place the molds in the fridge for about 1 hour or until the chocolate is completely solidified.
5. Preparing the edible sticks: If you have Barni biscuits or a fluffy cocoa cake, crumble them in a bowl. Add a bit of melted dark chocolate from the coffee houses to bind all the ingredients. Form thin rolls from the mixture and coat them in white fondant. You can use a pinch of turmeric and cinnamon to create a more interesting filter appearance.
6. Decorating the coffee houses: Remove the coffee houses from the molds. Now, cover each house in fondant, shaping the handle on top. You can add details, such as two rolls of fondant, one white and one with cinnamon, to simulate a coffee with cream.
7. Assembly: Serve the edible sticks alongside the coffee houses. They are perfect for gifting as a sweet treat or for impressing at a party.
