Fruit tarts

Preparation time: 30+ minutes

Cooking time: 10-20 minutes

Cooling time: 30+ minutes

Makes: 6

Sweet pastry cases filled with gelatin and fresh fruit.




Ingredients:

Pastry:
175g Plain flour
65g Butter
65g Caster sugar
1 Egg
1 Egg yolk for glaze

Filling:
Fresh fruit of your choice. I used kiwi, blueberries and strawberries
Dr Oetker leaf gelatine sheets

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 190℃ and grease mini tart tins. In a large bowl, rub the flour and butter together, add the sugar then the egg and mix until a dough forms. Lightly flour the worksurface and knead until it becomes smooth.

2. Roll the dough about 2-3mm thick. Place greasproof paper inside the pastry and fill with baking beans. Blind bake for 15 minutes then lift the paper and beans out and brush with egg yolk and place back in the oven for another 8 minutes. When done, remove from the oven and carefully trim the edges and place onto a wire rack to cool.

3. Whilst the cases are cooling, start making the gelatine. Place 4 sheets into cold water for 5 minutes then squeeze out any excess water and place them into a saucepan on a low heat, melt slowly. Do not let the mixture boil. When melted take off heat to cool.

4. Whilst cooling, prepare the fruit however you want to and place into the pastry cases. When the gelatine has cooled and thickened a little, pour into each pastry case and place into the fridge to set.

Cooling time: 3 hours to overnight

A very simple and easy sweet treat for everyone to enjoy! With only 3 ingredients you'll make this in no time. You don't need to be an expert in baking!! Why dont you give it a go?






Ingredients:
250g Sweetened condensed milk
250g Icing sugar
200g Dessicated coconut
Pink food colouring (optional)

Method:

1. Using a metal spoon or a white spoon (so it doesn't stick) mix together the condensed milk and icing sugar in a large bowl. Be aware this will become very stiff to mix. If it becomes to hard to mix use your hands to combine it together.

2. Split the mixture into two and mix a drop of pink food colouring into one half. Dust a board with icing sugar and shape each half into a 3cm smooth rectangle. Place on top of another, run your hands over making sure both halfs connect with each other.

3. Transfer to a plate or a board and place in the fridge for 3 hours or overnight to set. When it has set cut into small squares with a sharp knife.

Triple chocolate cookie pops

Preparation time: 30-45 minutes

Cooking time: 10-15 minutes

Triple chocolate cookies with chocolate chips with chocolate fudge icing inside. Perfect for any chocolate lovers!

Ingredients:

Cookies:
125g Butter
100g Light brown sugar
125g Caster sugar
1 Egg
1tsp Vanilla extract
175g Self raising flour
50g Cocoa powder
100g Dark chocolate chips

Decoration:
Chocolate fudge icing (shop bought)
Any toppings/decorations you like, I used: (fudge, marshmallows, sprinkles, smarties)
Wooden lollipop sticks

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and line baking trays with greaseproof paper. In a bowl cream the butter and sugars together until fluffy. Then combine the egg with the vanilla extract. Add the flour and cocoa powder until it forms cookie dough consistency. You can add in your chocolate chips too.

2. I weighed each cookie to exactly 15g to make sure they were the same size. When you have weighed the cookie dough out roll into a ball. Repeat this until all the dough has gone. You only need 6 cookies per tray. Place in the oven for 10-15 minutes until cracked. When cooked remove from oven and transfer over to a wire rack and set aside to cool before decorating.

3. For the decoration get two cookies and place the icing on the base of one cookie but make sure the icing oozes out, also place your lollistick on the cookie. Then place the other cookie on top like a sandwich and add your decoration round the side of the cookie.
