Chocolate Creams

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no oven temperature. The 200°C (400°F) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

  2. Place the cooking chocolate on a plate and heat in the oven until soft.

  3. Prepare the cream as you would for bon-bons.

  4. Roll the cream into small balls and let them dry for a few moments.

  5. Roll the dried balls in the melted chocolate.

  6. Place the chocolate-covered balls on buttered paper.

  7. Use two forks for convenience while rolling in chocolate.

Recipe from a historical cookbook (Internet Archive).

Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
