Soft chocolate candies - The perfect treat for sweet lovers Total time: 1 hour Preparation time: 20 minutes Baking time: 30 minutes Number of servings: 20 candies Welcome to the world of delectable soft chocolate candies! This simple and quick recipe will transform you into the dessert hero, offering you a delicious chocolate variation that everyone will love. Here’s how to make these delights step by step. Necessary ingredients: - 100 g butter (at room temperature for easy incorporation) - 140 g brown sugar (this will add a caramelized flavor) - 1 egg (at room temperature to help emulsify) - 100 g cream (for a creamy texture) - 150 g dark or milk chocolate, melted (choose quality chocolate for an intense taste) - 200 g flour - 50 g cocoa powder (make sure it's good quality for a rich flavor) - 1 teaspoon baking powder - 1 teaspoon baking soda - 4 heaping tablespoons of Mascarpone (for extra creaminess) - Melted chocolate, for glazing (to give a decadent final touch) Step-by-step instructions: 1. Preparing the oven: Start by preheating the oven to 190°C. This will ensure even baking. Line a baking tray with parchment paper so that the cake doesn’t stick and is easy to remove after baking. 2. Mixing dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed. 3. Beating butter and sugar: In another bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the soft butter together with the brown sugar. This step is crucial as the incorporated air will help achieve a slightly fluffy texture. 4. Adding wet ingredients: Once the butter and sugar mixture is creamy, add the egg, cream, and melted chocolate. Continue mixing until everything is well integrated. 5. Incorporating dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture. Use a spatula to fold in the ingredients, being careful not to overmix. You should get a smooth dough, but do not overmix. 6. Baking the cake: Pour the dough into the prepared tray and level the surface with a spatula. Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool completely in the tray. 7. Forming the candies: Once the cake has cooled, crumble it into a large bowl. Add 4 heaping tablespoons of Mascarpone and mix well until you get a homogeneous mixture. Use your hands to form balls from the resulting mixture. 8. Glazing the candies: Melt the chocolate for glazing. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is evenly covered. Place the candies on a tray lined with parchment paper and let them set in the fridge. Serving suggestions and variations: These soft chocolate candies are delicious served plain, but you can add a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the glaze for a savory contrast. You can also try adding ingredients like chopped nuts or coconut flakes into the cake mixture for added texture. These candies are perfect for gifting or enjoying at a party. With these simple and clear instructions, you will be able to create a quick and impressive dessert, ideal for all occasions. Enjoy every bite of these soft chocolate candies!
