Their origins are lost in the mists of time, and in different cultures, chocolate has been associated with rituals and festivities. Today, these delights are a symbol of love and well-being, and the combination of chocolate with cookies and fruits is one of the most appreciated. Our candies, with that splash of rum, add an extra touch of sophistication and a hint of nostalgia. Step by step for a perfect result 1. Preparing the ingredients Make sure you have all the ingredients at hand. It is essential that the chocolate is of good quality to achieve a perfect taste. Choose chocolate with a cocoa percentage that you like - the higher it is, the more intense the flavor will be. 2. Melting the chocolate Start by preparing a pot of water for a bain-marie. Place 3 separate bowls with white, milk, and dark chocolate. Put them over medium heat, stirring constantly to avoid burning. Once the chocolate is completely melted, keep it over low heat to remain fluid. 3. Creating the pattern Using a spoon or a silicone brush, pour some of the white chocolate into the silicone molds, creating a decorative pattern on the inner walls. This will add an attractive aesthetic to your candies. Place the molds in the refrigerator for 10 minutes, allowing the chocolate to set slightly. 4. Greasing the molds After the white chocolate has set, greasing the walls and bottoms of the molds with milk chocolate is the next step. Ensure that every part of the mold is evenly covered, with no uncovered spots. Then, put the molds back in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. 5. Preparing the filling While the chocolate cools, prepare the filling. Crush the Petit Beurre cookies into small pieces, but not to a powder. Mix them with the soft butter, vanilla sugar, and rum essence. This combination will give the filling a crunchy texture and a delicious taste. 6. Adding the cherries Take the molds out of the refrigerator. In each mold, place a cherry (or more, depending on preference) without pits. Instead of the pit, place a cube of white chocolate, which will melt slightly and complement the flavor of the cherries. 7. Filling and covering Fill the molds with the cookie mixture, leaving a little space at the top. Then, pour the melted dark chocolate over to cover the filling. Make sure not to leave any gaps. Place the candies in the refrigerator for an hour to cool completely and set. Useful tips - Choose quality chocolate: The final taste largely depends on the chocolate you choose. Opt for recognized brands. - Filling variations: You can replace the cookies with a mix of nuts or hazelnuts for a different texture. You can also add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for a deeper flavor. - Creative serving: Serve the candies alongside a glass of cold cherry liqueur to enhance the flavors. Offer them on an elegant platter and decorate with fresh mint leaves for an attractive look. Delicious combinations These candies pair perfectly with a fragrant coffee or a fruit tea. You can also try pairing them with vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert. Nutritional benefits Chocolate candies with cookies and cherries are not only delicious but also packed with nutrients. Dark chocolate is known for its antioxidants, while cherries are rich in vitamins and minerals, having anti-inflammatory properties. However, it is best to consume them in moderation, considering the sugar and calorie content. Frequently asked questions - Can I make the candies without alcohol? Of course! You can omit the rum essence and use vanilla essence to keep the good flavor. - How can I store the candies? Keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness. They can be consumed for up to a week. Personal note These candies are a childhood memory for me, when my mother made them for special occasions. The memory of the flavors and the smiles brought by these delights inspired me to continue the tradition. Each bite is a journey through time, and my hope is that you enjoy them just as much! So, I invite you to start cooking! These chocolate candies with cookie cream and cherries are ready to become the stars of your desserts. Enjoy!
Preparation
All three types of chocolate are placed in different bowls over a bain-marie and kept melted. A design is made from white chocolate in a silicone mold before adding the milk chocolate, after which it is left in the fridge for 10 minutes to set. Then, the bottom and walls of the silicone mold are coated with milk chocolate to ensure no areas are left uncovered. It is placed in the fridge for 15 minutes until the filling is made. For the filling, the cookies are crushed and mixed with rum essence, vanilla sugar, and soft butter. In each mold, one (or more) pitted sour cherries from the sour cherry liqueur are placed. Instead of the pit, a small cube of white chocolate is added. The filling is placed and covered with melted dark chocolate. These candies are left in the fridge for an hour to be perfectly chilled for removal from the mold.
