Chocolate and strawberry foam muffins

Dessert - Chocolate and strawberry foam muffins by Smaranda B. - Recipia

Chocolate and strawberry foam muffins only turn out fluffy if the egg whites are beaten well and the flour goes in at the end, folded in with a spoon. Each muffin hides a piece of dark chocolate that melts in the oven, and on top there are golden hazelnuts and a strawberry foam cooked with sugar. I leave the foam fairly thick so it sits on the muffin and doesn't run. Preparation: 20 minutes. Cooking: 40 minutes. Rest: 10 minutes. Total time: 70 minutes. Servings: 12. About 250 kcal and 4 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

For the batter

  • 5 eggs
  • 4 tablespoons sugar
  • 5 tablespoons flour
  • 150 ml oil
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 packet baking powder

For the filling

  • 1 bar dark chocolate (100 g)

For decoration

  • 50 g unsalted hazelnuts (chopped)
  • 200 g strawberries
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 100 ml water

Preparation

1. Put 200 g chopped strawberries, 3 tablespoons sugar and 100 ml water in a saucepan and simmer on low heat for 15 minutes, until the liquid reduces. 2. Let the mixture cool, then blend it and keep the foam in the fridge until you use it. 3. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until foamy, then gradually add the 4 tablespoons sugar. 4. Add the yolks and the oil, mixing with the mixer. 5. Add the flour and baking powder, then fold with a spoon, from bottom to top, until you get a soft, fluffy and airy batter. 6. Pour the batter into a muffin tin lined with paper cases or into a silicone mold set on a tray, so you can handle it easily. 7. Push a piece of dark chocolate, cut into small pieces, into each muffin. 8. Sprinkle the unsalted hazelnuts, chopped with a knife, over the muffins. 9. Put the tray in the oven heated to 180 degrees and bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden. 10. Take the muffins out and let them cool for 10 minutes. 11. Spoon a tablespoon of strawberry foam over each muffin.

Notes

The muffins keep for up to 3 days in the fridge, in a closed container. I serve them with a glass of cold milk. If the tops brown too quickly, cover the tray with aluminium foil. In the flower-shaped silicone mold you get fewer muffins, but bigger ones. If the foam turns out too watery, simmer it a little longer until it thickens. For milk chocolate use the same amount, 100 g. They contain gluten, eggs, hazelnuts and milk, if you choose milk chocolate.

Frequently asked questions

Can the foam be made with frozen strawberries?

Yes, thawed and well drained, the same amount of 200 g, cooked the same way for 15 minutes.

What if the chocolate runs out too much?

Pieces of chocolate of about 8 g, that is a sixth of the bar divided by 12, stay better in the batter.

How much foam do I put on each muffin?

One tablespoon of foam is enough for each one, so about 12 tablespoons in total.
