Ingredients

Serves 6

  • 1 quantity Choux Pastry

  • 300ml/1/2 pint double cream

  • 175/6 oz plain dark chocolate

  • 50g/2 oz butter

  • 50g/2 oz white chocolate, melted

Method:

  1. Make the choux pastry, then put teaspoonfuls of the mixture on to wetted baking sheets.

  2. Bake in a preheated oven, 200°C (400°F), Gas Mark 6, for 15 minutes or until puffy and golden.

  3. Using a small knife, make a slit in the side of each bun and return to the oven for 2 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

  4. Lightly whip the cream until thick, but not too stiff. Spoon into a piping bag fitted with a small plain nozzle and use to fill the buns.

  5. Melt the plain chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over gently simmering water. Dip the tops of the buns in the chocolate mixture.

  6. Spoon the white chocolate into a paper piping bag and pipe fine lines across the buns. Allow the chocolate to set before serving.
