Supplies
Peanut Butter Hearts
- 300g white chocolate
- pink gel food colour
Filling
- 65g smooth peanut butter
- 15g unsalted butter, room temp
- 30g icing sugar, sifted
- raspberry jam, to taste
- sprinkles and edible dried flowers, to decorate
Steps
Peanut Butter Hearts
- Melt 150g of the white chocolate in the microwave. Add as much or as little pink gel food colouring, to reach your desired colour, and mix until evenly combined.
- Decorate the bottom of your 12-heart silicone mould with the sprinkles and dried flowers until they cover the base. This will form the top when we push them out later.
- Pour in the melted chocolate filling ⅓ of the mould. Place in the fridge until set.
Filling
- Beat together the peanut butter, butter and icing sugar until smooth and well mixed. Spoon into a piping bag and snip a hole at the tip.
- Pipe a heart with the peanut butter filling into the centre of the set and cooled hearts making sure to leave a small border around the edge for the top chocolate layer to settle.
- Fill the centre of the peanut butter heart with raspberry jam, use a piping bag for ease. Place the hearts in the fridge to firm up.
- Melt the remaining white chocolate and create a pink marble effect by mixing in the leftover melted pink chocolate.
- Pour this into your moulds filling all the way to the top. Take a long palette knife and scrape it across the moulds removing any overflowing chocolate. Place in the fridge to fully set before popping the chocolate out of their moulds. Enjoy :D
