Before you start

Ingredients

  • 400 g of wheat flour
  • 400 g of margarine
  • 500 g of milk chocolate
  • 5 eggs
  • 500 g of thick chestnut cream
  • 400 ml of water
  • Melt the margarine and add the water, using high heat.
  • Once the water has come to a boil, reduce the heat and add the flour and eggs.
  • Thoroughly mix until the dough reaches the desired consistency – the dough should resemble mashed potatoes.
  • Place the still-warm dough in a large-sized bag, and pour it out onto a baking sheet in small balls. Note: It is not necessary to grease with butter; simply sprinkle with wheat flour.
  • Bake in the oven at a temperature of 180 to 200 degrees.
  • After cooking, allow to cool.
  • Fill the pastry bag and, using a small nozzle, inject the buttercream into the cake.
  • Melt the chocolate using a double boiler, and then dip the small cakes partially into the melted chocolate. Let them dry.
  • Tip: For the recipe to work, the mascarpone cream should be very thick; otherwise, it risks soaking into the dough.
