Chocolate yoghurt tart pods

Who hasn’t eaten Mars Pods? What about butternut snap cookie tartlets with a beautiful creamy chocolate filling? My sister-in-law makes white chocolate butternut snap cookie tartlets every Easter and they are amazing. Everyone goes crazy over them.

This recipe combines the two. A soft sweet cookie with creamy chocolate filling packed with a surprise, honeycomb.

I made these for a work fundraiser – bring a plate to raise money for the Nepal earthquake. The earthquake in Nepal was a horrible event so I was really looking forward to helping in some tiny tiny way.

This recipe is easy and perfect for any morning or afternoon tea and let me tell you…they flew off the plate!
 

Ingredients:
Cookie base:
  • 120g butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup S/R flour
  • ¾ cup plain flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
Chocolate filling:
  • 150g dark chocolate melts
  • 50g butter, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yoghurt
  • 1 violet crumble, chopped
  • ½ boost bar, chopped
Method:
  • Preheat oven to 170C fan forced
  • Melt the butter
  • Combine the brown and white sugar with the butter – mix well
  • Mix in the eggs
  • Sift together the flours and baking powders
  • Add flour to wet mixture and combine until it forms a cookie dough
  • Grease shallow cupcake tins
  • Put biscuit in each push into sides to make a shallow shell
  • Cook for 10minutes – it will firm up once cooled
  • Once cookies are cooled, prepare the chocolate filling
  • For the chocolate filling, melt the chocolate in a metal bowl over hot water – make sure the metal bowl doesn’t touch the water
  • Once melted add the butter and yoghurt – mix well
  • Add in the violet crumble and boost bars
  • Fill each cookie cup with chocolate filling
This recipe will make approximately 24 pods and…there will be leftover cookie dough so chuck in some chocolate, dried fruit and/or nuts and bake. It makes a beautiful cookie. Alternatively eat it raw – cookie dough and ice-cream is incredible of course!


You can add any chocolate you want to this. Anything you have in the house chuck it in! The Boost does melt to more of a caramel, which would probably be the same for chocolate bars like Mars and Snickers.

I have to say, these are just yum. Nuts would be a great addition to add some crunch however not knowing about people’s allergies, I played it safe.

Would love your feedback on this one please – it was an experiment.

Farewell fun yoghurt fact… “Yoghurt with added fruit jam was patented in 1933 by the Radlická Mlékárna dairy in Prague.”

Challenge 3 - Milo and Yoghurt - I think it's my best!

Image
My workmate elegantly put up on my blog "Milo and Yoghurt...go!" This one I had to say excited me. Everytime I eat milo I feel like a kid again. That's what I love about food, it's ability to take you back to memorable moments in your life. Even a piece of kraft single cheese on a piece of toast reminds me of all the amazing times I had at my grandma's growing up. Time at grandma's house with my cousins was always my favourite part of the school holidays. So yes, I was excited and I felt like a kid again. Growing up I used to love eating chocolate mousse, it was just beautiful. So a milo and yoghurt mousse came straight to mind. Smooth, rich and light. However milo itself isn't overly sweet and the yoghurt will make the mousse rather tart. So I thought it needed something to even out the flavour. Like lemon compliments tequila, strawberries compliment chocolate. So I thought a sweet strawberry compote would work well. In terms of visuals, I needed somethin...

Thai meatballs

Image
I think meatballs are one of the most diverse dishes of all time - cooked in tomato sauce in Italy and Greece, wrapped in flatbread in Turkey, served in hot soup in Vietnam or covered in gravy in Sweden. When done well, they are moist, delicious and a great cheap eat. When done badly they are dry and tasteless.  Lending itself to so many different creations, I like to experiment with the humble meatball. For this dish you can use traditional coconut milk however for a tangy and creamy twist, you can use yoghurt. Go with your gut.  Ingredients: 500g pork or beef 1/2inch of ginger, grated 2 cloves of garlic, crushed 1 tablespoons lime juice 1 tablespoon of crushed lemongrass 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons of coriander 1 red chili (small or ½ big chili – remove seeds if you don’t like spice) ½ teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon flour 1 tablespoons of thai paste (you can use green curry paste if you like or follow the below recipe) 3/4 cup of chicken stock ½ ...

Chocolate peanut butter balls

Image
We were going to visit family for morning tea when I had a moment of panic and realised I had nothing to take. In these situations no bake bites are my go to. They are easy, simple and need very few ingredients. Whatever is in the pantry, you can put in a mixing ball with some melted butter and chocolate and you have a quick sweet treat. That day, I was wanting to feel like a kid again so looked for ingredients that would conjure up fond childhood memories. That ingredient for me is peanut butter. Peanut butter with honey on toast was my weekend indulgence. I loved the sweet and salty combination.  So with almond biscuits in the pantry and an abundance of peanut butter at my disposal I got to work. This week’s blog recipe is chocolate peanut butter balls. What you make with things from the pantry.
