White chocolate snowflakes

Ingredients

• 1 x 200g block best quality white chocolate
• silver cachous

Method

Step 1. Search online for a snowflake pattern that you like, repeat it on a blank document then print out.

Step 2. Melt the white chocolate in a heat-proof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Transfer to a snap-lock or piping bag.

Step 3. Lay a piece of baking paper over the snowflake stencil.

Step 4. Carefully snip a tiny corner from your bag of melted chocolate and pipe snowflakes onto the baking paper using stencils as a guide. Don‰Ûªt worry if the first one or two don‰Ûªt work out perfectly. This is a real case of trial and error; you‰Ûªll soon figure out how much to squeeze the bag, how best to trace the pattern with chocolate – and the best thing is that any ‰Û÷wobbly‰Ûª ones will still taste delicious. Pop a silver cachou in the centre of each snowflake then set aside to set completely.
