Chocolate Mendiants are pretty little chocolate discs with edible toppings, often nuts and dried fruits. We make our Mendiants with Flavour Shots for an even yummier chocolate treat!
Take a look at our full range of Flavour Shots and Melt & Pour choccy!
Suggested Combinations
These flavour combinations are some of my favourites. I have listed these for inspiration, but we would love to hear about any other combinations you have come up with for your Chocolate Mendiants!
- Milk chocolate, Banana split and Salted Caramel flavour shots mixed, topped with banana chips, walnuts and caramel chunks.
- White chocolate, Pistachio or Pistachio and raspberry flavour shot, topped with crushed pistachios and freeze dried raspberries.
- Dark chocolate with Coconut flavour shot, topped with desiccated coconut and glacé cherries.
- Dark chocolate with gingerbread flavour shot, topped with crystallised ginger.
Ingredients
- 500g Melt and Pour of your choice
- 15g Flavour Shot! of choice
- Selection of toppings (you can use sprinkles to make giant Jazzies)
Method
- Place your chocolate into a microwave safe bowl and melt completely in short bursts in the microwave. Make sure to stir well between each increment of heat to avoid hot spots/burning.
- Sieve in 15g of Flavour Shot and mix well.
- Pour a small amount of chocolate into each cavity of a metal cupcake tin. You want to pour enough for about a 4-5mm thickness.
- Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle on your toppings.
- Refrigerate for roughly 30 minutes.
- To remove from the tin, place upside down and add a little pressure to the back of each cavity. they should fall out easily if they have chilled long enough!
- Enjoy your Chocolate Mendiants or stack and wrap in cellophane to give as a gift!
