Chocolate Cornflake Wreaths


  • Author: Leo Bennett
  • Total Time: 90 minutes
  • Yield: 18 servings 1x

Description

Eighteen small chilled rings of chocolate-coated cornflakes with dried fruit and pistachios.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces Dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Neutral oil
  • 4 cups Plain cornflakes
  • 1/3 cup Dried cranberries, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup Shelled pistachios, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Line two trays with parchment. Melt 12 oz chopped dark chocolate gently in a heatproof bowl over barely simmering water, keeping water out; stir in 1 tsp neutral oil until smooth.
  2. Put 4 cups plain cornflakes in a large dry bowl. Pour melted chocolate over them and fold carefully until coated without crushing every flake.
  3. Divide into eighteen provisional mounds on the lined trays. Use two spoons to open a visible central hole in each mound, making a small wreath about three inches across. Scatter 1/3 cup finely chopped dried cranberries and 1/3 cup finely chopped pistachios over the tops while the chocolate is soft.
  4. Chill about sixty minutes until set, then lift from parchment. Check that each ring holds together, has an open center and can be handled without melting in a kitchen trial; exact finished yield is not yet measured.
