Valentine’s Strawberry Creams
Shopping List
- 250g icing sugar
- 120g Carnation condensed milk
- 1 tsp strawberry flavouring
- Food colouring. (I’m using sugarflair gel claret.)
- White chocolate
These heart shaped bites are not only super cute, but super easy too.
With only 5 ingredients and no baking required, they make a perfect Valentines present or just to have as a sweet treat if you’re entertaining! Experimenting with flavours and colours is really fun to do with these.
First, sieve the icing sugar into a bowl.
Pour in the condensed milk and your flavouring.
Mix together to a stiff consistency.
Add in your food colouring and mix until you get an even colour. Then use your hands to knead the mixture into a ball of paste. Pop this paste in the fridge to harden for 10-15 minutes.
Once chilled, place the ball of paste onto an icing sugar dusted side. You’re going to need a rolling pin and spacers.
Roll out the paste between your spacers and start to cut out your hearts or other desired shape!
Pop your heart shapes onto some baking paper and pop in the fridge again to set. Ideally for 2-3 hours but for best results leave overnight.
Once your shapes have set, melt your white chocolate and drizzle over using a spoon.
Once the white chocolate has dried, your shapes are ready to enjoy!
You can pop them in a cellophane bag to make adorable presents for your friends and loved ones.
Give it a try and let me know how you get on either on Facebook or Twitter or Instagram.
