Hi Everyone,
Wow what a weekend we’ve had. The weather in the UK has been phenomenal and with great weather comes loads of good food and drink. On Saturday, Charles and I celebrated Cinco de Mayo and while we have no Mexican heritage we love Mexican food and it was such a great opportunity to try out some more Chrissy recipes from the Cravings cookbook: Pepper’s hot green pepper sauce, Cheesy guacamole, Roasted jalapeno and chorizo queso and Pan charred fish tacos. Such great food and we ate far too much!
So, after such a heavy foodie weekend, it seems only right to follow it up with these gooey Flourless Chocolate Biscuits. They’re gluten free, and oozy like a brownie biscuits and what’s better, they only has 6 ingredients! SO SIMPLE!!
Flourless Chocolate Biscuits Makes 6 giant biscuits or 12 small ones
Ingredients
180g Icing sugar, sifted
35g Cocoa powder, sifted
Pinch salt
3tbsp Vegetable oil
1tsp Vanilla extract
100g Dark chocolate, roughly chopped
Method
- Pre-heat oven to 180°C (360°F)
- Sift together the icing sugar, cocoa powder and salt, then stirring together until combined.
- Add the vanilla extract and oil to the icing sugar mixture and stir until fully incorporated. You should have a glossy mixture.
- Fold in the dark chocolate.
- Scoop the mixture into biscuit shaped dollops on a greaseproof paper lined baking sheet, leaving enough space between each biscuit as they will spread.
- Bake for 20 minutes for large biscuits or 12-14 minutes for smaller biscuits. They are ready when the tops and glossy and have started to crack.
- Allow to cool completely before removing from the baking sheet.
These are fool proof, anyone can make them and they taste incredible. I also added a sprinkle of salt to the tops of the biscuits, this really enhances the chocolate flavour. Let me know if you want me to add calorie information to my recipes going forward, just something I’ve been toying with.
Stay tuned tomorrow, I have a delicious vegan biscuit recipe to share!
