Hadleigh Maid Milk Chocolate Coffee Truffle Walnut Whirls, 92 g

Product Information

Measure all the ingredients into the metal bowl of the mixer and put over a pan of boiling water (do not let the water touch the bottom of the bowl or it will cook the egg whites). To make the complete pastries involves making several separate elements, and then assembling them at the end. Beat together the sugar, vanilla and margarine/butter until light and fluffy then add the eggs one at a time. Temper the milk chocolate and use a clean, grease-free brush or teaspoon to coat and line each of the fluted cups in the mould with the chocolate.

Don’t let the bowl touch the water or the chocolate will burn and don’t let any water into the chocolate or the chocolate will seize. Try and achieve a length of 40-45cm, so that you can make each shell using just a single strip of pastry. Remove the bowl from the heat and add the remaining 75g of chocolate, stirring until the chocolate has melted and cooled to 32°C/90°F .

I use a walnutty sponge as a base for the marshmallow – of which this recipe makes a little too much.

While the cream is infusing, tip out the chilled dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out until 3mm thick.You will need 2 x 6 silicone teacake moulds well greased, a sugar thermometer and a hand held electric whisk. I leave the cakes on the cooling rack then place a piece of greaseproof paper or foil underneath to catch the drips. There have been a number of flavours of Walnut Whip over the years, including coffee and maple flavours, but currently only vanilla is widely available. Chill for at least 30 minutes until set, then carefully upturn the mould onto a board to release the walnut whips. Immediately remove the syrup from the heat and, with the mixer on a slow speed, pour the hot sugar down the sides of the egg whites, whisking all the time.

Originally manufactured by Duncan's of Edinburgh in their Beaverhall Road factory, there have been a number of flavours of Walnut Whip over the years, including coffee and maple flavours, but currently only vanilla is widely available. Temper the remaining milk chocolate, or use the tempered chocolate left over from earlier (you might need to add some more chocolate), and using a teaspoon spoon it over the ganache to cover.
