Following on from my Chocolate Orange Fudge a couple of weeks ago, this is my second review of the new chocolate icing sugar range from Sugar and Crumbs.
And this week – Chocolate Milkshake icing sugar! With a smooth, creamy taste, it’s great for all in one recipes to add a perfect milky chocolate flavor.
For this I used a simple shortbread recipe – that would work just as well with one of the other flavoured icing sugars.
Chocolate Milkshake Shortbread (makes 12)
120g plain flour
50g cornflour
50g chocolate milkshake icing sugar
120g butter
- mix together the dry ingredients together in a large bowl
– cube the butter and very gently rub into form a breadcrumb-like mixture, you can do this in a food processor if preferred
– add water a few drops at a time, and press together into a smooth dough
– refrigerate for at least half an hour, before rolling out and cutting into shapes (I used a cardboard template to cut mine into glass-shaped pieces)
– bake at 180 degrees for 15 minutes
Once cool, I used a thin glaze made from the chocolate milkshake icing sugar, to brush all over the biscuits and give them a sticky, chocolatey shine:
They were simply finished with a piped milkshake ‘froth’ of vanilla buttercream, and of course a piped chocolate straw!
Simple and very tasty – another lovely product from Sugar and Crumbs :-)
And they certainly went down well with Rob – he couldn’t eat them fast enough!
