All baking mums (and dads) will be familiar with the Dr Oetker brand and their range of baking goodies. The most recent products from Dr Oetker make it easier to ice and coat cakes. These products are known as "Easy choc" and "Easy ice".
So the idea of this easy to choc is; once melted, to pour, cover or drizzle over cakes. Or it can be used for dipping - "think strawberries and marshmallows and who needs an expensive chocolate fountain"
Ryan made some cherry scones at school in his cookery class, and it just so happened that our tubs of easy choc had arrived that same morning. We therefore had the rather smart idea to turn the scones into chocolate covered scone cakes with cream. Ryan was very happy to demonstrate how to do it.
So! There is no complex science or instructions behind easy choc, you simply, heat, pour, cool and enjoy and that's it. And it's just delicious yummy chocolate which makes everything taste much better. (Not that I'm knocking Ryan's scones one bit)
There are 3 packets to choose from at the moment being pink, yellow and chocolate. The icing is already made and sealed inside the packets so no mess with the icing sugar. It can go a little firm inside the packet, especially if kept for a while. To soften it again the packet just needs to be placed in a cup of hot water for a short while and kneaded a little.
To use, snip the corner of the packet open and simply squirt over the cakes or biscuits.
Easy choc and Easy ice can be purchased in most supermarkets and many smaller shops. Easy choc pots are approximately £1.79 each and Easy ice just 79p each.
I have often wondered why the baking brand is called Dr Oetker and it turns out that Dr Oetker dud actually exist.
