Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 35 min.

Prepare 1 lb + 15.7 oz Muffin dough.

Stage 2 - 5 min.

Preheat oven to 392°F or 200°C.

Into a bowl put: 6.2 oz dark chocolate cut in small pieces, 1.5 oz butter, 0.7 oz Vanilla sugar and 2.1 oz cream.

Stage 3 - 5 min.

Melt in a bain-marie or microwave oven, stir slowly to get a soft mix: the dark chocolate ganache.

Leave to cool and thicken slightly.

Stage 4 - 5 min.

Put a little muffin dough in the bottom of your moulds, just to cover the bottom.

Stage 5 - 5 min.

Add ½ teaspoon ganache.

Be careful to put not too much ganache, otherwise it might spill out and burn during cooking.

Stage 6 - 5 min.

Add muffin dough to completely cover chocolate.

Stage 7 - 15 min.

Put in the oven and cook for about 15 minutes.

Stage 8

Turn out and allow to cool (but not too much) on a rack.

Muffins are much better served warm.

Remarks

If you prefer milk chocolate, you can make the ganache with this, but only use half the quantity of cream (15 g).

Keeping: 1 or 2 days in a closed metal box.

Passion fruit jellies

Usually to make fruit jellies or (fruit "paste"), it's like jam but you need to cook fruit pulp and sugar much longer. Unfortunately, this long cooking is bad for both vitamins and flavour. In this recipe we use a special jam gelling agent, to reduce cooking time as much as possible .
