recipe for caracs

caracs are my all time favorite tartlets.
the mix between chocolate and sugar is just perfect to sweeten your afternoon!



<<< (half a carac)

here's a recipe i've found online, haven't tested it myself (i usually buy them - i'm way too lazy to bake them myself) but it looks quite accurate:

recipe for 8 caracs

what you need:
8 shortpastry-tartlets, 100ml cream, 10g butter, 200g chocolate (dark),
3sp fondant (sugar glaze), green food color

filling:
boil up the cream and the butter in a pan. take the pan from the cooker, add the chocolate and stir, while it melts. when it's molten, pour it into the tartlets, smooth it out and let it set in a cold place.

glaze:
warm up the fondant (available in the bakery/confectionery) and stir it with a few drops of green food color. pour it over the chocolatey-stuff and cool the tartlets, until it's solidified.

when the glaze is solidified, you can put a small drop of chocolate in the middle of a tartlet, let it set and enjoy it!
