Richard tells us he only comes along to catch up on the gossip and to obviously sample our wonderful creations but we suspect that he actually enjoys our get togethers and he does go to the trouble of baking something! So in keeping with our Valentine's theme Richard made some cute little shortbread hearts filled with yummy chocolate. Richard is a high powered executive travelling all over the UK making the most of his generous expense account so I think that the recipes from Richard are going to be recipes that are deliciously tasty but can be made when time is scarce! Its a wonder he does manage with his schedule. Well, we all thoroughly enjoyed them. They were crumbly and light and buttery and the chocolate cream filing was really good. I could have easily split another one in two and licked the cream off! Yum. Next meeting's theme is Indulgence so we can't wait to see what Richard creates. Here's the recipe for Richard's Unbroken Hearts and a wee picture to get the taste buds tantalised!
Biscuit
100g icing sugar
200g butter
300g plain flour
10g vanilla sugar
Chocolate filling
100g chocolate
100g unsalted butter
jam
Mix all ingredients together and cut out using heart shaped cutter then bake in a preheated oven (180 °C) for about 15 minutes.
Melt 100g of chocolate in microwave and blend in 100g unsalted butter for chocolate cream filling.
Then sandwich together with a little strawberry jam and the chocolate cream.
