Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles

Oh My Frik!!…..What?!? Remember when you were little and your mom never let you taste the raw cookie dough because it was "apparently" going to make your tummy ache?!?  Well now you are allowed to make it and eat it too and guess what..it’s covered in chocolate, even better!! BOOM!! Perfection rolled into a ball and dipped into chocolate! These truffles are really easy to make, the hardest part is trying to resist eating all the truffles in one go. You have to try these! Do it!

      What you need:

• 2 1/2 cups Flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Bicarbonate of soda
• 250g Butter or margarine, room temperature
• 3/4 cup Sugar
• 3/4 cup packed Brown sugar (Demerara)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup Milk
• 250g  Chocolate chips
• 400g Dark chocolate candy coating/ melting chocolate. (I used Staffords 70% cocoa melting chocolate)

How to make them:

-In a large bowl beat the butter and sugars together with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.

-Add the milk and vanilla.

-Stir in the flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt and mix on a low speed (or by hand) until it is completely incorporated.

-Stir in the chocolate chips.

-Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

-When the dough is firm enough to handle (it may help to lightly flour your hands), form the dough into small balls and arrange on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper.

-Place sheets in freezer and let chill for 30 minutes.

-Melt the chocolate candy coating in a double boiler or in microwave according to package directions.

-Using a dipping tool, fork or toothpick (which ever works for you) dip the dough balls into the melted chocolate.

-Tap the toothpick on the side of pan to remove any excess coating, and return to waxed paper-lined baking sheets.

-Chill until set. Serve and Enjoy! You can store them in an airtight container, in the fridge, for up to 1 week (good luck making them last that long).

This weeks Frikkie Awesome Recipe

It's been a crazy week here at Frikkie Awesome, hence the fact we have been sooooo quiet.. Sorry! But... We are back, have a look at this! BOOM!

Lemon Polenta Cake 

From the first bite, you experience the soft crunchy texture of the polenta and ground almonds, the fresh flavor of lemon, and moist richness. This cake is perfect for a teatime treat or an after dinner dessert and really is not very hard to make. You can serve it with either fresh berries or vanilla ice cream.

 

What you need:

For the cake:

200g soft unsalted butter

200g caster sugar

200g ground almonds

100g fine polenta

1 ½ teaspoon baking powder

3 eggs

Zest of 2 lemons (save the juice for the syrup)

Optional *1 teaspoon vanilla essence

 For the syrup:

Juice of 2 lemons

125g icing sugar

1 x 23cm springform cake tin

Line the base of the cake tin with baking paper and grease the sides.

Preheat the oven to 180’C

Beat the butter and sugar till pale and whip in a big enough bowl to accommodate the whole mixture.

Mix together the almonds, polenta and baking powder.

Beat some of the dry mixture into the butter-sugar mixture, followed by one egg, then alternate between the dry mixture and the eggs, beating all the while.

Beat in the lemon zest.

Scrape the mixture into the prepared cake tin, level with the back of a spoon and bake in the oven for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let it cool on a cooling rack in the cake tin.

To make the syrup boil the lemon juice and the icing sugar in a small saucepan until the sugar has dissolved.

Prick the top of the cake with a cake tester( a skewer would be too destructive, I used a small needle)

Pour the warm syrup over the cake and leave to cool completely before removing it from the tin.

If you would like, dust the cake with a little bit of icing sugar to decorate.

Serve and Enjoy!
