Title: Longtail Mouse (with Photo)
Post by: farfallina on October 31, 2011, 12:01:50 am

Longtail Mouse


Ingredients:

60g sugar
750g Oreo Biscuits (650 + 100)
370g Philadelphia cheese (320 + 50)
1 egg white
Chocolate Chips (For the eyes)
Kit Kats
Red food coloring

Preparation:

    Powderize suar for 20 seconds on Speed 10 and set aside

    Process biscuits until fine crumbs for 10 seconds on Speed 8. Continue 5 seconds more if needed
    Get 100g of biscuit crumbs and set aside.
    Add 320g Philadelphia and mix for 30 seconds on Speed 4-5. Mix with spatula and then mix again for 20 seconds on Speed 4-5.
    Wrap with plastic film and refrigerate for 30 minutes
    Get an aprox. 60g piece of biscuit dough. Set aside a small piece of it to prepare ears and 4 legs
    To prepare body place kit kat at the center and wrap around it. Give it an oval shape with help of some plastic film.
    Roll it in fine biscuit crumbs until covered.

    Insert 2 chocolate chips to form the eyes.
    Place mouses on baking paper. (The mouses can be placed directly on the serving plates but if you are preparing as many as we did this could be a problem to store them in the fridge. If you plan to prepare one big mouse or not as many as we did, you could put them into the serving plates already.)
    Form ears and legs (2 skinnier shorter front legs and 2 wider longer back legs) and stick them by applying a little egg white
    Continue to form mouses with the remaining biscuit dough.

    Mix 50g Philadelphia with icing sugar and very little red food coloring to give a pink color (for me only 1 drop was enough). Pipe with a piping bag or paper cone, which you can make yourselves, to form nails, nose, ears and tail as seen in the photos. (You can check this video to see how to prepare a paper cone)

    Store in the fridge, serve at room temperature.


Enjoy


Note:  If you will prepare a large number of mouses I'd recommend you to have a couple of people with you for help. It is quite time consuming and if you are kind of a perfectionist it might take ages! :)
