Hi Everyone
These are the hedgehogs that I prepared for Halloween
I made 25 hedgehogs with the ingredients below and each hedgehog was about 55-60g.
For those of you that would like to make more or less hedgehogs let me give you the basic ingredients for one. I use 40g biscuits and 20g cheese for 1 hedgehog. You can figure out the rest.
You don't have to wait for the next Halloween to make these hedgehogs. They are cute rather than fearsome.
Ingredients for 25 Hedgehogs:1000g Oreo
500g Philadelphia
Kit Kat wafers
Chocolate chips (I used both dark and white)
Puffed rice
Preparation: Place 500g of Oreo biscuits in TM Bowl. Grind for 10 seconds on Speed 8.
Add 250g of Philadelphia. Mix for 30 seconds on Speed 4-5. At the same time blend also with Spatula. Mix few more seconds if needed.
Wrap the mixture with plastic film. Refrigerate it for at least half an hour.
Prepare a second dough with the remaining ingredients as it was described above and refrigerate it as well.
Get about a 55-60g piece off the mixture. Roll it into a ball shape using a piece of plastic film. Try not to overwork with the dough because it gets harder to work with as it gets warmer.
Cut a suitable piece of Kit Kat. Insert it to the ball, which is the body of the hedgehog. Close and correct the hole.
Remove the plastic film. Press and pull in front to form its face.
I placed my hedgehogs in paper baking cups so that we could transport and serve them easily. I'd recommend you to do so as well.
Shape the eyes and nose with chocolate chips. I made some with white eyes and some with brown.
Form its stings by inserting puffed rice to the body.
As I previously said, don't overwork the dough and avoid too much of contact. Keep refrigerated the dough which you are not working at the moment.
Store your hedgehogs in the fridge. Bring them to room temperature before serving.
Enjoy...
