Nonomix's Half Moons

[courton]

I have wanted to make Nonomix's Half Moons after loving her banana and chocolate cake. Here is her recipe

(for 12 mini muffin cases)

150g white chocolate
60g butter
2 eggs
40g sugar
100g flour
80g dark chocolate

Method

Preheat the oven 180C
Put the white chocolate  and the butter in the TM bowl and mix 6 sec, speed 6.
Scrape down the sides and lid with the spatula and cook 5 min, 50C, speed 1.
Add the sugar, the eggs and the flour.
Mix 12 sec, speed 4 (scrape down the sides with spatula half way through).
Pour mixture to 3/4 of your muffin cases (or silicone mould like I did).
Cook for 15 minutes (check it’s cooked by inserting a toothpick in one of the muffins. It should come out clean).
Leave them to cool down.
Meanwhile, melt the chocolate either in the microwave or in a bain-marie.
Dip each muffin into the chocolate mixture and set in the fridge for at least an hour.

The recipe is from her blog journal of a french foodie. Check it out.

I made her recipe using mini muffin tins and it ended up looking like mini mushrooms rather than half moons. No matter. It was delish!

cookie - I've used what I call mini muffin pans and I have made 23! Obviously my idea doing a mini muffin isn't everyone else's but they will make lovely little bite size cakes. I love them. They are just a perfect size. I don't know if they really look like half moons as I put them into muffin papers to save greasing the tins. I also used milk chocolate instead of dark.

courton - Cookie, that's exactly what I was thinking of doing next time. I think they would taste nicer as small morsels... the white and dark choc combo. Well done.

We're going to a car club meeting tonight so I am making these to take. I have used what I call mini muffin pans and I have made 23! Obviously my idea do a mini muffin isn't everyone else's, but they will make lovely little bite size cakes.
I'll try to photograph them as they have cute little tops.

I'm on the iPad and the only way I can do it here is with tapatalk. I'll dip them in chocolate later today.

Crouton were yours cake like? Mine certainly aren't ? I haven't tasted one yet though. Saving it for when the footy starts

[courton]

No, heavier tasting. That is why your idea of a tiny morsel is brilliant.

I've just had one for afternoon tea and I love them. They are just a perfect size. I don't know if they really look like half moons as I put them into muffin papers to save greasing the tins. I also used milk chocolate instead of dark.
