Instructions
Preheat the oven to 190ºc/170ºc fan and grab a 12 hole muffin tin.
Grease and line with strips of parchment paper
Add the butter and sugar to a bowl and beat together
Add the vanilla and egg and mix again
Add the flour, bicarb, salt and cornflour and mix again
Add the chocolate chips and mini eggs
Split between the 12 holes, I use a 5cm cookie scoop, and then press into each one.
You can make a hole in the middle as you press if you want to make more of a dip
Bake in the oven for 14-16 minutes, and then leave to cool in the tin
Once cooled, use the strips to help remove them from the tin
Add the dark chocolate and cream to a bowl and melt together
Leave to set to a peanut butter consistency and then whip on a high speed
Pipe into the middle of the cookie cups and then add mini eggs
Notes
These last for 4-5+ days once made
These will freeze for 3+ months
If you want a milk chocolate ganache, use a 2:1 ratio, instead of 1:1
The mini eggs can be swapped for most other chopped up chocolates
You can use whatever flavour chocolate chip you want
You can sub the cornflour for 25g more plain flour
You can make these chocolate flavoured by replacing 50g of flour with 35g cocoa powder
This is the tin I use
