Hedgehogs

Preparation

Baking Directions:

To make the shellMelt the milk chocolate slowly in a microwave oven until the chocolate is about 80% melted, leaving about 20% still solid.

Melt the remaining chocolate by stirring the mixture until all solid chocolate has melted.

Pour the melted chocolate into your mold (any mold shape will do, if you can't find hedgehog molds) just enough to cover the walls of the mold.

Pour the excess chocolate out of the molds so you have a nice thin shell.

Let the mold sit to dry.

Prepare the centerBy mixing the melted milk chocolate and hazelnut puree.

Ensure both ingredients are at 85F or 15C.

Blend the ingredients together.

With a piping bag, pipe the mixture into milk chocolate shells.

Using a spatula, spread the leftover milk chocolate on the mold, and smooth out any air bubbles.

This will create the bottom of your hedgehog shell.

Let the mold dry at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerate for 15 minutes.
