Here is what me and Alissa made for our boys this Valentine's Day - chocolate Valentine's
We baked a basic chocolate sponge - the one from the package, where you add 3 eggs, cup of water and 1/3 cup of oil.
Then, we cut out hearts of various colour using cookie cutters
For filling and decoration - basic chocolate ganache + whipped cream + sweet cherries
Chocolate Ganache
250 grams semi sweet chocolate chips
1 cup of whipping cream
1/3 cup of butter
Put all the ingredients in a glass bowl, microwave for 2 minutes, mix well until even, let cool, whip with a mixer for 3-4 minutes
Whipped Cream
2 cups whipping cream + 1/2 cup icing sugar - beat till steady peaks
Fill the pastries and decorate up to your liking
I was not allowed to decorate - Alissa did it all!
