Directions
The last recipe in my trio is my reward for surviving this weekend. Chocolate mendiants are so simple to make, three simple steps and voila! beautiful chocolates.
I found the chocolate mendiant recipe on Belgium chef Emmanuel Stroobant’s website. It has a delicious chocolate truffle recipe with it too – definitely worth a try.
The weather has been ridiculously hot (for London) this week, so we had to make these in the morning and put them in the fridge to get them to set. The nuts were not to everyone’s taste but you can decorate them however you want on top, so we all made our own ones.
I hope my photograph does them justice. Tuck in, they won’t hang around.
