Caramel Chocolate Cups

20th December 2011 By Urvashi Roe

Caramel Cups

I demonstrated these simple cups at the London Chocolate Festival and they were a real hit.  You can make the cups from pastry or shortbread.  I’ve given you both options below. They can then be filled with caramel and topped with the simple mascarpone ganache like the one below or filled with curd and topped […]

14th July 2011 By Urvashi Roe

I never made pastry until last year.  It all seemed a bit of a faff with all the waiting around – while it’s resting in the fridge…while it’s blind baking…while it’s cooling…blah blah. I’ve learned now that it’s best to make when I go running.  I’ll whizz the pastry up in the processor and then […]
