RASPBERRY MACADAMIA COOKIES WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE (NO BAKE)
Food
RASPBERRY MIXTURE
200 g raspberries
60 g granulated sugar
COOKIE DOUGH
200 g Maria biscuits
75 g macadamia nuts (unsalted)
100 ml heavy cream (unwhipped)
250 g white chocolate
COATING
Grated coconut
TOPPING
125 g white chocolate
Place the raspberries and sugar in a skillet over medium heat. Simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, stirring regularly. Place a sieve over a bowl and pour the raspberry mixture into the sieve. Press firmly with a spatula or spoon to separate the juice from the seeds. Transfer the raspberry mixture into a piping bag and set aside.
Finely grind the Maria biscuits in a food processor.
Finely grind the macadamia nuts as well.
Bring the heavy cream to just below boiling (do not boil). Add the white chocolate (250 g, broken into pieces). Let it sit for 1 minute and then mix until smooth.
In a deep bowl, combine the ground Maria biscuits, ground macadamia nuts, and white chocolate ganache. Mix well.
Take 20 g of dough and roll it into a ball. Repeat until all the dough is used.
Spread grated coconut on a plate. Roll each ball in the coconut until fully covered.
Place the coated balls on a sheet of baking paper. Use a cookie cutter or ring (Ø 4 cm) to center each ball. Gently press a shallow hole in the middle with the back of a wooden spoon, your finger, or another tool. Repeat for all the balls.
Melt 125 g of white chocolate in a bain-marie (double boiler). Transfer the melted chocolate to a piping bag.
Fill each indentation with a layer of raspberry mixture. Drizzle melted white chocolate on top. Finally, pipe a small amount of raspberry mixture on each cookie and use a toothpick to create a decorative pattern.
Cover the raspberry macadamia cookies and refrigerate until set, preferably overnight.
🍣 Sushi-Inspired Kit Kats from Japan! 🍫
In 2017, Japan introduced some unique sushi-inspired Kit Kats at the Kit Kat Chocolatory in Tokyo! 🍱🍬 These special editions didn’t actually taste like raw fish, though. The tuna sushi flavor was raspberry 🍇, the seaweed-wrapped version was pumpkin pudding 🎃, and the sea urchin sushi flavor was a sweet mix of Hokkaido melon 🍈 and mascarpone cheese 🧀. All of them featured puffed rice, white chocolate, and a hint of wasabi for that extra kick! 😋🔥 facts fun fact geography history food
