Just like for shortcrust pastry, the dough of the chocolate biscuits does not require a long process. As soon as the ingredients are well blended, wrap the dough in a sheet of cling film and let it rest for at least 30 minutes to facilitate subsequent drafting. .- Roll out the chocolate paste between two sheets of baking paper until you get a 4-5 mm thick sheet.
- Thus obtaining 30-35 biscuits with the special heart-shaped mold. The scraps can clearly be kneaded again to form other biscuits. Arrange the biscuits in 2 trays lined with baking paper.
- Bake the biscuits in a hot oven at 180 ° C for 10 minutes. Lower the temperature to 120 ° C and cook for another 10 minutes. Turn off the oven leaving the biscuits inside: in this way you will be able to obtain crunchy and crumbly biscuits.
- Once cold, you can proceed with the coverage. Chop the white chocolate and melt it in the microwave or in a double boiler.
- Dip the surface of each biscuit in white chocolate and let it drip onto a grid. Alternatively, half the biscuit can be dipped in white chocolate to achieve the bi-color effect.
