Cooking

First, make jewelry, they can be done in a day or even earlier. The chocolate cut into pieces. Then easy with a sharp knife machined billet for hedgehogs. Fear not, white chocolate is a very malleable material and to cut figures out of it - a pleasure. For our hedgehogs, it is sufficient to round the corners and sharpen one end like a pencil, mimicking the nose. Also conveniently pre-grated a few pieces of dark chocolate, this is the future brand of our hedgehogs.

Now the cream. In fact, this is the usual custard. Half portions of milk to mix the starch and the egg yolks.

The second half of the milk pour into a saucepan with a thick bottom, add the sugar and stir well heat until the sugar dissolves. Then pour the sweet milk into the milk mixture with the yolks, stir well and pour everything back into the saucepan.

Cook over low heat until thick. After you add the vanilla sugar, a tablespoon of butter and a pinch of salt.

Cover with cling film and cool completely. It is recommended to put it in the refrigerator for about two hours.

Turn on to warm up the oven to 180*C. Beat softened butter with sugar, add one egg, a pinch of salt and vanilla.

In this mixture, sift the flour with the baking powder, after mixing obtain a fairly thick batter.

Molds grease with oil (I have silicone, so I did not grease). Of this amount, the test I got 16 cupcakes. A large part of the test to distribute the forms. A teaspoon to make indentations.

To fill the deepening of the cream.

Completely cover top with remaining batter.

Bake at 180*C for 20 minutes. Guided by the appearance of the cupcakes, they should increase in volume, reddening.

To prepare the ganache. To do this, in the broken pieces of the chocolate add the cream and heat in a water bath or in the microwave intervals of 20 seconds, stirring. The tops of the cooled cupcakes dipped in ganache.

Now it is the turn of the hedgehogs. To take our zagotovok of white chocolate for the "nose" and dip it in the ganache to "faces". Sprinkle drenched part of the grated chocolate. Solemnly to sit on a hedgehog cupcake. A toothpick dipped in ganache, and draw the nose, eyes and mouth. Then I "planted" a little weed from sugar topping, here is where to turn fantasy.

Here we have this spring! Bon appetit!!!
