Ingredients

Servings: 25
  • 125 g Dark chocolate
  • 100 g Whipped cream
  • 7-10 Tbsp peel of 1/2 organic lemon
  • 125 g Butter
  • 190 g Icing sugar
  • 1 egg (size S)
  • 200 g Flour
  • 7-10 Tbsp Food colouring in red, blue, green and yellow
  • 7-10 Tbsp Flour
  • 7-10 Tbsp Cling film
  • baking paper
  • 7-10 Tbsp Disposable piping bag

Directions

  1. 1

    Chop 100 g chocolate. Bring the cream to the boil, remove from the heat, stir in the chocolate and let it melt. Pour the chocolate cream into a mixing bowl and chill for 2-3 hours.

  2. 2

    Knead lemon zest, butter in flakes, 90 g icing sugar, egg and flour first with the dough hooks of the hand mixer, then with your hands to a shortcrust pastry. Wrap the dough in foil, chill for about 1 hour.

  3. 3

    Roll out the dough in portions on a floured work surface to a thickness of about 0.5 cm, cut out a total of about 50 rabbits and eggs. Knead the remaining dough again and again and roll out again. Put the cut out biscuits on 2 baking trays lined with baking paper.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) for approx. 10 minutes one after the other, remove from oven and let cool on a cake rack.

  5. 5

    Briefly whip the chocolate cream with the whisks of the hand mixer, fill into a piping bag with a small perforated spout. Spray chocolate cream on about half of the biscuits, place the other half on top.

  6. 6

    Put the biscuits in a cool place for about 1 hour.

  7. 7

    Chop 25 g chocolate and melt over a warm water bath. Sift 100 g icing sugar and mix with 2 tablespoons of water, divide into 4 portions and colour differently with food colouring. Pour the chocolate and icing into piping bags with small perforated spout.

  8. 8

    Decorate rabbit cookies with chocolate. Decorate egg biscuits with icing. Leave the biscuits to dry in a cool place for at least 2 hours. Store them in a cool and dry place and consume them promptly.
