INGREDIENTS

Chocolate Ganache

  • 250g chopped milk chocolate 
  • 1 cup Clover cream

Milkshake

  • 3 scoops of vanilla ice cream
  • 1/2 cup chocolate Super M
  • 2 tbsp chocolate ganache

Cookies

  • 220 g Clover unsalted butter, softened
  • 170 g caster sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 400 g all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda

METHOD

Chocolate Ganache

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped milk chocolate and heavy cream.
  • Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval. This process should take about 3-4 intervals to fully melt the chocolate.
  • Continue mixing until the mixture forms a smooth ganache, ensuring there are no lumps.
  • Note: Be cautious not to overheat the chocolate. After the final interval, small pieces may remain; these will melt as you stir.

Milkshake

  • In a blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, Chocolate Super M, and chocolate ganache.
  • Blend until smooth and creamy.

Cookies

  • In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well to combine.
  • Gradually incorporate the flour and baking soda until the mixture forms a soft dough.
  • Divide the dough into two portions, setting aside about 1/6 of the dough. Color this smaller portion with your desired food coloring for the design.
  • Chill both portions of dough in the refrigerator or freezer for at least 10 minutes (for best results, chill for 2-3 hours).
  • Roll out the uncolored dough to create your canvas.
  • Roll out the colored dough and cut out your desired shapes.
  • Carefully place the shapes onto your rolled-out dough and gently press them in. Roll over the design with a rolling pin, applying pressure from different angles to prevent warping.
  • Cut out your final cookie shapes and place them on a baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for another 10 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  • Once baked, transfer the cookies immediately to a cooling rack to cool completely.
