ingredients

125 g dark cooking chocolate, chopped
30 g butter
2 tablespoons cream
¹⁄₂ teaspoon vanilla
¹⁄₂ cup macadamia nuts, finely chopped (or walnuts)

directions

To make the cones:- Cut twenty-five 9cm foil squares.
Fold each diagonally in half to make a triangle. Hold each triangle with the long side towards you.
Bring lower right point over to meet top point. Roll left side of foil around right side to form a cone with a tight point at the bottom; secure with tape. Repeat with the other squares.
Place chocolate and butter in a medium bowl.
Heat, covered on HIGH 2 - 2 1/2 minutes, or until melted.
Remove from microwave and stir until smooth.
Stir in cream and vanilla.
Set the bowl over iced water; beat mixture until fluffy.
Fold in nuts, keeping 1 Tbsp.
Spoon the mixture in a piping bag fitted with a medium star tube; pipe into foil cones.
Sprinkle with reserved nuts.
Put in the refrigerator for a least 1 hour or until set. Cheers, Doreen Doreen Randal, Wanganui.
