Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C and line a tray with baking paper, drawing 5 cm circles on the back.
- Whisk the eggs with the sugar for 5 to 7 minutes until pale, thick and forming a ribbon.
- Sift the flour, cornflour and baking powder, then fold them gently into the batter with a spatula.
- Pipe the batter onto the circles to form small domes, then bake 12 to 15 minutes until golden and springy.
- Let cool completely, then remove the biscuits and cut a small cap from the top of each to make a hollow.
- Melt both chocolates in a bain-marie and dip the top of each biscuit to coat it, then let it set.
- Whip the cream with the icing sugar until it holds its shape, then fold it into the vanilla pudding to make a light cream.
- Fill the hollow with apricot jam, add the vanilla cream, then close with the cap and cover the top with melted chocolate.
Variations and tips
No-bake version. Use shop-bought sponge biscuits and fill them with the same cream.
