About

These soft, velvety meltaways are made with a fruity, fresh raspberry purée that brings out the flavour of the dark chocolate. Drizzled with milk chocolate and dusted with edible pink dust, these chocolates are extremely attractive and would make an ideal gift, presented in a pretty box or bag and tied with a ribbon.

Ingredients

115 g/4 oz coconut oil
400 g/14

Method

Line a 15cm/6in or 20cm/8in square cake tin (pan) with baking parchment, depending on how thick or thin you want the meltaways to be – a smaller tin will give a thicker confection.
Melt the coconut oil very gently in a large heatproof bowl positioned over a pan of simmering water. Use a sugar thermometer to ensure that it does not rise above 24°C/74°F.
