Cadbury Chocolate Cushions

Serves 24

Ingredients

125g butter, softened
½ cup icing sugar
1 cup self-raising flour
½ cup cornflour
1 teaspoon water
100g cream cheese
100g (4 rows) Cadbury® Dark Cooking Chocolate, melted
zest of ½ a small lemon
milk
coconut

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Cream the butter and icing sugar.
2. Add the sifted flours, then the water, and mix until well combined. Wrap the dough in plastic cling film and chill for 1 hour.
3. Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the chocolate and lemon zest, and beat well.
4. Roll out the dough between two sheets of greaseproof paper or plastic cling film to 3mm thickness.
5. Cut out circles with a 7.5cm fluted cutter.
6. Place a heaped teaspoonful of chocolate mixture on one half of each circle. Carefully fold the dough over, joining the edges to encase the filling.
7. Place on a baking tray. Very lightly brush each with a little milk, then sprinkle with coconut.
8. Bake for 12–15 minutes in a preheated oven at 180°C until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
