Santa Caps.

I loved the way they looked on mojewypieki.com, had to make them. It’s a bit unfortunate, that the strawberries are rubbish at this time of the year- they taste like they’re imported from another planet. They can’t really be replaced with any other fruit and equally can’t be made in May, so the whole thing do look better than they taste.

First the brownies. 100 g of butter, melted, 100 g of dark chocolate, chopped, in.  2 whole eggs lightly beaten, 160 g of sugar- I did half and half caster and brown. 3/4 tsp of baking powder. All ingredients combined, spooned into the silicone mould for round cookies, filled them up to 3/4 and baked for about 10 minutes in 180 degrees. I must say they were delicious when freshly baked, but after a couple of hours in the fridge with the cream and strawberries they lost the appeal substantially. Still, nice after quesadillas and empanadas we had this evening with Lisa and Andy.
