Cadbury Chocolate Cushions

Ingredients

· 125 g butter, softened

· ½ cup icing sugar

· 1 cup self-raising flour

· ½ cup cornflour

· 1 teaspoon water

· 100 g cream cheese

· 100 g (4 rows) Cadbury Dark Cooking Chocolate, melted

· zest of ½ a small lemon

· milk

· coconut

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Cream the butter and icing sugar. Add the sifted flours, then the water, and mix until well combined. Wrap the dough in plastic cling film and chill for 1 hour. Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the chocolate and lemon zest, and beat well. Roll out the dough between two sheets of greaseproof paper or plastic cling film to 3 mm thickness. Cut out circles with a 7.5 cm fluted cutter.

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. Place on a baking tray. Very lightly brush each with a little milk, and then sprinkle with coconut. Bake for 12–15 minutes in a preheated oven at 180°C until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

Note: This pastry is not suitable for making in a food processor.
