Equipment
- 1 large bowl
- 1 medium ball
- 2 tablespoons
- 1 flat dish that fits in your freezer
- pot and stainless steel bowl
- silicone spoon
- baking paper
Ingredients
- 8 handfuls Cornflakes
- 100 gr Milk or Dark Chocolate bar
- Belmorso 45% Sicilian Pistachio Spread for extra indulgence
- Belmorso Sicilian 100% Pistachio Butter for a healthy treat
- Belmorso Protein Pistachio Cream for a protein snack
- Greek Yougurt optional
Instructions
- Melt the pistachio spread of your choice (45% Pistachio Spread, or Pistachio Protein Spread, or Pistachio Butter) with some water or milk. You will need more for the butter than the other two because it's denser.
- This second step is optional, in fact we skipped it. But it's a great way to add more protein. Use 100gr Greek Yogurt and mix it with the melted pistachio butter.
- Start adding the cornflakes, one handful at a time, so you can calculate how much you would like. The more you add, the more the crunch but the less the pistachio taste.
- Mix well.
- Use your clean hands to form clusters, and layer on your dish lined with baking paper.
- Freeze for at least 2 hours.
- Melt your chocolate using the double boil method. Let it cool.
- Dip each pistachio cornflakes cluster in the melted chocolate, and put it back into the dish. Be quick as the cornflakes will start softening.
- Freeze for many hours or overnight.
- Alternatively, you could add the melted chocolate after adding the cornflakes, and then mix, form the clusters, and freeze just once. I thought of this method after I had made mine.
- A final option, is to just drizzle the chocolate on top of the frozen clusters, rather than dipping them. This reduces the calories, and also avoids them from softening and breaking.
