Corn Flakes Roses

This delicious little dessert takes its name from the desert rose, but instead of crystallized sand it's made of corn flakes and chocolate! A chocolaty pleasure to enjoy at any moment of the day...



For about 15 roses:

Time it takes:
  • 15 min to make
  • 2h in the fridge to cool down

Material:
  • a small bowl 
  • a glass bowl (or teflon)
  • a pot (it should be bigger than the glass bowl so that the bowl can float in it)
  • parchment paper
  • a big plate
  • a spoon

Ingredients:
  • 80g (2.8oz) cornflakes
  • 150g (5.3oz)chocolate (I prefer milk chocolate but it also works with dark or white)
  • 5cl (1.7 fl oz) milk
  • 50g butter (better if it's at room temperature)

Calories: 40kCal/10g (0.35oz)

Recipe:
  • In the glass bowl, throw in the butter, chocolate and milk.

  • Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie:
    • Fill the pot to 3/4 with water and heat it up until it boils.
    • When it boils, remove the pot from the heat and put the glass bowl containing the chocolate/milk/butter in the pot. 
    • Stir constantly while the chocolate/butter melts until you obtain a very homogeneous chocolate sauce.

  • Add the cornflakes to the chocolate and stir gently (you don't want to break the cornflakes or the roses won't be as nice)


  • Cover a big plate with parchment paper
  • Once all the cornflakes are all nicely covered in chocolate, use the spoon to lay little piles of cornflakes on a plate.

  • Put in the fridge for 2h, time for the roses to solidify. 
  • Enjoy!




Note: These are really good for breakfast, you can actually make them the evening before and then eat them in the morning with a good coffee!! Just for a good day start!
