Method

  1. Melt the chocolate in a large heatproof bowl, positioned over a saucepan of simmering water (adults to supervise).
  2. Remove from the heat and stir in the Jordans Clusters, breaking up any large clusters with a spoon or fingers (Kids will like this bit) Make sure all the cereal is coated with chocolate.
  3. Spoon the mixture into 2 bun tins to make 15 cakes, levelling the tops with the back of a spoon.
  4. Chill the cakes in the fridge for about 25-30 mins, until set.
  5. Meanwhile, mix together the mascarpone cheese, lemon curd and lemon zest. Fit a piping bag with a star-shaped nozzle and spoon in the mixture. Keep chilled.
  6. Use a knife to ease the set chocolate cakes from the bun tins. Pipe a star of lemon mixture on top of each one, and finish off with a half a strawberry.

Cook's tips:

  • Line the bun tins with paper cake cases if you like, especially if you need to transport the munchkins to a party or picnic.
  • You don't have to pipe the lemony mixture - just use a teaspoon to place a nice sized dollop on each munchkin.
  • You can also use Jordans Clusters with Raspberries if you prefer, just top each munchkin with a fresh Raspberry instead.
