Turkish Chocolate Thins (Pack of 3)

Product Information

As I was passing through my local Foodland the other day, these caught my eye. Partly because I saw my own name (admittedly, with the alternate spelling, but nevertheless) – and partly because of the magic words: “ Turkish Delight”. No surpise the Turkish Delight was my favourite one of all. Even today when we get a box of chocolates, I claim the Turkish delight as my own. I could not eat any more than one or two of them at once . . . they are too sweet, but boy oh boy do I enjoy those one or two. On a cake stand or cake board (or wherever your cake is going to sit) put a heaped teaspoon of butter cream in the middle and position your first sponge cake on top of that. This will anchor your cake in place and stop it sliding about. Some bakers will also use a milk mixture that you have to watch out for. An inquiry into whether they use honey to sweeten the treat is also important if you want your delight to be truly vegan. However, the best Turkish Delight is made right in your kitchen where it is guaranteed to be vegan! How to Make Your Own Vegan Turkish Delight

After an hour, remove the pot from heat and add rosewater (or whatever aromatic extract you like). Stir thoroughly, then add a drop of food coloring. You can technically use any color you wish, but red is the traditional color. Don't add too much or else it will be too dark! Stir well. At Christmas we all want chocolate, we have a guide to your everyday chocolates but thought a Christmas one might help with all the chocolately Christmas specials around, whether it be chocolate santas, a huge box of roses or some naughty truffles. Pour mixture into the prepared tin. Leave out to cool and set over the next few hours or overnight. While the Mixture is Setting...

Now for the slightly time consuming bit; using a palette knife spread the rose buttercream around the sides of the cake. I found it easier to plaster on more buttercream than I needed and then smooth it off. It doesn’t have to be a perfect finish, but cover it as best you can, this is easier if your buttercream is soft. If if’s too hard, give it another beating. Imagine my delight when I discovered this box of Turkish Delight thins at my local Tesco shop!! Similar to After Eight mints, except that they are filled with a thin layer of Turkish Delight and covered in milk chocolate. It’s a stunning looking (and tasting) cake. It looks fancier and harder to bake than it really is. If you can bake a sponge cake and mix up some buttercream, then you’ve got all the skills needed to make this cake. Showstopping Turkish Delight Cake In a medium saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups of water, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and sugar, stirring occasionally. Once boiled, reduce heat to low and continue stirring every few minutes.

I had made brownies in the past filling them with a layer of minty After Eights. Oh my but they were scrummy . . . the centre of the brownies all fudgy and mint flavoured . . . impossible to put down. Imagine the same thing . . . but with a moreishly scrummy centre of Turkish Delight. Congratulations! Your Turkish Delight is finally ready to enjoy. Pair it with a cup of hot tea or perhaps a cup of vegan-friendly hot cocoa for a truly divine, melt-in-your-mouth experience! These smelled sweet. And taste of nothing much apart from sweet. That big fat whiff of rosewater – I think that was the flavour escaping, and once gone there was none left. Oldest son does not like Turkish Delight – on the grounds there is no flavour I got him to try one of these. His verdict: Meh. The Lady of the House says: Way too sweet. No flavour.Arrange the Turkish Delight thins and pieces on top of the cake in whatever way you think looks good. I did haphazard rows of thins with the pieces dotted about. Before you begin, it's important to prepare your tin ahead of time. Spray the tin with some cooking oil, then line it with 2 sheets of plastic cling wrap. Press it into the pan. Spray the tin one more time. Set aside. There are some ingredients in the video that are different, but the overall process is the exact same. The woman cooking in the video uses her Turkish father's original recipe with some fun twists. What You Will Need
