Ingredients
1 cherry pie ( I used one from Costco)
melting chocolate (white chocolate is delicious with this recipe)
Directions
1. Place a slice of the pie into a mixing bowl and gently mix with a fork. I folded and chopped it without smashing it too much.
2. Use a medium cookie scoop to transfer the mix to the small cake puck mold. Tap the tray and then use a scraper to smooth the top of the pucks so they are level with the mold. Scrape off any excess mix.
3. For this recipe, place the mold in the freezer (these centers have too much moisture to firm up in the fridge). Once they are frozen, pop them out! You don't want to dip your centers frozen solid, so when you are ready to dip them, put your centers into the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Dipping Instructions
1. Melt 17 ounces chocolate + a spoonful of crisco or coconut oil for 1 minute. Continue to microwave in increments of 20 seconds until chocolate silkily slides off your spoon (110 F-120 F).
2. Place larger mold (with the Benty Cakes logo on the bottom) on the plastic tray and fill one cavity with 2 tablespoons with melted chocolate.
3. Place chilled center on melted chocolate. Gently apply even pressure as you slowly press the center down until chocolate comes up from the sides and covers the top of the center.
4. Scrape off any excess chocolate. If there is not enough chocolate to cover the center. Add chocolate and scrape away excess.
5. Tap the mold tray on the counter to eliminate air bubbles.
6. Repeat these steps until all cavities are filled. Start out doing one at a time, once you are comfortable begin doing 2-3 at a time. Take care not to do too many at the same time as chocolate will set.
7. Because the centers are cold your pucks will set up quickly. Usually it takes about 15 minutes on the counter depending on how warm your house is. You can stick them in the fridge if you're in a hurry.
8. You can tell your pucks are ready to pop out if the mold pulls away cleanly. if you see any chocolate stick as you gently pull, they are not set yet.
The most satisfying part is popping out your shiny, professional looking Pucks!!
