Tsoureki filled chocolate kariokes

Ingredients

For 15 pieces

• 200 g grated dry tsoureki
• 100 g couverture for the filling
• 100 g couverture for coating
• 100 g heavy cream
• 50 g walnuts, coarsely chopped

Preparation

Grate the tsoureki in the food chopper.

Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan and when it reaches boiling point, remove from heat. Add the chocolate and stir until it melts. Pour over the tsoureki crumbs and mix.

Chop the walnuts with a knife and add them to the mixture. Stir to incorporate. Put the mixture in the refrigerator for half an hour to solidify. Once it cools down, shape it into a roll and cut it into pieces.

Melt the chocolate for the coating, over a bain-marie. If it’s very thick, add some heavy cream to dilute a little. Dip the pieces in, place them on a baking rack to drain and then put them in the fridge to cool.
