Method (cookie)

1. Pre-heat oven to 180°c fan (350°F, gas mark 4) and grease a cupcake tin with dairy-free butter and line a baking tray with grease proof paper. Set aside.
2. Add the butter, icing sugar and flour into a food processor / blender. Mix until a cookie dough forms. Add in 1 – 3 tablespoons of milk to help create a smooth dough. You can mix by hand or in a food processor. Don’t over mix the dough or it can become tough.
3. Roll out the dough, to around 1/2 to 1/4 inch thick. Use a medium sized flower cookie cutter to cut out flower shapes. Place the flowers into the grease cupcake tin, pushing it down so it’s in a cup shape. Prick the base with a fork. Watch the video for reference, as it’s better explained visually. 
4. Roll out left over dough, cut out strips and form into a U shape. Place on the lined baking tray, these make the basket handles.
5. Place into the freeze for 5 minutes to help firm up the biscuits before baking.
6. Place into the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden in colour.
7. As the cupcake tin was greased, they should just slip out of the tin. Set aside to cool fully before filling. They will also firm up and become less soft as they cool.

Method (filling)

1. Add 4 tablespoons of store bought or homemade vegan caramel into a piping bag, snip off the tip.
2. Pipe a swirl of caramel sauce to the base of the cookie cup.
3. Add the chocolate and cream into a saucepan, heat on low stirring constantly until smooth and glossy. Allow to cool for a few minutes before transferring into a piping bag, snip off the tip.
4. Pipe the chocolate ganache on-top of the caramel. Place in the fridge to set, around 30 minutes.
5. Durin this time, whip up the whipping cream along with cocoa powder until thick. You cna use a stand mixer fitted with balloon whisk attachment, or electric hand whisk.
6. Transfer into a piping bag fitted with a star tip nozzle.
