Does anyone have a recipe for a chocolate filling for hamantashen?
I’ve heard that chocolate spread works well. Never tried it, though.
Ingredients:
* 3 tablespoons flour
* 1/8 teaspoon salt
* 3/8 cup sugar
* 1 cup parve creamer
* 4 egg yolks
* 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Makes: 1 1/2 cups.
Mix the flour, salt and sugar in a saucepan and blend in a little of the cream.
Place on medium heat and stir constantly.
Add the rest of the cream and and continue stirring until the mixture reaches the consistency of medium cream sauce.
Stir a little of the sauce into the egg yolks, then pour egg yolks into the sauce in pan.
Cook for a few minutes on low heat until thickened.
Remove from heat, add vanilla and cool quickly.
If you don’t mind milchiks, use real cream
Where can’t you get chocolate spread??
Good question
I guess it’s like the Mann
You have to imagine the chocolate.
I have been searching for one for a long time and finally a friend gave me one. she has not tried it nor did i have a chance to…so try at your own discretion;)
Chocolate Filling
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon margarine
1 tablespoon non-dairy creamer or other milk substitute such as soy milk
1 tea spoon vanilla extract
1 egg
Instructions:
Melt chocolate with margarine and milk substitute in sauce pan over low-medium heat.
Add sugar and vanilla. Stir until just melted.
Stir in beaten egg. Use immediately.
What about Nutella? Anyone ever try that? For my money, Purim ain’t Purim unless the hamantashen filling is prune lekvar to which I have added finely chopped walnuts, lemon juice, and allspice. Otherwise, it is just a triangular cookie.
Here’s a tried and true recipe from the OU weekly newsletter:
DOUBLE CHOCOLATE FILLING (Pareve or Dairy)
4 ounces dairy or pareve pound or chiffon cake
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa, sifted
1 tablespoon butter for dairy, melted (use margarine for pareve)
1 large egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
1 tablespoon orange juice
1/3 cup chocolate mini chips
1. Process cake into fine crumbs and mix in sugar and cocoa. Add butter or margarine.
2. Beat in egg yolk and vanilla. Add chocolate syrup and juice. Fold in chocolate chips.
3. Fill hamantaschen or other cookies, strudel or Danish.
It is reprinted on this gourmet website:
