Étapes

Step 1/5 : For the chocolate biscuits

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • Beat the butter, sugar, vanilla sugar and salt until the mixture is white, then add the egg.
  • Add the buttermilk and beat.
  • In a bowl apart, mix the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate and cocoa together. Then gradually incorporate to the liquid mixture.
  • Distribute small scoops on a baking sheet covered with baking paper.
  • Bake at 180°C for approx. 10 minutes and then leave to cool on a cooling rack.

Step 2/5 : For the soft apple centre

  • Peel and finely dice a Pink Lady® apple and pour over the lemon juice.
  • Slice the vanilla pod in two (lengthways) and scrape out the seeds.
  • Cook the apples, vanilla and a dessert spoon of water in a saucepan (with the lid on) for approx. 10 minutes. Remove the lid near the end of cooking to allow the water to evaporate.
  • Reduce the apples to a purée using a stick blender, then leave to cool.
  • ‘Relax’ the mascarpone by beating in the icing sugar and a little of the cold apple purée. Add the purée little by little until you obtain a fairly dense mixture.
  • Spoon the apple-mascarpone cream onto the flat side of a whoopee biscuit and then complete the ‘sandwich’ by sticking the flat side of another to the cream. Repeat until you had made all six whoopies.

Step 3/5 : For the vanilla whoopies biscuits

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • Beat the butter, sugar, vanilla sugar and salt until the mixture is white, then add the egg.
  • Add the buttermilk and beat.
  • In a bowl apart, mix the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate and vanilla together. Then gradually incorporate to the liquid mixture.
  • Distribute small scoops on a baking sheet covered with baking paper.
  • Bake at 180°C for approx. 10 minutes and then leave to cool on a cooling rack.

Step 4/5 : For the spiced custard

  • Beat the flour sugar and eggs together.
  • Pour this mixture into a pan with the mixed spice.
  • Cook on a low heat adding the milk gradually and stirring constantly. Remove from the heat as soon as it reaches boiling point.
  • Pour the custard into a bowl and leave to cool. Then refrigerate for two hours at least.

Step 5/5 : For the caramelised apples

  • Peel and finely dice a Pink Lady® apple and pour over the lemon juice.
  • Cook the apples, vanilla and a dessert spoon of water in a saucepan (with the lid on) for approx. 5 minutes.
  • Add the sugar and turn up the heat to caramelise the apples, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat when the apples turn an amber colour.
  • Blend and leave the caramelised apple purée to cool.
  • Gradually add the custard to the apple puree while stirring constantly. The consistency should be fairly dense.
  • Spoon the caramelised apple-spiced custard cream onto the flat side of a whoopee biscuit and then compete the ‘sandwich’ by sticking the flat side of another biscuit to the cream. Repeat until you had made all six whoopies.
