Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Biscuit

Start by finely crushing the chocolate biscuits until they turn into crumb-like consistency. Make sure the crumbs are uniform to allow for even mixing.

This will be the base for your delicious pastry.

Step 2

Mix the Cream and Crumbs

In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed chocolate biscuit crumbs with cheese cream. Stir them together until you achieve a *thick, moldable mass*.

This mixture will help form the structure of the pastries.

Step 3

Shape the Pastries

Using your hands, take portions of the mixture and shape them into small, oval pastries. Ensure each one is compact and uniform for the best presentation.

Set the formed pastries aside as you get ready for the next step.

Step 4

Chill the Pastries

Place the shaped pastries in the refrigerator and let them cool for *3 to 5 hours*. This step helps them to firm up and hold their shape.

Don't rush this part; proper chilling enhances the texture.

Step 5

Prepare the Glaze

While the pastries are chilling, melt the chocolate for the glaze in a microwave or over a double boiler. Stir until it is *smooth and free of lumps*.

Once melted, allow the chocolate to cool slightly before glazing.

Step 6

Coat the Pastries

Take the chilled pastries out of the refrigerator and dip each one into the chocolate glaze until it is fully coated.

Let any excess glaze drip off before placing them back on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 7

Final Chill

Once all pastries are coated, return them to the refrigerator to cool again for at least *30 minutes*. This will set the glaze onto the pastry.

And just like that, your chocolate potato pastries are ready to enjoy!
