Coconut & White Chocolate Ganash Biscuits

October 16, 2020

This basic biscuit recipe is taken to another level with the addition of a white chocolate and coconut ganache filling. We have added a few drops of pink colouring to half the batch to make them even more gorgeous but that is optional. These would make a great Valentine's bake too using a heart shaped cookie tray mould.  Preparation time 20 minutes. Cooking time approx. 25 minutes.
