Ingredients

Main Ingredients

5 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tbsp potato starch
6 large eggs
12 tbsp sugar
Lemon juice
Chocolate

Additional Ingredients

Chopped nuts
Raisins
Coconut flakes

Preparation Time

40 minutes (including preparation and baking)

Step-by-Step Instruction

Preheat your oven to 180-200°C (356-392°F) and prepare a baking pan by lining it with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until they form a light, fluffy mixture that does not easily fall from a spoon.
Sift together the all-purpose flour and potato starch. Gradually fold these dry ingredients into the egg mixture, ensuring there are no lumps.
Pour the batter into your prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Place in the preheated oven and bake until the top is golden brown, approximately 15-20 minutes.
While the cake bakes, melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Stir in a few drops of lemon juice to the melted chocolate for a hint of acidity.
Once the biscuit is cooled, gently cut out heart shapes using a knife or a heart-shaped cookie cutter for uniformity.
Dip each heart-shaped biscuit into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is thoroughly coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing it on a wire rack.
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the heart treats with chopped nuts, raisins, and coconut flakes according to your preference.
Let the chocolate set for about 10 minutes until firm. Optionally, you can chill them in the refrigerator to speed up this process.
Once set, your chocolate biscuit heart treats are ready to be served and enjoyed.

Tips

Ensure the eggs and sugar are well-whisked to incorporate air, which helps the biscuit rise.
Use high-quality chocolate for a richer flavor.
Experiment with different types of nuts or dried fruits for varied flavors and textures.
If you don’t have a cookie cutter, trace a heart shape on parchment paper and use it as a guide.
