Instructions

Working time approx. 45 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour 45 minutes

Beat the softened butter with powdered sugar, salt, vanilla, and rum flavoring until it is creamy white and slightly runny. Then sift the flour and cocoa powder and mix, stirring briefly into the flour, otherwise the batter will become tough. If the batter is a bit too thick, thin it with 2-3 tablespoons of cream or milk, but don’t add too much, or the outlines will run. Spoon the batter into a piping bag (with a size 10 nozzle) and pipe flames onto baking paper or foil. These should be roughly the same size. Preheat the oven to 160°C and bake each flame for 10-14 minutes, checking the flames. Then spread the hazelnut nougat cream onto one heart with a knife and stick it together with a second piece. Let cool. Melt the glaze and thin it with the coconut oil, then dip the flaming chocolate hearts in it for decoration.
