Eggless Chocolate Cornets

 
 For this month’s Baking Eggless Group challenge I chose Chocolate Cornets recipe from an youtube video. This consists of a bread cone with chocolate custard filling. Both recipes contained eggs and the group tried baking it eggless. I will be posting a round up of the members recipes on April 3rd. I prepared 12 cornets. Every one liked it. My nieces along with my daughter enjoyed it very much. As I didn’t have cornet moulds, I prepared them with chart paper and foil. They came out very nice, but I am very sorry for not including the step wise pictures. I will give you the link for the video which teaches the technique.

3. Knead the dough for 5minutes and then flatten the dough on the counter.
4. Place the butter in the middle and cover it up with the dough.
5. Now it will become real messy.
6. Knead the dough for another 5-7minutes until the butter is incorporated and the dough becomes super soft and elastic.
7. Place the dough in an greased bowl and cover with a towel.
8. Allow it to rise it for 1 hour.
9. Deflate dough and divide it into 12 equal parts.
10. Roll each ball into a roll and keep it covered on the counter for 5minutes.
11. Grease the cornet moulds. 
12. Flatter each roll into a flat circle.
13. Roll it into a rope and pinch the edge. Now roll it into a 1 1/2′ long rope which is thin at edges and thicker in the middle.
14. Start from the bottom of the mould. Wind the rope from bottom to top and then pinch the end.
15. Place the prepared cornets on a greased tray and allow it to rise for 15-20minutess.
16. Apply a milk wash.
17. Preheat oven to 180C and bake the cornets until the top is golden.

For The Chocolate Custard:

4. Add butter and remove from flame.
5. Mix until the butter is incorporated. 
6. Add grated chocolate and mix until the custard is smooth.
7. Transfer the custard to a bowl and cover it with a cling wrap. The cling wrap must touch the custard. This is to avoid the formation of skin on the custard.
8. Refrigerate until cool.
 
Assembling the Chocolate Cornets:
1. Take the custard in a piping bag or plastic bag.
2. Make a small hole at the tip.
3. Place the bag inside the cornet and squeeze the bag to fill the cornet with the custard.
4. Repeat for the other cornets.
5. Serve and enjoy.
 
Egg Substitutes I used For This Recipe:
For the bread dough I substituted the egg with butter milk and baking powder.
For the custard, I added custard powder instead of eggs.
Both worked out very well.

      1. Thanx a ton gayatri for the help. I wanted to prepare the cornets in advance for diwali. Can i bake the same 4-5 days in advance and store in an air tight container.

        Also, after filling the cornets if I store in air tight container in a fridge. Will it become soggy.

        1. Shradha, cornet will keep in room temperature for only one day. Why not freeze them and thaw them out when required? And you can refrigerate filling in a jar and use it when needed..
