I’m going to be straight with you – the pastries have a pretty high FQ (Faff Quotient™) – I only got a dozen usable pastry ‘shells’ from a whole batch of the chocolate pastry (mainly due to my own clumsiness, I’ll admit) – so if it all sounds too much like hard work, just have a bash at the biscuits: they’re seriously good all by themselves! To seal the walnut whips, temper the remaining milk chocolate, using up any chocolate leftover from earlier. Drain the gelatine, squeezing out any excess water with your hands, then roughly chop into small pieces. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, bicarboante of soda, salt and spices, then whisk this mixture through the chopped nuts. Lay a sheet of parchment onto a tray that will fit into your fridge (to chill the assembled pastries).I won’t bore you with ALL of the trials and tribulations, and the various failed attempts, but I did eventually achieve success combining two differently-shaped ice-cream cones and balancing the metal shapes on top. If you are like me, then you will, without shame, bite off the walnut then stick your tongue in and wiggle it about. Place your mousseline cream into a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle then pipe a swirl over each cake and top off with a walnut. Spread melted chocolate over the bottom of the pastry shell and the coffee cream, and, turning the pastry shell over, set it onto the chocolate covered biscuit, where the chocolate should ‘glue’ them together.

Originally manufactured by Duncan's of Edinburgh in their Beaverhall Road factory, there have been a number of flavours of Walnut Whip over the years, including coffee and maple flavours, but currently only vanilla is widely available.The chocolate cone itself and the vanilla fondant filling have altered in recent years; the cone previously had a more pronounced tightly knit rough surface and the fondant was more dense. Walnut Whip was launched in 1910 by Duncan's of Edinburgh at their Beaverhall Road factory and is one of Nestlé’s oldest brands. The only change to the recipe along the way was the addition of a decorative walnut on the whip's outer peak.

Walnut Whip’s are a delicious whirl-shaped cone of milk chocolate with a whipped vanilla fondant filling, topped with a half-walnut.Alternatively, you can place all the ingredients in a non metallic jug and melt the chocolate in the microwave, stirring between 20 second blasts. Divide the batter between the 12 tins and bake for 20 minutes until the cakes spring back to the touch. rights and specific trade dress owned by Nestlé; rights elsewhere owned by Associated British Foods. I suggest working with just half of a batch of pastry at a time, since the strips of pastry will be quite long and potentially tricky to handle.
