Product Information

If you need to measure your cream or cream cheese out, the best way of doing it is with the ml setting of some digital scales – this is by far the easiest and most accurate way of doing. If it’s not fully set after 6 hours or if you don’t have 6 hours to wait you can pop it in the freezer for around an hour to firm it up. For teaspoon (tsp) and tablespoon (tbsp) measurements, please use measuring spoons* and not the type of spoons you eat with. Again this will ensure accuracy and provide the best results.

In 2002, however, Nestlé started adding butterfat to After Eights made at certain production facilities so as to increase resistance to chocolate bloom. This practice expanded to all production facilities in 2009. Nestlé has also made special editions of After Eights, including orange After Eights and milk chocolate After Eights. Don’t over-mix. Stir together until the mints are evenly distributed and there are no lumps of flour, but try not to over-mix. If unsure, it’s best to be undermixed than over. A US cup measure or a shot glass make handy tools for pressing the biscuit base into the tin and up the sides evenly.

To know when they are baked, give the tin a gentle shake and look for a bit of a wobble, just in the very middle but not a huge jelly-like wobble. The skewer test doesn’t work with brownies. They are done when they start to come away from the sides of the tin slightly.

The mixture must be cool before you add your eggs, otherwise, it will simply cook them! Yes, if you don’t have any mascarpone you can swap it for the same amount of cream cheese. Philadelphia is a good one to use. Cream cheese is a little stronger in flavour and adds a tanginess that mascarpone doesn’t have. If you want you can balance this tanginess with an extra bit of icing sugar. Using a hand held whisk, or the whisk attachment of your free-standing mixer whip the mascarpone and double cream together until your mixture has formed soft peaks and is nice and smooth.
