Looking for something fun and interactive for the kids at Halloween? These Coffin Pop Tarts with Black Chocolate Dip are the perfect spooky treat.

Notes:

If you can’t get activated charcoal then sub with black gel food colouring, adding just a little at a time until you reach the desired colour.

Black cocoa can be subbed for any kind of cocoa powder but you will require more food colouring to achieve a black colour.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Serve cold or re-heat in the unit on AIR FRY, 160°C, for 3-4 minutes.

The dip can also be prepared in advance and warmed in the microwave in short 15 second bursts until liquid.

Utensils

  • Fridge
  • Step 1

    Start by placing all of the ingredients for the pastry, except for the milk, into the bowl of a food processer and pulse together until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Carefully pulse in the milk a tablespoon at a time until the mixture comes together into a slightly sticky ball of dough. Remove the dough and wrap in cling film. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes

  • Step 2

    Whilst the dough is chilling stir together the fruit spread and arrowroot flour with a fork until fully combined

  • Step 3

    Remove the dough from the fridge and lightly dust the worktop with arrowroot flour, sprinkle a little flour over the dough then place a large sheet of non-stick parchment on top. Roll out the pastry to roughly 3-5mm thick. Using a coffin shaped cookie cutter cut out 16 shapes. (Collect the scraps if needed and re-roll.)

  • Step 4

    Place 1 heaped teaspoon of the fruit spread mixture into the centre of 8 of the coffin shapes, tapering down to fit the shape then spread out evenly leaving a little less than 0.5cm of space around the outside. Dampen the edges with a little water or milk

  • Step 5

    Gently lift over one of the unfilled coffin dough shapes and press down around the outer edges, either with a palette knife or a fork, to seal. Pierce each tart several times using a fork or skewer

  • Step 6

    Place the crisper basket into the cooking pot and shut the lid. Select AIR FRY, set the temperature to 160°C, and the cooking time to 10 minutes. When the unit beeps to signify it has pre-heated open the lid and carefully place the precut piece of parchment paper into the crisper basket. Place in the pop tarts and close the lid. After 8 minutes have passed check to see if they are a nice and firm, if not cook for a further 2 minutes. Once cooking is complete transfer to a wire rack

  • Step 7

    Whilst the pop tarts are cooling it’s time to prepare the dip. Place all of the dip ingredients into a bullet style blender and blend until smooth. Transfer to a serving dish and serve with the pop tarts
