The beehive mold is an excellent tool for creating traditional beehive or wasp nest sweets, a delightful treat for any occasion. Crafted from durable plastic, this mold is not only easy to use but also dishwasher safe for effortless cleaning. With dimensions of 5 cm in diameter and 4 cm in height, it’s perfectly sized for creating charming confections.
To make these delightful sweets, gather your ingredients: 1 packet of ladyfingers, 100 g powdered sugar, 60 g butter, 2 tablespoons of milk, 2 tablespoons of rum, 2 tablespoons of cocoa, ladyfingers for sealing the hives, and 2 tablespoons of ground nuts. For the cream, you’ll need 100 g of butter, 1 egg yolk, 100 g of sugar, and a tablespoon of rum. If desired, add cocoa to create a rich dark cream.
Preparation is simple: grind the ladyfingers, mix with the other ingredients to form a dough, and chill until firm. Press pieces of dough into the beehive molds, create a hollow for the cream, and cover with a ladyfinger or baked shortcrust pastry circle. Once set, invert the mold onto a flat surface and refrigerate until firm.
Tip: To prevent sticking, lightly coat each piece of dough in powdered sugar before placing it in the mold. This way, you won’t need to grease or flour the molds, making it easy to shape and remove the treats.
