Ingredients
For the Korzinki Shells
- 8 oz. unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs (room temperature)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 4 cups flour
For the Jello Cream
- 16 oz heavy whipping cream
- ⅓ cup boiled water
- 3 oz mango or peach Jello-O
For Decorating Supply
- Decorating piping bag bag
- 2D Wilton cupcake tip
- White pearl sprinkles
- Color spray (any color you prefer)
- Green apple licorice
- Apricot, pineapple, mango or peach, preserves jam
Instructions
- Using a paddle attachment beat butter and sugar in a mixer bowl on a high speed for 2 minutes. Reduce mixer to a low speed add eggs and beat for another minute until well mixed in.
- In a separate bowl, sift flour and baking soda. Add it to the mixture and knead it into a ball. This mixture is very similar to a cookie dough. Portion out 1-inch balls (or use a measuring table spoon, scoop the dough and scrape off the top for the even shell portion).
- Place one ball at a time into a mini tarts and then press it in the middle. Work the dough to the sides tightly. Press on the sides firmly to the form.
- For the cream, using a whisk attachment mix heavy whipping cream for a minute or until soft stiff peaks are formed. Reduce the mixing speed to low and gradually add cooled Jello and mix well just until all mixed in.
- Place 1/2 tsp. of jam at the bottom of the basket.
- Use a piping bag to pipe the cream in a circular motion to make a rose shape.
- Add a spray of color in the middle and sprinkle with decorating bits (optional).
- Cut the licorice candy to make leaf shapes and insert them on the side of the roses.
Notes
- When making the dough, make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature. This will help them incorporate more easily and give your baskets a better texture.
- Kneading the dough into a ball and then portioning out 1 inch round balls makes it easier to work with and ensures that your baskets are all the same size, so they cook evenly.
- Preheat your oven before baking the baskets. This will help them cook more evenly and rise properly.
- When making the Jello for the cream, let it cool to barely warm before adding it to the cream. If it's too hot, it could melt the cream and make it runny.
- Be creative with your color choices when decorating your baskets. We used purple color spray, but you can use any color you like to match the occasion or your personal preference.
- Don't forget to enjoy and savor it or for decorations (until they disappear), these beautiful bucket Basket of Roses.
