Pinecones from Cake

I saw a Reel on Insta and the next day I stumbled over the main ingredients at the Discounter.

In a 90 sec Reel it looks so easy. Making the base of these pinecones is very quickly made by hand. But then I had to form the cake part.

Use some gloves, it makes life a lot easier. It is up to you, to use either Nutella or jam for the cake part. I optiened for jam, it is fruity and less sweet than Nutella.

Break the cake with your hands in small pieces  add cream cheese and jam and mash with your hands as if you do meatballs. The dough should be pressed together.

Form pinecone bodies.

Now comes the fun part. Sticking in the chocolate cereals. Keep the cake on your gloved palm, insert cereal and put the finished pinecone in the fridge to firm up.

When you decide to give them away the next day or so, refrigerate the cake cones and stick the cereal in short before handing them out.

Sprinkle with powered sugar for some snow.

Recipe for 9 pinecones:

400 g ready made cake like chocolate or marbel cake. Even use leftover dry cake you have at home

50 g cream cheese

4 tbsp Nutella or jam

100 g Choco cereal

Powdered sugar
