    About this recipe

    Melting Moments with citrus cream is a delicious melt in mouth butter biscuits with citrus cream filling.

    This recipe is from Master Chef Australia Season 4 where Julia did these Melting Moments to win Immunity pin ! I was so excited to see these goodies then and tried out the recipe....., Alas ! it was such a disaster , may be I had not measured the ingredients right. Tried couple of times and finally nailed it.

    I adapted this recipe from MasterChef Australia. Actual recipe called for Raspberry jam and vanilla buttercream for filling but I changed it to citrus cream using orange! Alternatively , You can check out the recipe from Taste.com.au

    True to it's name these biscuits are melting moments , It just melts in mouth and lingering cream filling just makes you lost .

    You need to try this easy melting moments recipe because

    Ingredients

    All purpose flour - all purpose flour / refined flour works well here. Alternatively, you can combinedly use whole wheat flour + refined flour in 1:1 ratio to equate all purpose flour . But my choice is APF in these biscuits it should melt in your mouth.

    Custard Powder - Unsweetened custard powder with vanilla flavor works great in this recipe . If you don't have custard powder then feel free to use corn flour and 1 tablespoon of icing sugar to equate to the custard powder amount. If using custard powder then use 2-3 drops of vanilla extract in your wet ingredients.

    Unsalted Butter - Use softened unsalted butter . Though I use salted butter in most of my baking recipes, in this recipe use Unsalted butter. As the amount of butter in the recipe is more, if you use salted butter , you'll end up with salted biscuits.

    Powdered Sugar - You can use powdered sugar or castor sugar.

    Baking powder and Salt - for the perfect rise , you need some salts together.

    Citrus cream filling ingredients

    Orange Zest - I prefer orange zest , you can combine both lime and orange zest together.

    Fresh Orange Juice - Squeeze out from fresh orange juice , though very little amount is required , fresh juice is always best .

    Icing Sugar - Use iced sugar or sieve powdered sugar and use in your recipe. As sugar need to be super fine for frosting.

    Butter - Unsalted softened butter for that creamy texture.

    Variations

    You can go creative in filling , Strawberry buttercream, blueberry cream , vanilla buttercream , Lime cream are few of the best filling that fits into these biscuits.

    FAQ's

    What can I substitute for Custard Powder?

    Can I swap All purpose flour with Whole wheat flour?

    Yes , you can . But my choice is APF in these biscuits as it should melt in your mouth. Rather than completely going for whole wheat , alternatively, you can combinedly use whole wheat flour + refined flour in 1:1 ratio to equate all purpose flour .
