Homemade Titas (lemon vanilla chocolate snack)

Step 1/11

• 60 g butter

place butter in a plate, and mash with a fork until soft and creamy.

Step 2/11

• 200 g confectioner’s sugar

sift sugar over butter, and keep on mashing.

Step 3/11

• 2 tbsp lemon juice

gradually add lemon juice until it forms a soft paste. Once it is soft, add more lemon juice to taste. Be carefull not to add too much, since the paste could turn liquid and not work.

Step 4/11

once happy with the taste, place in a bowl.

Step 5/11

• 52 vanilla cookies

take two vanilla cookies, and spread lemon paste on one, then place the other one on top of it, forming a sandwich.

Step 6/11

repeat step 5 with all cookies. The paste should be about as thick as in the picture.

Step 7/11

place cookie sandwiches on a sheet pan, and chill in the freezer for about 15 minutes.

Step 8/11

• 200 g semi-sweet chocolate

melt chocolate.

Step 9/11

with a spoon, coat the top of the sandwich with chocolate. Personally, I like having only a light layer of chocolate over the top cookie, but if you want, you can coat the whole sanwich with chocolate.

Step 10/11

once all sandwiches are coated with chocolate, freeze them until the chocolate hardens, then store in the fridge until serving. (tip from my grandma: prepare them a day ahead, and chill overnight. they will be softer and the flavors will be enhanced.)
