This giant, chocolate triangle filled with almonds, chocolate chunks and mini-marshmallows is made for sharing.

Method

  • In a large bowl, cream the sugar and the oil. Add eggs and mix well.
  • Add the vanilla and almond extracts and stir to combine.
  • In another bowl, sift together the salt, flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder. Then add to the bowl with the wet ingredients, mixing only until everything is well combined.
  • Wrap the dough with cling film. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 180°C.
  • Take the dough from the refrigerator, and on a lightly floured surface, roll to 2cm thick. Use a saucepan lid as a template to make into a 25cm circle and place on a baking parchment-lined baking tray.
  • Fill with almonds and chocolate chunks.
  • To form the hamantaschen: fold over the three sides, creating a pinwheel look, interweaving the sides over each other. Slightly pinch each corner of the triangle.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, remove from the oven, and immediately top with the mini marshmallows. Let the marshmallow slightly melt onto the cooked hamantaschen.
  • Cool completely and serve, or store in an airtight container for about 4-5 days.
