I have adapted this recipe from my version of a gluten free Shortbread Creams recipe that I use. Gluten free biscuits can often spread on the tray & you can end up with 1 large “biscuit”. However I’ve found that these work well. After experimenting more with making gluten free chocolate afghan biscuits, I believe that egg helps these biscuits keep their shape.
I have made these gluten free jam drops a few times now & my husband really likes them. When I made the last batch I had some leftover mock cream from making gluten free neenish tarts (mine had a little raspberry jam in the bottom, the mock cream & where topped royal icing & melted choc on one side). To use up the mock cream I made gluten free “neenish” jam drops. Once the jam drops were cooled, I simply added a little of the mock cream on top with a drizzle of melted chocolate over the top.
Here is my recipe for the jam drops:
