The Hedgehog‘s Nightmare
(The Wind In The Willows)
“….The road is a nightmare for hedgehogs..
Attempting to cross it is nuts.
Prickles mean nothing to vehicles.
But at least it shows we’ve got guts!…“
For those of you not yet familiar with the term Procrasti-Baking, this is a prime example of the genre –
Not only a unique optic and unique texture, an English biscuit that has softness and a shortbready bite, as well as a subtle chocolatey coconutness.

4
servings1
hourIngredients
100 g Almond Flour
4 tsp Coconut Flour
60 g Unsalted Butter – melted and cooled
25 g Erythritol
5 drops Liquid Sweetener (or increase erythritol)
1 small Egg
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/4 tsp Xanthan Gum
1/4 tsp Himalayan Salt
1 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
3-4 tbsp Desiccated Coconut
Low-carb or homemade Chocolate
Method
- Preheat oven 160 C
- Whisk butter and erythritol until creamy.
- Add egg, vanilla extract and liquid sweetener. Whisk.
- Sieve coconut flour, baking powder, salt and Xanthan gum. Add to mixture. Whisk.
- Add the almond flour, form into a dough with your hands.
- Roll into a sausage and divide/cut into 12 pieces.
- Roll each piece into a little ball, flatten slightly and form a nose at one end.
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until slightly browned.
- Make the chocolate.
- Pour the chocolate into a small high bowl.
- Let the chocolate cool until it has a thicker consistency.
- Holding the nose of the hedgehog, dip the body into the chocolate and place on a rack. You need to do this in batches.
- You may need to sit the little bowl in a dish of boiling water halfway through because of the chocolate setting.
- Whilst the chocolate on the hedgehog is still damp, dip the body of the hedgehog in a bowl of desiccated coconut.
- When all the hedgehogs are coated in coconut, take a toothpick and dip it into the thickened chocolate, make a blob of chocolate for eyes and nose on each hedgehog.
