1.
The milk, butter and sugar in the main ingredients are heated in a small pot over low heat until they melt, then turn off the heat after boiling

Put it into the middle layer of the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes on the upper and lower fire for 180. The specific time increases or decreases according to the size of the head

After baking, take it out and let cool. It’s best not to leave the oven when roasting, because the cocoa is dark in color and it’s easy to get over-baked.

12.
Whip the whipped cream with fine sugar, put it in a piping bag, insert it from the middle and lower part of the back, and squeeze it into the body.
Tips:
The weather is too cold and the chocolate solidifies too fast, so I can only blow it with a hair dryer from time to time. The green leaves on the top of the head can also be dried with fondant
