Chocolate almond balls

Ingredients

• 250 gr of toasted almonds or hazelnuts
• 220 gr of 70% dark chocolate
• 1 glass of flaked almonds
• 1 glass of icing sugar
• 280 gr of 70% dark chocolate for garnish

• Preparation

  Toast the almonds or hazelnuts in the oven at 150° for around 15 min.

  Put toasted almonds, chocolate and icing sugar in the blender bowl

  Grind all the ingredients to obtain a thick paste (be careful not too much otherwise it will be liquid and you will no longer be able to form the balls)

  Form the balls by rolling a small piece of dough in the palm of your hands.

  Melt the dark chocolate in a bain-marie.

  Dip the balls in the melted chocolate, and roll the balls in the flaked almonds.

  Store in an airtight container
