Equipment

  • 1 baking tray

Ingredients
 

  • 80 g hazelnuts peeled
  • 60 g sugar
  • 12 g cocoa powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 teaspoon honey liquid

Additionally

  • 30 g cream whipped approx. 40 % fat, créme double
  • 30 g chocolate high-quality dark

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat the oven to 180°C. Place the hazelnuts on a baking tray and roast in the hot oven for 10 minutes. Leave to cool, grind finely and mix with the cocoa, salt and sugar.
  • Beat the egg whites until stiff. Using a pastry spatula, first fold in the hazelnut mixture and then the honey.
  • Line a baking tray with baking paper. Pour the mixture into a piping bag with a medium, star-shaped nozzle and pipe small cookies onto the paper, spacing them out. Bake for 15 minutes at 180°C. Leave to cool on a cooling rack.
  • Melt the chocolate over a pan with hot water and leave to cool. Mix with the cream. Take two pastries at a time (bottom to bottom) and use this chocolate ganache to form one pastry.

Notes

Baci di Alassio should be eaten within a few days. Keep them in a closed jar.
