CHOCOLATE CAKES

It is Easter time, so chocolate has to be the main character of many recipes. I have started preparing “Fiorentini” and “Tartufini al rhum”

FIORENTINI
Ingredients:

300 gr. almonds without shell

300 gr. milk chocolate

It is quite simple find almond without shell and the brown skin. If you have to remove the skin just put them in a pot with a bit of water and let boil, then dry and rub them until clear.

Toast almonds baking them for few minutes in pre-heaten oven. Melt the chocolate bain marie, add almonds when creamy. Let sit then prepare a large tray with oven paper and using two spoons from small balls. Put in the fridge for half an hour.

                                    

TARTUFINI AL RUM
Ingredients:

100 gr. di amaretti

200 gr. dark chocolate

80 gr. butter

50 gr. di rhum

Unsweeted cocoa powder

Using the mixer mince amaretti, melt chocolate and butter bain marie, then add biscuits and rhum and stir. Put in the fridge for about an hour. When the mixture become hard make small balls using a spoon (smaller then a walnut) and pass in the cocoa powder.
