Ingredients filling: 1.5 bars Dark Chocolate (150g) 60ml Cream 35% fat (50g) 3 tbsp Amaretto (25g) Preparation method cookies: - Give the almonds in a food processor and mix them until very fine for about 15sec. - Give the ground almonds into a bowl and add the icing sugar, egg white, bitter almond aroma, Amaretto and the vanilla sugar. - Mix all together with a flat wooden spatula or spoon. - Fill the mixture into an icing bag with a small round nozzle. - Squeeze out round, coin sized heaps onto a tray with a baking paper on it. - Flatten the nibs on the heaps with your finger which you put in some water before. - Dust the heaps with some icing sugar and let them dry for 12h at room temperature. - Preheat the oven at 180°C / 356°F and bake the Amarettis for 5min (with fan). - Let the Amarettis cool down and remove them from the paper and turn them over. Preparation filling (Ganache): - Give the Amaretto and the cream into a pan and bring it to a boil. - As soon as it boils remove the pan from the stove and let it cool for 30sec. - Break the chocolate into small pieces and put it into the hot cream mixture. - Make sure that all the chocolate pieces are in the cream, arrange them with a spoon. - Let the chocolate melt for 2 min. - Start mixing from the middle with a whisk until you have a creamy Ganache, do not mix too long. - Immediately remove the Ganache from the pan and give it into a bowl. - You can prepare the Ganache in advance, but don’t it store in the fridge because it will get hard in the fridge. - Fill the Ganache into an icing bag with a small round nozzle. - Squezze some Ganache onto an Amaretti and put another Amaretti on it like a Sandwich. Notice: - You may also use unpeeled almonds. - Consider using a good quality dark chocolate, low quality chocolates tend to make the filling “fatty / greasy” and not nice and creamy. - Should your Ganache have some unmelted chocolate in it, heat it up a bit very gently until its molten. Amarettis and Chocolate are the perfect combination and go very well with coffee. Preparation time: 45min Baking time: 5min Start to Finish: 13h Shelf life: - The Amarettis are best stored in the fridge in an airtight container, they will keep about two weeks. - You can also pack the Amarettis into airtight plastic bags and store them in the freezer for up to 6 months. #Amaretti #cookies #cookswiss Tags: Mini Amaretti cookies with Chocolate filling Amaretti cookies Amaretto cookies amaretti recipe amaretti cookies recipe cookswiss cookies amaretto cookie amaretto recipes soft amaretti cookies soft amaretti biscuits recipe soft cookies recipe amaretto amaretti biscuits what is amaretti chewy amaretti cookies what are amaretti cookies how to make amaretti cookies homemade amaretti cookie recipe best cookie recipe italian cookies
