Yield: 30
Ingredients
- 50g sugar free milk chocolate (I used Chocologic)
- 150g sugar free dark chocolate (I used Chocologic)
- 15g organic hazelnut oil
- 50g organic whole almonds (U.S. option HERE)
Instructions
- pre-heat oven to 200ºC fan or 220ºC static.
- place almonds on a baking tray and roast for 6-7 minutes until fragrant.
- let almonds cool down then put them in a zip bag or similar and bash them with a meat hammer so they are evenly crushed (you don't want fine crumbs).
- in a microwave proof bowl, brake chocolate and add hazelnut oil.
- microwave for a few minutes on very low setting, stopping and stirring often to ensure you don't overdo it and burn the chocolate (you can melt it in a bain-marie if you prefer).
- add almonds and stir well before pouring into your moulds.
- place in freezer for a few minutes until set.
- remove chocolates from moulds and enjoy.
Notes
If using silicone moulds, make sure you place a rigid mat underneath them, to help you carry them to the freezer without accidents.
Pour the almonds-chocolate mix into moulds using an ordinary teaspoon, it will be much easier than if you try and pour from a spouted jug.
Makes 265g of chocolates in total.
Metric kitchen scales are an inexpensive yet invaluable gadget to ensure accurate measurement of ingredients. Store them upright in a cupboard or over your worktop and they'll only take up a tiny bit of space. Click HERE for the ones I use. For U.S. option click HERE.
