Choco-Figollini
List of Ingredients
Instructions
1. Make the dough
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in lemon zest and vanilla. In another bowl, mix flour and baking powder. Gradually add to the wet mixture until a soft dough forms. Wrap and chill for 20–30 minutes.
2. Prepare the filling
In a bowl, mix ground almonds and icing sugar. Add egg whites gradually until a soft paste forms. Stir in almond essence. For a chocolate twist, mix in cocoa powder or a little melted chocolate.
3. Shape the figollini
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Roll out dough to about 3–4mm thickness. Cut small shapes (ovals, hearts, or traditional forms). Place a small amount of filling in the center. Cover with another piece of dough and seal edges well.
4. Bake
Place on a lined baking tray. Bake for 12–18 minutes until lightly golden. Allow to cool completely.
5. Decorate
Melt the chocolate using a microwave or double boiler. Dip or drizzle over the cooled figollini. Add sprinkles or crushed nuts if desired. Let the chocolate set.
6. Serve
Once set, serve or store in an airtight container.
