Recommended Equipment
Ingredients
- 50 g almonds 1/2 cup
- 50 g dates
- 2 tbsp protein powder
- 1 tbsp ground tiger nut
- 3-4 tbsp almond butter
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- pinch of salt
- 50 g dark chocolate
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients except for dark chocolate in a food processor or blender and blend into a mass.
- If the mass seems a bit too dry, add more nut butter or some coconut oil.
- Roll the mass into little balls and put them in the fridge.
- Now you're tempering the dark chocolate for the shiny and crisp cake glaze using the seeding method. Don’t worry—it’s not as complicated as it might seem at first glance.Finely chop the chocolate to make melting easier and ensure even heat distribution. Prepare a saucepan with a little water and heat it gently so that the water simmers without boiling. Place a melting pot over the saucepan, ensuring the bottom doesn’t touch the water, or use a heatproof bowl set on top. Melt about 2/3 of the chopped chocolate in the pot, stirring regularly until it is completely melted. Monitor the temperature carefully; the chocolate should reach a range of about 113 to 120°F (45 to 49°C).Remove the pot from the heat and stir in nearly all of the remaining chocolate pieces. This cools the mixture and helps it crystallize properly. Leave a few pieces aside for adjustments if needed. The chocolate should now reach a temperature of around 89°F (32°C), feeling cooler and slightly thicker but still workable.
- Pour into a glass and dip the balls into it using a fork. Put on parchment paper until firmed up.
