Instructions:
To create these delightful Gluten-Free Ricotta and Chocolate Truffles, follow the simple steps below:
-
Prepare the Chocolate:
- Begin by finely chopping the dark chocolate using a sharp knife. Set aside.
-
Grind the Nuts:
- In a food processor, place the pistachios and pulse them until they resemble a coarse flour-like consistency. Repeat this process with the blanched almonds. You should end up with a fine, nutty flour.
-
Combine the Dry Ingredients:
- Transfer the ground nuts into a shallow dish or bowl, making sure they are spread evenly.
-
Prepare the Savoiardi Biscuits:
- Break the gluten-free Savoiardi biscuits into small pieces. Then, place them in a large mixing bowl and crumble them further with your hands.
-
Add Ricotta:
- Drain any excess liquid from the ricotta cheese and add it to the bowl with the crumbled Savoiardi biscuits. Stir until you have a smooth mixture.
-
Incorporate the Chocolate:
- Add the chopped dark chocolate to the ricotta and biscuit mixture. Mix thoroughly until the chocolate is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Shape the Truffles:
- Using your hands, take small portions of the mixture, approximately 20 grams each, and roll them into small balls. These will form the individual truffles.
-
Coat the Truffles:
- Roll each truffle in the ground pistachio and almond flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
-
Chill and Serve:
- Place the finished truffles on a plate or tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Once chilled, they are ready to serve and enjoy!
These Gluten-Free Ricotta and Chocolate Truffles are a rich, indulgent treat with a delightful mix of textures and flavors. Perfect for anyone following a gluten-free diet or for those simply craving a chocolatey bite-sized dessert.
