Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 7 | Almond Paste |
| 2 | Chocolate (melted) |
| 1/4 | Cup of Almonds |
| Powdered Sugar |
Instructions:
-
Mix the Almond Paste, Chocolate, and Almonds: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond paste, melted chocolate, and chopped almonds. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated, forming a smooth mixture bursting with flavor.
-
Knead the Mixture: Sprinkle a clean surface with 1 to 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar. Transfer the almond-chocolate mixture onto the sugared surface. Begin kneading the mixture until it reaches a uniform color and consistency. The powdered sugar will help prevent sticking and add a touch of sweetness to the mixture.
-
Shape into a Roll: Once the mixture is well-kneaded, shape it into a roll approximately 6 inches long. Ensure the roll is evenly formed, allowing for consistent slices later on.
-
Coat with Powdered Sugar: Roll the almond-chocolate roll in powdered sugar until it’s evenly coated on all sides. This step adds a sweet and decorative touch to the candy, enhancing its appearance and taste.
-
Refrigerate: Wrap the powdered sugar-coated roll tightly in plastic wrap to retain its shape and prevent any moisture loss. Refrigerate the wrapped roll for at least 12 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the candy to firm up.
-
Slice and Serve: After refrigeration, unwrap the roll and carefully cut it into 1/4-inch slices using a sharp knife. Arrange the slices on a serving platter, ready to be enjoyed by family and friends. Each slice offers a delightful blend of almond, chocolate, and sweetness, making it an irresistible treat for all.
