Details

  • Preparation Time: 135 minutes
  • Cooking Time: 20 minutes
  • Difficulty: 2
  • Spiciness: 0
  • Number of Servings: 9

Ingredients

  • 190 g Nuts, almonds

  • 150 g Sugar, brown

  • 10 g Koruzni škrob

  • 10 g Cocoa, powdered, unsweetened

  • 9 pieces Egg, egg white, fresh

  • 75 ml Tomato juice

  • 50 g chocolate, dark

  • 30 g Tomato, dried

Steps

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine ground almonds, powdered sugar, cocoa, and cornstarch. Then pour in tomato juice and add all nine egg whites. Mix for a few minutes until a thick mixture forms.

  2. Melt the chocolate in a microwave (or using a double boiler). Let the melted chocolate cool slightly, then gradually mix it into the almond mixture. Refrigerate the almond-chocolate mixture for two hours.

  3. Once the mixture has cooled sufficiently, use a scoop to pour it into silicone molds. Fill the molds up to three-quarters. Sprinkle chopped dried tomatoes over the mixture. Gently press the tomato pieces into the mixture with your fingers to prevent them from burning during baking. Bake the biscuits for 15 to 20 minutes in an oven preheated to 175 degrees Celsius.

  4. Let the baked biscuits cool, garnish with whipped cream, and serve with tomato juice.
