Ingredients

- 120g of dark chocolate

- 120g of almonds

- 120g sugar

- 1 egg white

- ground cloves, cinnamon

If you have the almonds with peel you need to take it out. Boil some water in a small pot. Add the almonds and wait 1-2 min. Strain them and simply press them, the peel will come out easily.

Put the almonds in an oven tray with parchment paper. Dry them for 5 to 10 min at 180°C (360F). Once dried, use a food processor to grind them.

Grind the almonds really well. Grind also the dark chocolate.

Put the chocolate and almonds in a bowl. Add ground cloves and cinnamon to taste.

Mix everything. In another bowl beat the egg white and salt until stiff peaks form.

Add the sugar one spoon at a time, costantly mixing.

Beat until you get a shiny, dense cream.

Add the white mixture in the chocolate and almonds bowl. Mix gently.

Place some baking paper in a oven tray and with WET hands make small balls with the mixture, about 2cm wide. (so it won't stick to your hands)

Cook in the oven at 130C (265F) for 30 minutes.

Let them cool at room temperature. Store in a tupperware for later. Eat cold.
