Dessert with Almonds

 Ingredients: * 120 g butter (at room temperature, soft but not melted, cut into pieces) * 200 g almonds * 70 g crushed biscuits * 3 teaspoons of cocoa * 1 teaspoon of instant coffee * 1 teaspoon of coffee essence * 100 g powdered sugar

To prepare these delicious and aromatic little almond spheres, follow the detailed steps that will transform your kitchen into a true taste paradise. Start by grinding the almonds in a food processor. This is an essential step, as the texture of the almonds will significantly influence the final consistency of the preparation. Once the almonds are well ground, passing them through a sieve with 'large holes' is crucial; thus, the fine powder will fall into a bowl, while the larger pieces will remain trapped in the sieve. You will use these larger pieces later to give an attractive appearance to the little spheres.

From the almonds retained in the sieve, place 50 g in a separate bowl - these will be added during decoration. The rest of the ground almonds will be added to a larger bowl, where a rich and creamy mixture will be created. In this bowl, add the butter, which will provide a fine consistency and a pleasant aroma. Continue with the biscuits, cocoa, coffee, coffee essence, and powdered sugar. Mix all the ingredients very well until you obtain a homogeneous, slightly malleable composition.

Once you have obtained the mixture, it is time to bring it to life. Using your palms, shape small, approximately equal spheres, being careful not to make them too large, so that they remain easy to eat. These spheres will then be coated with the ground almonds you saved earlier. Proceed gently, rolling each sphere in the bowl with almonds, so that they are evenly covered, adding not only a beautiful appearance but also a crunchy texture.

The last step is to gently cover the bowl with the formed spheres and place them in the fridge, letting them cool for at least 2 hours before serving. This stage is essential, as it allows the flavors to blend perfectly and the texture to become pleasant to bite into. In the end, you will obtain a delicious snack, ideal for any occasion. Enjoy these little treats in the company of your loved ones and savor every bite!
