Christmas biscuits with fruit preserve and chocolate

Biscotti natalizi con composta e cioccolato

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 egg
  • 335 g 00 flour
  • 90 g icing sugar
  • 40 g almond flour
  • 150 g butter
  • Salt
  • 200 g dark chocolate
  • 220 g Apricot „Val Venosta“ preserve – Limited Edition

METHOD

  1. Place the flour, ground almonds, sugar and a pinch of salt in a food processor and briefly mix.
  2. Add the cold butter in pieces and mix until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Add the beaten egg and mix again briefly.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a work surface and quickly knead into a smooth dough. Shape into a ball, flatten slightly, wrap in cling film and chill in the fridge for a few hours.
  4. Roll out the dough to about 3 mm thick. Cut out small tree shapes (or other shapes) and place them on baking trays lined with baking paper.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C (top and bottom heat) for 14–15 minutes. Leave to cool completely on a wire rack.
  6. Melt the chocolate over a bain-marie. Dip the biscuits halfway into the chocolate, allow excess to drip off, and place on baking paper to set. Serve with the fruit preserve and enjoy.
