Chestnut & Chocolate Bites

Bocconcini alla composta di castagne e cioccolato

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 sponge base, approx. 18×18 cm and 1 cm thick
  • 1 jar chestnut fruit preserve (335g)
  • 100g walnut halves
  • 300g dark chocolate

METHOD

  1. Roughly chop the walnuts and stir them into the chestnut fruit preserve.
  2. Line a square tin with baking paper and place the sponge base inside. Spread the chestnut mixture evenly over the sponge and place in the freezer for a few hours until firm.
  3. Finely chop the chocolate and melt it gently over a bain-marie (double boiler).
  4. Remove the sponge from the tin and cut it into approximately 20 small squares.
  5. Dip each piece into the melted chocolate (it should not be too hot), allow the excess to drip off, and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper. If you like, drizzle extra chocolate over the top using a toothpick or the back of a spoon to create a decorative finish.
  6. Place in the fridge until ready to serve, allowing the chocolate to set completely.
