Buon pomeriggio "internauti"! Giacomo sta facendo il suo solito riposino pomeridiano ed io mi sto rilassando un po' gironzolando per il web e sorridendo delle pubblicazioni dei miei amici su facebook... Questi nuovi modi di mettere in contatto la gente sono strani... alle volte si stringono virtual friendships with people who in real life you know only by sight and the great thing is that you get to have a lot in common, so much to ask because before that time there had never exchanged a single word! I do not believe that they are all false reports ... the spirit with which we begin to write, behind that screen, make a substantial difference!
Moving on to the recipe ... You say: "Still Christmas cakes? But Christmas has already passed one month! We are fed up, we're all on a diet!". OK! You're exactly right! I too am sick of Christmas cakes and lavish meals ... but I promise that with this recipe this theme is the latest! Does not seem true to be able to say already in late January, but here today the sun is fantastic and I almost feel that spring is slowly along its path to get from us, and already in my mind ideas of lunches light of ham and melon, grilled vegetables, salads and ice cream ... then trust me, this recipe is the ultimate party!
During the Christmas holidays with my mom I made the almond paste. We have already peeled chopped almonds (1 kg) so very fine, as fine as possible, using a food processor. In order for the final product would be almost powder I recommend chopping small amounts at a time, because this is how the robot works better. Once we have the almond powder mixed with half its weight of sugar (0.5 kg) helping us and we mixed with a sweet liqueur (such as witch). The result is a fairly compact mass. At this point, with one hand, we formed into balls then we spent in the cocoa, with the remaining part we stuffed instead of dried dates, cutting to length and remove the stones. Then, not content of the "low calorie" for each date ... we thought we'd dip half in melted chocolate! Believe me, at Christmas you can, because ne vale davvero la pena!!!!
p.s. unico neo della ricetta: la pasta di mandorla col passare dei giorni si è seccata un po'... chi è esperto di questa preparazione ci ha detto che il motivo è stato di aver usato delle mandorle già spellate, che di per sé sono troppo asciutte! Avremmo dovuto acquistarle con la pelle e lasciarle un po' a bagno nell'acqua molto calda per spellarle a mano! In questo modo si sarebbero idratate leggermente e l'impasto sarebbe venuto più morbido... avete visto la pigrizia che effetto ha avuto...? ? Baciiii!!!
p.p.s. nella foto i dolcetti di pasta di mandorla sono close to butter biscuits I posted some time ago .
