delicious chocolates, makes about 80 pieces
Grind the almonds in a mill and place in a bowl. Mix the powdered sugar, flour, cocoa, and baking powder and sift over the dough. Make a well in the center, add the egg yolks and a pinch of salt, and scatter the butter in small pieces over the floured edges. Starting in the center, quickly knead into a smooth dough. Shape the dough into 3 cm thick logs, wrap in foil, and chill for 30 minutes. Cut into 1 cm thick slices with a knife, roll into balls, and place on baking sheets lined with baking paper. Use a wooden spoon handle to make deep holes in the balls and chill for another 10 minutes. Bake in a preheated oven at 175 °C (150 °C fan-assisted oven) on the second shelf from the bottom for 15-18 minutes and let cool completely on a wire rack. For the praline filling, finely and evenly chop the white chocolate and hazelnut glaze. Heat the cream and remove from the heat. Stir in the chocolate and glaze and melt, then return to the still-warm stovetop for a short time if necessary. Refrigerate the mixture until it’s almost solid again. Now, using the whisks of a hand mixer, gradually beat in the butter and rum. Then fill a piping bag with the glaze and pipe dots into the hollows of the balls. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until the glaze has completely set! Melt the cake glaze according to the instructions and let it cool until it’s just liquid. Then cover the dots of glaze with it. This works great with twisted piping bags made of parchment paper! Stored between layers of parchment paper in a cool tin, the chocolates will keep for at least 2 weeks!
