  • 80 g sugar
  • 100 g almond(s), unpeeled grated
  • 150 g flour
  • 1 half lemon(s), grated peel

  • 1 tbsp pistachios, peeled and chopped

Instructions

Working time approx. 1 hour; Cooking/baking time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 10 minutes

Blend the butter with sugar and lemon zest until smooth, then knead in the almonds and sifted flour. Let the dough rest in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours. Then roll out the dough to a thickness of 4 mm and cut out hearts. Place on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving some space between them as the hearts will expand. Bake at 180°C for 7-10 minutes until light brown. Heat the blackcurrant jam and sandwich two hearts together, bottom to bottom. Melt the chocolate glaze, dip the hearts into the glaze, and sprinkle with chopped pistachios.
