Ingredients

• 125 grams Finely ground almonds
• 3 large Egg whites
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 50 grams Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Almond extract
• 120 grams Low-fat vanilla yogurt
• 100 grams Dark chocolate
• 20 grams Low-calorie sweetener (erythritol or similar)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 140°C (285°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.

Step 3

Gradually add the granulated sugar to the egg whites while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form and the sugar is fully dissolved.

Step 4

Gently fold in the almond extract, ground almonds, and powdered sugar until just combined.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large round nozzle.

Step 6

Pipe the meringue into finger-like shapes, approximately 8 cm long, onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until the meringue is dry and firm to the touch. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 8

For the filling, mix the low-fat vanilla yogurt with the low-calorie sweetener until smooth and set aside in the refrigerator.

Step 9

Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water (or in the microwave in short bursts) until smooth. Let it cool slightly.

Step 10

Once the meringue shells are cool, gently sandwich a small amount of the yogurt filling between two pieces, pressing lightly to spread the filling to the edges.

Step 11

Dip each end of the filled meringue fingers into the melted chocolate and allow the chocolate to set on parchment paper.

Step 12

Store the bokkenpootjes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
