Ingredients
- 100 grams Almond Flour
- 80 grams Powdered Erythritol
- 3 large Egg Whites
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 50 grams Whole Almonds
- 100 grams Unsweetened Dark Chocolate
- 50 milliliters Heavy Cream
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form.
Step 3
Gradually add the powdered erythritol to the egg whites, whisking until stiff peaks form.
Step 4
Gently fold in the almond flour and vanilla extract until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the mixture.
Step 5
Transfer the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large round tip.
Step 6
Pipe 6 cm long strips onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
Step 7
Press two whole almonds on each strip, slightly apart, creating a hoof-like shape typical of Bokkenpootjes.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 17 minutes, or until the meringue is set and lightly browned.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet.
Step 10
Meanwhile, create the chocolate coating by melting unsweetened dark chocolate with heavy cream using a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth.
Step 11
Once the bokkenpootjes are cool, dip each end into the melted chocolate and place them back on the parchment paper to set.
Step 12
Allow the chocolate to fully harden before serving or storing. These Bokkenpootjes can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
