\nThe “Baci di dama”, or the “kisses of the lady” are an Italian specialty of Piedmont. A crunchy almond and hazelnut cookie with a hazelnut and chocolate filling in the middle, the Gianduja! A pure marvel, especially with a strong espresso! I was able to taste this little cake for the first time in Venice near Saint Mark’s Square, in the Bonifacio caf\u00e9 (calle dei Albanesi). I then tracked him down in Turin in the Piedmont region. Here is the recipe!<\/div>\n

\nRecipe for about twenty Baci di dama:<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n-150g of sugar <\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n-150g of flour<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n-150g of soft butter<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n-75g of almond powder<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n-75g of hazelnut powder<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n-100g of dark chocolate<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n
\n -200g of <\/span>
\n<\/b>
\n
\n hazelnut paste<\/span>
\n <\/b>
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nPreheat oven to 150\u00b0C.<\/i><\/div>\n
\nPut the butter, sugar and almond and hazelnut powders in a bowl. Mix quickly.<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAdd flour and mix to form a ball of dough. Do not overwork this dough as it may become too hard when baking.<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nForm into equal balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. I weighed my pellets so that they all weighed the same (14g).<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nBake in the oven for 30 minutes. Then let them cool on a rack.<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nWhile the cakes are baking, melt the chocolate and add the hazelnut <\/i>
\n hazelnut paste<\/i>
\n<\/a>.<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nMix well and let cool. This is none other than Gianduja.<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nWhen the cakes have cooled, top with a teaspoon of gianduja as it begins to firm up. Be careful, the gianduja has a very fast solidification phase . In a few minutes it goes from liquid to a pretty hard paste! What I do is put the gianduja in a mini piping bag and as soon as I feel that the gianduja is malleable enough, I quickly fill the baci di dama like macaroons.<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nTo be served with an espresso, or as I prefer with a latte!<\/i><\/div>\n
