 Ingredients

  • 2 Eggs
  • 50 g Sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon Organic Grated Orange Zest
  • 50 g Flour
  • 60 g Fiordifrutta Rigoni di Asiago Bitter Orange
  • 40 g Chocolate, finely chopped

Method

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Line two baking trays with baking paper.  Place the eggs and sugar in a glass bowl, whisk them together and set the bowl over a saucepan, heating gently over a bain-marie until the mixture thickens. 
 Remove from the heat and continue whisking until the mixture cools, then add the orange zest and flour, folding gently. 
 Using a spoon, place the batter onto the baking tray, forming drops about 3 to 4 cm in diameter and spacing them apart. The mixture should make about 28 spoonfuls. Bake for about 8 minutes until golden. Leave to rest on the tray for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack with a spatula and allow to cool completely. Take two biscuits and sandwich them together with Fiordifrutta Bitter Oranges in the centre. 
 Melt the chocolate over a bain-marie and use it to decorate the biscuits with a small piping bag. 
 Leave to rest before serving.

Hi, my name is Erika and I live among the mountains in Valle d’Aosta. This is my little blog, where I share my kitchen creations. Because it’s wonderful to have a small corner where you can express yourself freely, letting thoughts and memories wander while flour‑covered hands knead… Just like when, as a child, I spent my afternoons with my grandmother in front of that little warm stove while it snowed outside… It’s lovely to have a somewhat magical corner that smells of cookies and apple pie. A corner that feels like home… Welcome!
