Method
Preparation
- Begin by placing 300 grams of walnuts (about 10.5 oz) in your blender bowl. Add the granulated sugar (130 grams) and cane sugar (30 grams).
- Blend the mixture well until it forms a fine powder. Transfer it to a mixing bowl.
- Add 1 tablespoon of almond essence to the walnut mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whip the 2 egg whites until they form soft peaks. Gently fold the egg whites into the walnut mixture until well combined.
- Knead the dough briefly until it holds together.
- Coarsely chop the remaining 40 grams of walnuts (about 1.4 oz) with a knife and add them to the dough.
- Chop the chocolate into small pieces and add it to the bowl, followed by a pinch of salt and baking soda. Mix everything thoroughly.
Baking
- Preheat your oven to 175 degrees Celsius (about 350 degrees Fahrenheit) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Take a small amount of dough, approximately 30 grams (about 1 oz), and shape it into small cones using your hands.
- Roll each cone in powdered sugar to coat the exterior, then place them on the prepared tray.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until they are lightly golden.
- Once baked, remove the cones from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
- Arrange the cool Walnut Chocolate Cones on a serving dish and enjoy!
Notes
Walnut Chocolate Cones are best served at room temperature. You can arrange them on a stylish platter for a festive presentation. For an added touch of elegance, dust them with additional powdered sugar before serving. These cones pair beautifully with coffee or tea, making them an ideal choice for an afternoon dessert or a holiday gathering. You can also drizzle melted chocolate on top or sprinkle with crushed nuts for extra flavor and texture.
