Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1.5 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder

Method
 

  1. Sift together the almond flour, powdered sugar, and cocoa.
  2. Whip the egg whites with the granulated sugar to stiff peaks.
  3. Fold the dry mixture into the whites until the batter flows like lava.
  4. Pipe small rounds onto a lined sheet and rest 30 minutes until a skin forms.

  6. Sandwich pairs with chocolate ganache.

Notes

Let the piped shells form a skin before baking, or they'll crack in the oven.
