Chocolate covered struffoli: a tasty variation of the traditional Christmas dessert!

published on 27 December, 2017 at 13:00
Here’s how you can make the traditional stuffoli even tastier!

INGREDIENTS
for the struffoli
500g flour
3 eggs
2 egg yolks
salt
100g sugar
60g butter
baking powder (optional)
lemon zest

DIRECTIONS
1. To make the struffoli, mix together flour, eggs, sugar, and butter. If you like harder struffoli then do not add the baking powder. If you like them bigger and crunchier add two teaspoons of baking powder.
2. Roll the dough out into ropes and slice the ropes into little balls (like you would do when making gnocchi).
3. Deep fry a few at a time. Let them fry for a few minutes, then place them on some paper towels.
4. Cover in a chocolate cream made by combining hazelnut cream with melted dark chocolate and cover with sprinkles.
