With a little of emotion ….. I post this recipe. Why?
Because: 1) first of all with this recipe I’m going to take part my first contest “otherwise sweet” proposed by the No Sugar Please blog ….. and up to 2 months ago not only did not know the existence of these contests, but I had never used a social network, and 2) I put into practice all that I have learned in my cooking courses, including the use of malt, which is the most natural sweetener; 3) over that sugar free these Baci are also without milk and its derivatives and without eggs (although this would not be required!) ….. so ‘vegan’ 4) These Baci are “without” many things but “not without” taste!
Ingredients for about 12-15 Baci di Dama “otherwise sweet“: 100 grams of flour (60 g buckwheat and 40 grams of rice), 50 grams of hazelnuts (or hazelnut flour), 100 grams of apple juice , 3 tablespoons rice malt syrup, 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, 40 grams of dark chocolate 100%, 2 tablespoons of soy milk), a pinch of salt.
Mix the finely chopped hazelnuts until it becomes almost a flour, then prepare apple juice with a juicer (or use a bought unsweetened apple juice). Bring together in a food processor flour (buckwheat, rice and hazelnut), 2 tablespoons rice malt syrup, oil and a pinch of salt. Begin to knead adding slowly the apple juice until it forms a soft ball of dough. I have also helped with a scoop (because the dough was little) to remove the dough from the sides and mix again. Let the dough rest for an hour in a cool place covering it with a cloth.
Meanwhile, crumble or grate the chocolate (100% sugar-free), dissolve in water bath adding two tablespoons of soy milk (or rice milk) and a tablespoon of malt: it will form a thick cream. Roll out the hazelnut dough and extract of round cookies and make round and not very large cookies (thickness of just over half a centimeter)
Bake the cookies at 150 degrees for about 10 minutes, check the cooking taking into account that must remain soft enough because it does not contain butter, and many condiments so tend to dry out easily. Allow to cool and fill with chocolate cream.
Serve with coffee, tea ….. or just as they are, by themselves …..
With this recipe without sugar or milk, participate in the contest “otherwise sweet” to “No Sugar Please” and “Cucinatollerante”
