Ingredients
- Shortbread Cookies
- Chopped Walnuts
- Dark Chocolate
- Unsalted Butter
- Powdered Sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Cookie Base: Start by crushing the shortbread cookies into fine crumbs. You can do this by placing them in a zip-lock bag and rolling with a rolling pin or using a food processor.
- Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine the crushed cookies, chopped walnuts, and powdered sugar. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and add it to the mixture, stirring until well combined. The mixture should be slightly sticky.
- Shape the Pralinen: Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, about the size of a walnut. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for about 20-30 minutes until firm.
- Melt the Chocolate: While the pralinen are chilling, melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler. Stir until smooth and glossy.
- Coat the Pralinen: Remove the chilled pralinen from the refrigerator. Using a fork, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing them back on the parchment paper.
- Chill Again: Once all pralinen are coated, place them back in the refrigerator for another 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate has hardened, your 'Keks Walnuss Pralinen' are ready to be enjoyed! Serve them on a lovely platter or package them as gifts.
