Nuci umplute cu crema de ciocolata / Walnut shaped cookies

De cand mi-am luat ustensila speciala pentru facut nuci umplute am dezvoltat un fel de obsesie pentru acest desert :)))) Mi se par suuuuper dragalase si gustoase, si am facut, dupa varianta keto, si cea „pentru oameni normali”, cum zice iubitul meu :))))) Nuci umplute cu crema de ciocolata. Reteta Video AICI.

Aluat coji:

• 250g faina alba
• 1 ou
• 100g unt
• 80g indulcitor Green Sugar
• 1 praf de sare
• 1/2 lgt extract de vanilie

Umplutura:

• 100g ciocolata fara zahar
• 50g unt
• 60g nuci macinate
• 1 lgt rom sau esenta de rom

Amestecam toate ingredientele pentru aluat: fie cu robotul pentru bucatarie, fie cu ustensila pt aluat, fie cu degetele :) Pare nisipos la inceput, dar framantand vom obtine un aluat neted, putin moale si maleabil. (In functie de faina folosita, va mai fi nevoie de inca 1 ou sau vreo 2-3 lg de apa, pana aluatul se leaga.)

Modelam bilute de 4-5g pe care le punem in forma unsa cu unt (doar la prima tura), inchidem forma si o asezam pe aragaz direct pe flacara.

Le gatim pana se rumenesc frumos ca in imagine, intorcand forma pe ambele parti. Fiti cu ochii pe ele sa nu se extra rumeneasca :)

Repetam pana terminam aluatul. Inlaturam cu o foarfeca de bucatarie (mult mai usor decat cu un cutit) excesul de pe marginea cojilor, daca e cazul, si maruntim resturile pentru a le adauga in crema. Nu risipim nimic :)

Pentru crema amestecam pe foc intr-o craticioara nonaderenta untul si ciocolata pana se topesc, apoi adaugam nuca macinata, romul, resturile de la coji maruntite si amestecam bine.

Daca e prea fluida crema o introducem la rece pana devine suficient de ferma. Umplem cojile cu crema de ciocolata, unim cate 2 jumatati si gata. Sunt mai bune dupa cateva ore, pentru ca astfel cojile se inmoaie putin de la crema. Enjoy! :)

Note:

• Puteti folosi fie o forma ca a mea (am luat-o de aici), fie un aparat electric (gasiti aici); eu am fost foarte multumita de forma si nici nu ocupa mult loc :)
• Cel mai bine e sa faceti probe cu forma voastra pentru a vedea care e greutatea care face cojile perfecte, adica lasa cel mai putin exces pe margine, la mine a fost de 4-5g.

LATER EDIT: Mi-am luat pana la urma acest aparat pentru nuci, e foarte bun, se face foarte repede, cate 24 de jumatati o data, in aprox 2 minute. Iata cum arata nucile facute la el:

ENGLISH VERSION

Since I got my walnut cookie mold I became obsessed with this dessert :)) They are just soooo cute and tasty and after making the keto version, I also prepared the one for „normal people”, like my babe likes to joke :))))) Walnut shaped cookies with chocolate filling.

Crust:

• 250 g plain flour
• 1 egg
• 100 g butter
• 80 g stevia erythirtol
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Filling:

• 80 g sugar free chocolate
• 50 g butter
• 60 g ground walnuts
• 1 tsp rum or rum essence

Mix all the ingredients for the dough using your hand, a dough tool or a food processor :) It may seem too dry in the beginning, but kneading well you’ll get a smooth, soft, easy to mold texture.

Form tiny 4-5 g balls and place them in the mold that has been greased with butter (only for the first round). Close the mold and cook on the stove until golden brown, like in the photos above, flipping them on both sides. Keep an eye on them not to burn :)

Repeat until you finish the dough. Using a clean kitchen scissors remove the excess dough on the sides (much easier than with a knife). Grind the excess to add in the filling, we don’t waste anything :)

For the filling melt the butter and chocolate in a nonstick saucepan over low heat, the add the ground walnuts, rum and leftover grind crust. If too fluid, chill until more firm.

Fill the nutshells with this cream, then unite 2 halves. They are even better after a coupe of hours, because the filling makes the crust more moist :) Enjoy! :)

Notes:

• You can use a metal mold or a special electric cookie maker, I am very please with my mold, it’s tiny and takes up little space :)
• It’s best to test the ideal amount of dough that makes the perfect shape for you mold, mine was 4-5g.
