Ingredients
- 4 egg whites
- 2/3 cup almond meal
- 100g unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup icing sugar mixture
- 1/2 cup plain flour
- 100g white chocolate, grated
- halved roasted hazelnuts to decorate
- Ganache
- 1/3 cup thickened cream
- 1 x 180g block white chocolate, chopped
Method1 Grease two x 12-hole mini muffin pans (1 1/2-tablespoon capacity).
2 Whisk egg whites in a medium bowl until foamy. Add almond meal, butter, icing sugar and flour; whisk to combine. Stir in grated chocolate. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of mixture into each pan-hole.
3 Cook in a moderately hot oven, 190°C, for about 15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Stand friands in pans for 5 minutes; turn onto a wire rack to cool.
4 To make the ganache, combine cream and chocolate in a small pan. Stir over a low heat until chocolate is melted and mixture is combined. Stand at room temperature until a spreadable consistency.
5 Spread Ganache over tops of friands; decorate with pink chocolate swirls.
