Preparation:

Biscuit:

  1. Preheat the oven to 100 °C. In a larger bowl, combine all the ingredients for the biscuit and whisk with a mixer for a 1-2 min. The mixture should be smooth and without lumps.

  2. Coat the pan with oil, then sprinkle with flour. Pour the biscuit mixture into the pan. Shake to distribute the mixture evenly, then place in the oven and increase to 200 °C. The oven will heat up as the biscuit bakes and rises evenly.

  3. After 15 minutes, reduce the temperature to 180 °C, and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. * If necessary, turn the pan over in the oven, and if it turns too brown, cover the biscuit with foil. Use a toothpick to poke a few holes in the biscuit to make sure it is baked enough. If the toothpick comes out of the biscuit without crumbs, the biscuit is done. If there is dough on the toothpick, bake for a few more minutes and then repeat the test.


Topping:

  1. Meanwhile, in a medium-sized deeper pan, combine all the topping ingredients (except coconut flour). Gradually heat and stir over medium heat, making sure the chocolate doesn’t burn. When the ingredients have melted, combined and integrated, remove from the stove.


Assembling:

  1. Pour the coconut flour into a deeper bowl. Remove the biscuit from the oven and cut into cubes, approximately 6 × 4 rows, or 24 cubes.


Processing:

  1. While both the biscuit and topping are still warm, dip each cube first in the topping, then in a bowl of coconut flour. Do this at a moderate speed, making sure each tuft is dipped on each side, but also not to absorb too much topping. This balance makes it special!

  2. Arrange the tufts on a tray or in a plastic box, and cover and keep in the refrigerator for up to a few days.


Buon appetito!


NOTE:
  • Keep the dessert covered in a cool place for up to 5-7 days.
