Almond Mushrooms

01Method

1. 1

   Pour boiling water over the almonds and allow them to soak briefly.

2. 2

   Remove the skin from the softened almonds, pat dry using paper towels, then finely grind them and combine with the powdered sugar and egg white.

3. 3

   Work the mixture until you achieve a light, slightly sticky dough that holds together (if needed, add more ingredients while maintaining equal proportions of almonds and sugar).

4. 4

   Split the dough in half and blend cocoa into one portion. Shape both white and brown pieces into small balls, form stems and caps separately, then attach them to create mushroom shapes.
