"Baci di dama" are traditional biscuits from Italy – from Piedmont to be precise. They are made up of two almond or hazelnut biscuits glued together with melted chocolate – they are meant to resemble two lips coming together for a kiss. Hence the name – lady's kisses. They are delicious and very easy to make. The only thing you will need for these biscuits is patience. The balls have to be small and equal in size so that they bake evenly and not only taste delicious but also look beautiful. They taste delicious with coffee or hot chocolate, or can simply be enjoyed on their own. Once you've tried one, you won't be able to stop.

Dough

Place the butter in a bowl, add the icing sugar and salt, beat using the whisk on a mixer until light and creamy. Mix in the egg yolks and nuts. Sieve in the flour and cocoa, mix quickly to form a soft dough – do not knead.

Shape the biscuits

Shape the dough into rolls the width of your finger, cut into approx. 1 cm pieces and shape into hazelnut-sized balls. Place the dough balls on two baking trays lined with baking paper.

Bake

Approx. 12 mins. in an oven preheated to 180 °C (convection). Remove from the oven, leave the biscuits to cool on a rack.

Fill

Place the chocolate in a thin-sided bowl and suspend over a gently simmering bain-marie, ensuring that the bowl does not touch the water. Melt the chocolate and stir until smooth, allow to cool slightly. Spread the chocolate over half of the biscuits, top with the remaining biscuits.

Good to know
Note: Instead of ground hazelnuts, you can also use ground almonds.
