Almond Snowballs image

These are a great sweet treat to serve with coffee. They are very simple to make and only have 3 ingredients. You can serve them as is or in small paper patty cases. I usually make a double batch. They keep well in an airtight container- though dont last more than a few days in my home! As a bonus this recipe is also gluten free as it has no flours- just ensure you use pure icing sugar in the recipe.

Time 30m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup ground almonds (measure 1 cup from ground almonds or almond meal)
3/4 cup icing sugar, plus extra to dust (confectioners sugar)
1 egg white

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 160°C ( 325°F ).
  • Process ground almons in a food processor until a paste forms. This shoud take a couple of minutes. Use shorter bursts on the processor until completed.
  • Add icing sugar and eggwhite and process until combined and smooth consistency.
  • Roll 2 teaspoons of mixture at a time into balls. Then roll each ball into sifted icing sugar to coat thickly. (I make mine on the small side- will fit into a chocolate paper/foil wrapper after being cooked. You can make larger ones if you wish).
  • Place on baking trays lined with baking paper and bake for 10 minutes. They will puff up as they cook.
  • Cool on trays and then store in airtight containers.
