A LATE NIGHT SWEET TREAT

Chocolate Hazelnut Amaretti

Amaretti biscuits are an Italian classic and one of my favourite little sweet treats to have with a coffee or when I’m craving something sweet after dinner.​

I wanted to create my own healthier take that satisfies the late-night sweet craving. Instead of almonds, I use pumpkin seeds, which give them that beautiful nutty texture while being naturally rich in magnesium. ​They’re crunchy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, and finished with our Golden Groves x Pana Organic Smooth Hazelnut Chocolate Spread.

Simple ingredients, genuinely delicious and exactly what I make when the late-night sweet craving hits.

TIME — 15 minutes

  • Ingredients

    • 1 ¼ cup pumpkin seeds
    • ¼ cup maple syrup
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract 
    • 2 tbsp Golden Groves EVOO
    • Pinch of flaky sea salt
    • Golden Groves x Pana Organic Smooth Hazelnut Chocolate Spread

  • Method

    1. Preheat your oven to 180°C.
    2. Add the pumpkin seeds to a blender or food processor and blend until finely ground, resembling an almond meal consistency. 
    3. Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, pinch of salt and Golden Groves Extra Virgin Olive Oil. 
    4. Mix until a soft dough forms.
    5. Roll the mixture into small amaretti-sized balls and place on a lined baking tray. Gently flatten each one and press your thumb into the centre to create a small well.
    6. Bake for 14 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges.
    7. As soon as they come out of the oven, gently press the centre of each biscuit again to redefine the well. Allow them to cool completely.
    8. Once cooled, spoon approximately half a teaspoon of the Pana x Golden Groves Smooth Hazelnut Chocolate Spread into the centre of each biscuit.
