Description
These little espresso chocolate confections are an absolute highlight during the Christmas season! I make them every year and they are always devoured in no time at all. The intense espresso flavor harmonizes perfectly with the dark chocolate. The chocolate espresso beans inside give the confectionery an extra kick. The preparation is a bit more complex, but it's worth it! Perfect as a small gift from the kitchen or simply for snacking yourself. If you don't like it quite so intense, you can also use whole milk couverture. The little balls are simply irresistible!

Mix dry ingredients
Put 50 g icing sugar, 1 pack. vanilla sugar, 125 g cornstarch, 40 g flour, 10 g cocoa, ½ tsp cinnamon, 1 pinch of cardamom and 1 tsp espresso powder (instant) into the mixing bowl and mix for 15 sec./speed 4.
Prepare dough
Add 125 g cold butter in pieces and knead for 2 min./kneading level to a smooth dough.
Shape dough
Remove the dough from the mixing bowl and form a ball with your hands. Preheat the oven to 175°C top/bottom heat (150°C convection). Line two baking sheets with baking paper. Form hazelnut-sized pieces from the dough, roll in 1 chocolate-espresso bean each (approx. 80 pieces) and spread on the baking sheets with some distance.
Bake
Bake the sheets one after the other in the preheated oven for 7–8 minutes. Remove and let cool briefly on the sheet.
Melt couverture
Break 100 g dark chocolate couverture into pieces and place in the mixing bowl. Melt for 3 min./50°C/speed 2.
Decorate
Fill the melted couverture into a disposable piping bag and pull in strips over the espresso chocolates. Let dry and dust with 3–4 tbsp cocoa.
