Preparation Time: 30 minutes Cooling Time: 2 hours Total Time: 2 hours 30 minutes Number of Servings: Approximately 20-25 candies Ingredients For Hazelnut and Coffee Fondants: *Filling:* - 1-2 g gelatin granules - 200 g powdered sugar - 2 tablespoons peanut butter - 1 tablespoon honey - 1 cube of butter (approx. 20 g) *Glaze:* - 2 g gelatin granules - 1 cube of butter (approx. 20 g) - 1 coffee essence - 1 tablespoon honey - 200 g powdered sugar For Pink Fondants with Walnut and Roses: *Filling:* - 200 g ground walnuts - 200 g powdered sugar - 50 g butter (approx. 1/4 cup) - 2 tablespoons honey - 1 essence of rose water (or rose jam, as preferred) - 1-2 g gelatin granules *Glaze:* - 3-4 tablespoons honey - 2 cubes of butter (approx. 40 g) - 150-200 g powdered sugar - A little red food coloring - 2 g gelatin granules Preparation Method Hazelnut and Coffee Fondants 1. Preparing the filling: Start by hydrating the gelatin in a tablespoon of water. Let it sit for a few minutes, then gently heat the mixture over low heat until it completely dissolves. 2. Cooking the mixture: Add honey to the gelatin mixture and continue to stir. Then, gradually add the powdered sugar while stirring continuously. Continue this process until the mixture thickens. 3. Incorporating the peanut butter: Once you have a smooth paste, add the peanut butter. Mix well until fully incorporated. 4. Cooling the mixture: Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let it cool at room temperature for about 2 hours. During this time, the mixture will firm up. 5. Forming the balls: Moisten your hands with a little butter and form balls from the cooled mixture, working quickly as they will soften at room temperature. 6. Preparing the glaze: Hydrate the gelatin again in a tablespoon of water. Heat the mixture over low heat, add honey, butter, and coffee essence. Once the butter has melted, gradually add the powdered sugar while stirring continuously until you obtain a thick paste. 7. Coating the fondants: Remove the fondant balls from the fridge and dip them in the glaze using a teaspoon. Place them on a tray lined with parchment paper. 8. Final cooling: Leave them to cool until the glaze has hardened. Then, you can place them in special wrappers and store them in boxes in a cool place. Pink Fondants with Walnut and Roses 1. Preparing the filling: Start by hydrating the gelatin in a tablespoon of water. Cream the butter with the powdered sugar until fluffy. 2. Incorporating the ingredients: Then add the ground walnuts, honey, and rose water essence (or rose jam). Mix well until you achieve a smooth paste. 3. Cooling the mixture: Place the paste in a bowl covered with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 2 hours. 4. Forming the balls: Moisten your hands with butter and form balls from the cooled paste. Place them on a tray and transfer them back to the refrigerator to firm up. 5. Preparing the glaze: Hydrate the gelatin and heat it as you did for the coffee fondants. Add honey, butter, and red food coloring, stirring continuously. Start adding the powdered sugar gradually until you achieve a thick yet fluid consistency. 6. Coating the fondants: Remove the fondant balls from the fridge and dip them in the glaze, placing them again on a tray lined with parchment paper. 7. Final cooling: Leave them to cool for 10 minutes, then carefully remove them and place them in special wrappers. Practical Tips - Peanut butter: You can also use other types of nut butters, such as almond or cashew, to vary the flavor. - Colorants: If you want to achieve different shades, you can experiment with food colorings, but make sure to use small amounts so as not to alter the glaze's consistency. - Store-bought glaze: If you don't want to complicate yourself with making the glaze, you can use Dr. Oetker's white sugar glaze, adding the desired coloring. - Storing the fondants: These candies store very well in airtight containers in a cool place, so you can make them a few days before serving.
