To prepare these delicious peach shells, we will start by beating the eggs with sugar and vanilla sugar, gradually adding the grated lemon zest, which will provide a fresh scent and a special flavor. Next, we will incorporate the oil, alternating with the flour, which has been previously mixed with the baking powder. The amount of flour can vary between 600 g and 700 g, depending on the size of the eggs, so it is good to adjust according to the consistency of the dough.
Once the dough is well homogenized, we will start kneading it until it becomes elastic and easy to shape. From this dough, we form small balls of about 6-7 g each, which we place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. It is important to leave a distance of 2-3 cm between the balls to allow them to expand during baking. After placing all the balls, we will gently press them to prevent excessive rising in height. They are baked in a preheated oven at 160-170 degrees Celsius for about 15-20 minutes, or until they start changing color, becoming golden at the edges.
Once the peach shells are ready, using the tip of a knife, we will hollow out the middle of them to create a space where we will add the delicious filling. This is prepared from the breadcrumbs resulting from hollowing out the shells, mixed with ground nuts, cocoa, sugar, and vanilla sugar. If you want a more intense flavor, you can lightly toast the nuts before grinding them. After the dry ingredients are well mixed, add the remaining ingredients and knead the filling until it becomes consistent, but not too soft, so that it is easy to use for filling the shells.
For decoration, we prepare three small containers, in which we put 3-4 tablespoons of water or rum, and in one of them, we add 5-6 tablespoons of liquid, mixing with a little food coloring. In the container with more liquid, we will add yellow color. The filled balls, two at a time, will be colored using small brushes, first with yellow, then with a little green and red, and finally, they will be rolled in granulated sugar for a shiny appearance and a sweet taste. These peach shells will become a highly appreciated dessert at any festive meal or gathering with friends. Enjoy your meal!
