INGREDIENTS
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Slice the candied orange, divide the walnuts in half and do the same with the pistachios.
  2. Crush the chocolate and place 150g in a bowl on a double boiler. Place it on the stove and completely melt the chocolate. Remove from the heat and add the remaining not melted chocolate, stirring until it melts too. Keep stirring until it is not hot anymore.
  3. Use a muffin tin as a mould if you wish to have equal sized mendicants (or use a tray covered with parchment paper) if you prefer to use the muffin tins, pour a tablespoon chocolate in the mould. Crash the tins on the countertop to even out the layer. Otherwise, pour a tablespoon on the parchment paper and layer it with the spoon to create a 5 cm wide disk
  4. Decorate the chocolate disks when it is still soft, placing the candied orange, the walnut, an almond, some chunks of pistachio and a candied cherry on top. You should come out with 12 disks. Let them cool down completely (you can also place them in the fridge, so that the chocolate remains shiny)
  5. Crash the moulds on the counter again until they detach (if they don’t, the chocolate is not hard enough yet). Serve them with coffee or any other drink you prefer.
