60 min.
Ingredients
  • butter for greasing the molds
  • flour for dusting the molds
  • 1 2/3 cups flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 cup crème fraîche
  • 3-4 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 cup hazelnut flour
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 250 g butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • wafer cones for ice cream
  • milk chocolate
Preparation
  1. Grease the molds and dust them with flour, shaking off the excess.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients on a piece of parchment or wax paper and transfer to a bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine crème fraîche with almond extract. To make your own crème fraîche, mix 250 g of cream (20%) with 2 tbsp of yogurt (2.5%) at room temperature and let it sit for 24 hours.
  4. Beat the butter with the sugar, then add the eggs one at a time while mixing continuously. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients and liquid ingredients alternately.
  5. Fill each mold with the batter, not to the top, and place them in a baking tray. Bake at 180 degrees for 30 minutes.
  6. Once cooled, trim the tops of the wafer cones, fill them with melted chocolate, and let it set. Decorate with green fondant to resemble Christmas trees, adding stars and balls for ornaments.
