And There you go ! It's now ready to taste! Have a good meal 😋

Wait..

As a bonus, why not add a frosting to our mini-cakes? 😉

To make a Ferrero rocher glaze, melt 100g of white chocolate with 10g of oil.
Mix everything.
Add some Matcha depending on the color and taste you want. Be careful not to overdo it, the chocolate may lose its flavor. ☝️
Then add pistachio or almond pieces to the chocolate mixture.
Dip the cold mini cake in the icing and place the mini cake on a wire rack until the icing has cooled and hardened.

 

And There you go ! Now all you have to do is enjoy 👍
