7. 10. 2025

You will need:

  • 1/2 cup ground nuts
  • 1/4 cup of butter
  • 3/4 cup of powdered sugar
  • 2 spoons of cocoa
  • 2 tablespoons of rum
  • 2 tablespoons of milk
  • vanilla biscuits or wafers (Nilla Vanilla waffles are a good choice)

Cream:

  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup of butter
  • 1/4 cup of powdered sugar
  • rum – as needed

Preparation process:

  • First, grind the nuts and mix them with sugar and cocoa.
  • Add rum, milk, and butter, and let it soften at room temperature before processing.
  • Mix everything and make a smooth dough, which you put in the fridge to harden for a few hours.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the cream.
  • Wipe the yolks with powdered sugar and gradually mix in the butter and a little rum.
  • The cream should be beautifully smooth.
  • Once you have everything ready, start forming balls from the dough and roll them in sugar.
  • Press the balls into the mold, making a hole in the center. Then, fill the hole with the prepared cream.
  • Cover the beehive with a wafer and carefully tap it out, depending on the mold type.
  • Store the finished beehives in the refrigerator.
