Directions

The Cookies

  1. 1

    Chop the spices consisting of: 1 teaspoon of nutmeg, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of cloves, 1 teaspoon of anise.

    If you are using the packaged piston, skip this step.

  2. 2

    Toast the spices over medium heat for a couple of minutes.

  3. 3

    In a bowl, add the hot water with ammonia and set aside.

  4. 4

    In a second larger bowl, sift the almond, coconut, flaxseed and psyllium husk powder (finely chopped) together with the cocoa.

  5. 5

    Now add the spices, egg, erythritol and orange zest.

  6. 6

    Start kneading by adding the water previously set aside from time to time. If the dough is too dry, add another 20-30ml of hot water.

  7. 7

    Once the dough becomes compact, roll it out on baking paper leaving a thickness of about 1cm.

    Cut the dough to form diamonds (the typical shape of mostaccioli), or round if it is easier for you.

  8. 8

    Bake in a static oven (preheated) at 350° (180° celsius) for about 12 minutes.

  9. 9

    Let the mostaccioli cool completely before covering them with chocolate.

The icing

  1. 1

    Melt the cocoa mass with the butter and the coconut oil in a microwave oven or in a double boiler.

  2. 2

    Now add the erythritol and the stevia drops (to taste). Mix until a homogeneous glaze is formed.

  3. 3

    Soak the cookies (cooled) in the icing to cover them completely.

  4. 4

    Set the mostaccioli aside in a cool place for about 2 hours, or until the glaze has completely solidified.
