Instructions

  • With a hand mixer or stand mixer, mix the almond flour with 1½ cups (450 grams) of honey in a large bowl until it is a smooth dough.
  • Put the egg whites in a heavy-bottomed pan and add the dough.
  • Heat slowly, on low heat until soft, warm and slightly toasted.
  • Turn off the heat and let it cool down.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C)
  • Make small balls of the dough or roll it into strands and make (increasingly smaller) circles to make a "kransekage tower" later. Place them on a baking tray covered with baking paper.
  • Bake the kransekage in about 6 minutes until light brown. Keep a close eye on it because it burns quickly.
  • For the frosting, place the ½ cup (150 grams) of honey in a saucepan and heat until fizzing. Let it caramelize for a few minutes (don't let it burn!).
  • Add the vanilla.
  • Turn off the heat and add the cocoa butter. Stir it in until the butter is completely melted.
  • You can now use this frosting to make the rings stick together into a tower or to decorate the balls.*

Notes

*In the picture, a little bit of unsweetened cocoa powder was added to the frosting - this is not SCD compliant. This is a very large recipe - you can easily make half the recipe if you like.
