- 12 egg whites
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 16 oz ground almonds/almond flour about 4 cups
- 8 oz dark chocolate, chopped about 2 cups (you can sub in semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
Pastry:
- 12 egg yolks
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 c olive oil you can also use a mild oil
- 3 1/4 c flour plus more or kneading
- 3-4 tsp lemon zest (the zest of 1-2 lemons)
- cooking spray or Crisco (vegetable shortening)

Instructions
-
Crack your eggs (use this trick!) and separate the whites from the yolks (do it this way…it’s easy). Set the yolks aside.
-
In the bowl of an electric mixer; add the egg whites and beat until white and frothy (they will pick up a bit of volume); while the mixer is on, sprinkle in the 1/2 cup sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
-
Add the grated chocolate and the almonds (you can mix these two together if you like) and gently fold into the egg white mixture (be careful not to deflate the mixture).
