How to Make Almond Snowballs

  1. Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Line baking trays with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor, combine 200g ground almonds and process until a fine paste forms (this will take about 2-3 minutes, using short bursts to avoid overheating).
  3. Add 150g pure icing sugar and 1 large egg white to the food processor. Process until a smooth, pliable dough forms.
  4. Using a teaspoon, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls.
  5. Sift 100g of icing sugar into a shallow dish.
  6. Gently roll each ball in the sifted icing sugar to coat thickly.
  7. Place the coated balls onto the prepared baking trays, leaving some space between each snowball.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the snowballs have puffed slightly.
  9. Let the Almond Snowballs cool completely on the baking trays before transferring them to an airtight container for storage.
