Delicate pastries made from dark chocolate are a true delight for dessert lovers. This recipe originates from Mexican cuisine, known for its deep respect for chocolate. In Mexico, cocoa was used by the ancient Aztecs, who considered it food of the gods. The pastries have a fine balance of dark chocolate bitterness and the tenderness of airy dough, creating a unique flavor. Their main secret is the liquid center that flows smoothly when cut, offering a rich chocolate aroma. Due to their elegance and sophistication, they are perfect for both festive dinners and cozy evenings with a cup of aromatic coffee. These pastries are not just a dessert but a small gastronomic celebration capable of providing moments of true pleasure.
