Prep time: 90 min
Cook time: 90 min
Total time: 90 min
Yield: 12
Ingredients: 350 g plain flour; 150 g powdered sugar; 180 g butter; 70 g ground nuts; 1 whole egg; 1 yolk; 1 tablespoon cocoa; 1 boiled sweetened condensed milk (Salko); 250 g butter; 200 g cooking chocolate; 50 g hardened fat (e.g., Iva)

Preparation procedure

Dough preparation: In a bowl, mix the flour, powdered sugar, cocoa and ground nuts. Add the butter, egg and yolk and work into a smooth dough. Wrap it in cling film and let rest for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight.
Baking the tubes: Roll the dough into a thin sheet and cut out circles, which you wrap around metal tube molds. Bake in an oven preheated to 165 °C for about 10 minutes. After baking, let the tubes cool slightly and then carefully remove them from the molds.
Caramel cream: Let the boiled Salko cool and then whip it with the butter into a fine, smooth cream. If you want a stronger flavor, you can add a drop of rum.
Chocolate coating: Melt the chocolate together with the hardened fat in a double boiler until a glossy smooth mixture forms.
Finishing: Fill the tubes with caramel cream using a pastry bag and dip both ends into the chocolate coating. Let them set in a cool place.
