Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, sift together the almond flour, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder.

  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg whites, then add the vanilla extract.
  5. Pipe the batter onto the prepared baking sheets in small circles and let them sit for about 30 minutes to form a skin.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes until set and let cool.
Ganache Preparation
  1. For the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until steaming.
  2. Pour it over the semisweet chocolate in a bowl, let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth.
Assembly
