If up until a few years ago I could not really figure out what&#8217;s there to love about this almond candy, today I&#8217;m absolutely a fan of marzipan. As a result of my great love for marzipan, I began to add it in quite a few cakes and desserts I make, and in general \u2013 desserts with marzipan are much more appealing to me now.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">One of my greatest discoveries in recent years is Mozart chocolate balls. I remember those nostalgic balls from my childhood, and began to really LOVE them on our visit to Italy about a year ago. Nimrod (my spouse) already knows exactly where he can buy only one Mozart chocolate ball, and surprises me with it every time he can.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">These following Mozart brownies are perfect for almond and Mozart lovers. They&#8217;re gluten free and have rich, chocolatey flavor, topped with chocolate and praline whipped cream and of course Mozart for decoration and some gold dust. They have luxurious look and are a great idea for Christmas or New Year&#8217;s dessert.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18675\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18675\" class=\"wp-image-18675\" title=\"Mozart Brownies\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lilcookie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/mozart_brownies2-s.jpg\" alt=\"Mozart Brownies\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-18675\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Natalie Levin<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6091382327871787\" data-ad-slot=\"7832461759\" data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Mozart Brownies<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">20*20 cm square pan<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><u>For almond brownies:<br \/>\n<\/u>200 grams dark chocolate<br \/>\n150 grams butter<br \/>\n150 grams (3\/4 cup) sugar<br \/>\nPinch of salt<br \/>\n3 large eggs<br \/>\n75 grams (3\/4 cup) almond meal<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><u>For chocolate and praline whipped cream:<br \/>\n<\/u>100 grams dark chocolate<br \/>\n50 grams praline paste<br \/>\n250 grams (1 cup) cold whipping cream<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><u>For decoration<\/u><u>:<br \/>\n<\/u>4-5 Mozart chocolate balls<br \/>\nEdible gold dust<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18678\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18678\" class=\"wp-image-18678\" title=\"Mozart Brownies\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lilcookie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/mozart_brownies5-s.jpg\" alt=\"Mozart Brownies\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-18678\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Natalie Levin<\/p><\/div>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Preparation<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ol dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Brownies: preheat oven to 170c degrees and grease the pan.<\/li>\n<li>Chop the chocolate and put in a bowl.
