NIPPLES OF VENUS (CAPEZZOLI DI VENERE)
I first learned of these confections through the famous scene of the same name in the movie Amadeus. Fast forward 30-plus years later, and inspired by a viewer's request, I finally learned that these were in fact real, and very delicious, thanks in part to the star of the show, chestnuts. Serve these as a sexy snack during a Valentine's viewing of the corresponding film.

Steps:
- Cream sugar and butter together with a spatula until light and creamy. Set aside.
- Heat an inch of water in a pot set over low heat. Melt dark chocolate in a heat-proof bowl placed over the pot. Stir with a small spatula.
- Place chestnuts in a food processor; pulse on and off until very finely ground. Add chestnuts to the sugar-butter mixture and stir until combined. Add salt, cayenne pepper, vanilla extract, and brandy. Stir well. Pour in the melted chocolate and mix again until filling is well blended.
- Scoop filling onto a silicone-lined baking sheet and smooth out if necessary. Cover the balls in plastic wrap and refrigerate while you prepare the white chocolate coating.
- Reserve about 20% of the white chocolate to stir in later. Melt the rest in a heat-proof bowl over a pot of simmering water until an instant-read thermometer inserted in to the chocolate reads 105 degree F (41 degrees C). Add the reserved white chocolate and stir until melted.
- Place 1 chocolate truffle on a fork and hold it up above the white chocolate coating. Spoon on the white chocolate until ball is well coated. Use another fork to push the truffle onto a lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining truffles and coating. Place the bowl of coating back over hot water if it chocolate starts to harden.
- Mix confectioners' sugar with enough milk to make a very thick paste that will hold together well. Dye it pink with red food coloring. Transfer into a piping bag and pipe a small dot on top of each truffle. Serve truffles in paper candy cups.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
- Whisk the almond flour, granulated sugar and salt in a large bowl to combine. Beat the egg whites in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 1 minute 30 seconds. Add the almond extract and beat to combine. Fold the egg whites into the dry ingredients using a rubber spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
- Put the confectioners' sugar in a small bowl. Using a 1-tablespoon scoop, portion the dough and roll into balls. Toss each ball in the confectioners' sugar, coating thoroughly. Arrange the balls 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until golden brown and the tops crack, 23 to 25 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

- 2. Pistachio & Almond Filling: Use a food processor, and process the pistachios with the sugar until finely ground. Gradually add the almond paste pieces and process until it is well combined. Now you will want to add the cherry juice (or kirsch) and the vanilla extract and process until it is all combined. Expect it to be fairly thick... Set aside at room temperature until needed.
- 3. Chocolate Glaze: Microwave: in a small deep dish, carefully melt the bittersweet chocolate and the oil. Mix together until smooth.
- 4. Making Cookies: Line your baking sheet with parchment and preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Keep the ball of dough you are not using in the fridge until you are ready for it. Working quickly, place the dough on top of lightly floured parchment paper and roll out with a floured rolling pin to a 1⁄8" - 1/4" thickness. With a 3⁄4" round cookie cutter, cut out 18 cookies. Repeat with remaining dough. Place cookies 1" apart and bake for 6 - 8 minutes (watch carefully, they burn quickly). Cool completely on rack before filling.
- 5. Assembling the Cookie: Spoon 1 tsp of filling onto 18 cookies and then top with the remaining cookie. Gently press cookies together to sandwich them. Lastly dip half of each cookie into the chocolate glaze; hold the cookie over the bowl of chocolate, once the excess chocolate has dripped off place on a cookie rack to harden.
