👨🍳 How to Make It (Step-by-step)
Step 1: Boil the almonds
Place almonds in boiling water for 3 minutes to loosen the skins.
💡 Use a slotted spoon to remove them easily.
Step 2: Peel the almonds
Gently squeeze each almond — the skin should slide right off.
💡 Dry them thoroughly before the next step.
Step 3: Toast the almonds
Lightly toast the peeled almonds in a dry pan for 5 minutes.
💡 Chop them roughly if you like more texture.
Step 4: Warm the condensed milk
In a small saucepan, gently heat the sweetened condensed milk.
💡 Stir continuously to avoid burning.
Step 5: Add the chocolate
Break the dark chocolate into pieces and add to the warm milk.
💡 Let it sit for 1 minute, then stir until melted.
Step 6: Add butter for richness
Stir in the butter until the mixture becomes glossy and smooth.
💡 Use unsalted butter to control the sweetness.
Step 7: Mix in the almonds
Add toasted almonds into the chocolate base and combine well.
💡 Work quickly — it thickens as it cools.
Step 8: Shape the log
Pour the mixture onto parchment paper and shape into a tight log.
💡 Twist the ends to hold the shape.
Step 9: Chill to set
Let it cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for 2–3 hours.
