Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine hazelnuts and almond flour. In another bowl, whisk egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add in erythritol and cinnamon.

Chef’s Insight

To maximize the flavor of the Brazilian coffee, opt for freshly brewed coffee instead of instant coffee granules.
