   Finely grate the chocolate. Mix flour, almonds, icing sugar, 1 tablespoon of cocoa, clove powder and chocolate. Add butter in flakes and 2 tablespoons of cream, first with the dough hooks of the hand mixer, then quickly knead with your hands to a smooth dough. Form two rolls (approx. 2 cm Ø) from the dough, chill for approx. 30 minutes. Cut each roll into approx. 30 slices.

   Form into balls with cool fingers and place on 2 baking trays lined with baking paper. Use a wooden spoon handle to press a depression in the middle of each. Bake one after the other in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for 15-18 minutes. Mix sugar, vanillin sugar and 1/2 tablespoon cocoa. Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the chocolate balls while still warm. Let it cool down. Chop the chocolate coating and melt with 1 tablespoon of cream over a warm water bath. Put into a small piping bag. Fill the depressions in the biscuits with the chocolate.
