• 50 g sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 pinch salt
• Zest of 1 orange

For the truffle filling

• 200 g dark chocolate

Step-by-step preparation

1. In a large bowl, mix the flour, butter, sugar, egg, salt and orange zest until the dough is well combined.
2. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least an hour.
3. After an hour, preheat the oven to 180 °C.
4. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut it into rectangles of the size you want.
5. Place the rectangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 10–15 minutes, until golden on top.
6. Meanwhile, make the truffle: heat the cream in a saucepan over medium-high heat until hot.
7. Add the chopped dark chocolate and butter and stir until the chocolate has completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
8. Let the truffle mixture cool for a few minutes.
9. Once the pastry rectangles are ready, cut a small opening in one end of each.
10. Fill each pastry with the truffle mixture using a piping bag.
11. Serve the orange and truffle teresitas and enjoy.
