These White Almond Petit Fours are delicate, bite-sized almond cakes coated in smooth white chocolate or fondant and topped with sliced almonds. Perfect as an elegant dessert or a charming tea-time treat, they combine rich almond flavors with a creamy buttercream center and a sweet, glossy finish.

Ingredients

Scale

Almond Cake

  • 1 box almond cake mix (or homemade almond cake)

Buttercream Filling

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 tablespoon milk (for consistency)

Coating and Topping

  • 1 cup white chocolate or fondant for coating
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the almond cake: Follow the instructions on the box or your homemade almond cake recipe to bake the cake. Once baked, allow the cake to cool completely to ensure it is firm enough to slice without crumbling.
  2. Make the buttercream filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and almond extract, mixing thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Adjust consistency: Add milk slowly, one tablespoon at a time, and continue mixing until the buttercream reaches a thick but spreadable consistency, perfect for filling the petit fours.
  4. Cut and coat the cake squares: Slice the cooled cake into small square pieces. Dip each square into melted white chocolate or roll them entirely in fondant to coat evenly.
  5. Add almond topping: While the coating is still wet, gently press a few slices of almonds on top of each petit four to add a decorative and flavorful touch.
  6. Set the petit fours: Place the coated petit fours on parchment paper and allow them to set at room temperature for at least 1 hour, letting the coating harden completely before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the cake is fully cooled before slicing to maintain clean edges.
  • Use high-quality white chocolate or fondant for the best flavor and smooth coating.
  • Store petit fours in an airtight container at room temperature to preserve freshness.
  • These petit fours can be made a day ahead; just keep them refrigerated and bring to room temperature before serving.
