Tangerine Chocolate Truffle Balls with Tangerine Sauce

Preheat the oven to 350°F (medium-high)

Grease eight small baking dishes with butter. Reserve

Prepare the dough: In a stand mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form

Add the all-purpose flour and beat until firm peaks form

Beat in the egg yolks until well combined. Reserve

In a medium bowl, combine the wheat flour, dark chocolate chips, and baking powder

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the reserved dough mixture, mixing with a spatula

Distribute the dough among the prepared baking dishes and arrange them on a baking sheet

Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each ball comes out clean

Let cool, then unmold onto a tray and reserve

Prepare the sauce: In a medium saucepan, bring the tangerine juice to a boil over high heat

Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly

Dissolve the cornstarch in water, then add to the saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened further (about 5 minutes)

Let cool

Distribute half of the sauce among eight serving dishes, then place a truffle ball on top of each

Garnish with thin slices of candied tangerine
