Can I make these dragon eggs without rum?

Yes, the recipe states rum is optional, so you can simply omit it without needing a substitute for the flavor or texture.

How do I get the dragon egg shape?

After freezing the batter for about an hour, use a cookie scoop or your hands to take dollops of the truffle batter and roll them into distinct egg shapes.

What's the best way to attach the almond scales?

Gently press sliced almonds onto the freshly rolled truffle eggs to create a scale-like effect. It takes a little bit of time, but the visual result is phenomenal.

How should I store these House Targaryen Dragon Eggs?

Keep these finished dragon eggs in the fridge until you are ready to serve them to maintain their shape and texture.

What kind of dates should I use for this recipe?

The recipe specifically calls for 10 medjool dates, pitted, which provide a soft, caramel-like base for the truffle batter.
