Smoked almond and chocolate brittle
The Spanish particularly love cooking with almonds, chocolate and things that are smoked - this is our take on those ingredients as a dessert.
Ingredients
200g smoked almonds
500g caster sugar
100ml water
25ml cream
100g dark chocolate
Method
Roughly chop half the nuts. Place sugar and water in a saucepan and stir to dissolve. Brush down sides of saucepan with a wet pastry brush as needed to dissolve residual sugar and prevent crystallisation. Boil until sugar is the colour of golden syrup. Add cream and combine, stir through all the nuts, pour mixture onto a greased baking tray and allow to cool. Break into pieces. Place on a cooling rack over a tray. Melt chocolate and drizzle over brittle. Once the chocolate has set, serve with coffee, ice-cream or both.
