Walnut and coffee praline
Praline is a great way to dress up dessert, but even a simple scoop of vanilla ice-cream with a good sprinkling of crunchy praline is not so simple any more.
Ingredients
50g walnuts
300g castor sugar
2 tbsp coffee beans
Method
1. Preheat oven to 180C fan-forced or 200C conventional.
2. Spread the walnuts on a baking tray and roast for five minutes, then wrap in a tea towel and rub off the skins and chop roughly.
3. Add the sugar to a small pot and cook to a medium-coloured caramel, shaking the pan regularly to cook evenly. Meanwhile, warm the walnuts and coffee beans on a baking tray for one minute and add to the caramel, stirring to evenly coat the nuts. Tip the hot caramel onto baking paper and allow to cool.
4. Crush the praline in a mortar and pestle. Store in an airtight container.
