Let’s get into the recipe!
Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make about 10-12 Florentines:
- 100g sliced almonds
- 50g Turtle Power Granola Nuts & Seeds
- 100g dark chocolate (melted)
- 70g cream (liquid)
- 50g honey
- 90g sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- In a saucepan, combine sugar, honey, and cream over low heat. Stir gently until the mixture thickens and turns golden (about 5 minutes). Use a thermometer if you have one, heating until it reaches 118°C.
- Remove from heat and stir in sliced almonds and Turtle Power Granola Nuts & Seeds. Mix until evenly coated.
- Spoon the mixture into silicone molds. If you don’t have molds, place small spoonfuls onto a baking sheet lined with oiled parchment paper.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden and bubbling. Let cool before removing from molds or tray.
- Melt the chocolate and pour a thin layer into the base of the molds (or onto parchment).
- Place each almond cluster on top of the chocolate layer and gently press.
- Chill in the fridge until firm, then unmold and enjoy!
