Panforte

By Abigail Donnelly
Makes 4
Easy
20 minutes
30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 100 g pistachios, shelled and roughly chopped
  • 100 g flaked almonds, roughly chopped
  • 200 g dried apricots, roughly chopped
  • 100 g flour
  • 2 t ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 t ground allspice
  • 1/4 t ground nutmeg
  • 90 g white chocolate, chopped, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 55 g caster sugar
  • Butter, for greasing

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the nuts, apricots, flour and spices and mix well.

Melt the chocolate, honey and sugar in a saucepan over a high heat until it reaches 116°C on a sugar thermometer.

Pour the chocolate mixture into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Work the mixture with your hands to form a thick mixture.

Grease two ring moulds and place on a silicone baking sheet. Fill the ring moulds with the mixture and press down tightly. Bake for 30 minutes.

Allow to cool and drizzle with melted chocolate before serving.
