Instructions
Hazelnut Biscuits
- Process all ingredients in the food processor until broken down.
- Allow to sit and firm for about 5 minutes.
- Using an offset spatula, spread the mix onto teflex sheets or greaseproof paper to ¼ inch thickness and score into bar shapes as desired.
- Dehydrate at 115f or desired temp for 8 hours then flip off teflex onto mesh and dry another 8-10 hours or until crisp. If you want to keep the biscuits from bowing while they dry, lay a mesh sheet on top when you flip them.
- Once dry, gently break along the score lines and allow to cool before applying the next layers.
Raspberry Praline
- Mix together the first set of ingredients in a medium bowl until smooth and well combined.
- Add the freeze dried fruit powder and mix to combine.
- Pop in the fridge 10-15 minutes to firm up enough to spread on the biscuits.
- Once ready, spread an even layer on 2 biscuits, stack them one on top of the other and one more biscuit on top to finish.
- Press them gently to push the praline to the edges of the biscuit.
- Remove the excess praline and place the bars on a greaseproof lined tray to set in the fridge about 15 mins or until firm.
- Enrobe in dark chocolate, drizzle and garnish with activated hazelnuts. Click here to learn how to make and temper the chocolate.
