Hazelnut Fudge with Vanilla Cream Recipe

Serves 6

Ingredients:

Hazelnut-Praline Topping

170g caster sugar

60ml water

150g hazelnuts, roasted and peeled

Fudge

200g dark chocolate, chopped

60g butter

1/3 cup pouring cream

30ml Frangelico, plus extra

for serving

½ cup brown sugar

2 eggs

Vanilla Cream

200ml thickened cream

1 vanilla pod, seeds scraped

Method:

For topping, place sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to high and cook for 4-5 minutes or until caramel is a deep golden colour.

Spread nuts onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. Pour over caramel; let cool. Break up toffee mixture and place in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until mixture is a coarse crumb. Place in an airtight container until ready to serve.

Preheat oven to 150°C. Place chocolate, butter, cream, and Frangelico in a saucepan over low heat; stir until melted and smooth. Place brown sugar and eggs in a bowl; whisk to combine. Gradually mix in chocolate mixture and pour into a lightly greased ovenproof dish.

Place dish in a deep baking dish; pour in enough water to come halfway up the side of the first dish. Bake, covered with foil, for 1 hour. Refrigerate until cooled.

To make vanilla cream, whisk cream and vanilla seeds until soft peaks form.

To serve, scoop spoonfuls of fudge onto plates, top with a dollop of vanilla cream, and sprinkle with hazelnut-praline topping. Serve with Frangelico.
