Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the edges of the paper extend over the sides of the pan for easy removal later. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spread the cashews evenly on a baking sheet.
- Drizzle 2 teaspoons of honey over the cashews and toss to coat.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt over the cashews.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the cashews are golden brown and fragrant.
- Let them cool completely, then chop coarsely. Set aside.
- Place the milk chocolate and dark chocolate in a large heatproof bowl.
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy whipping cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
- Pour the hot cream over the chocolate.
- Let the mixture sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
- Stir gently with a whisk or spatula until smooth and fully combined.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Gently fold in the chopped honey-roasted cashews and the sesame seeds into the chocolate mixture.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared baking pan.
- Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly and smooth the surface.
- Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the ganache is firm.
- Once the ganache is firm, use the parchment paper to lift it out of the pan.
- Place on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut into squares of your desired size.
- Store the chocolate squares in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Allow them to come to room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving for the best texture and flavor.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate to ensure the best flavor and texture.
- Roast the cashews yourself for maximum freshness and flavor.
- Chill the truffle mixture adequately before cutting into squares to achieve clean, sharp edges.
- Sprinkle a bit of sea salt on top just before serving for an extra flavor boost.
- Store the squares in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.
