Walnut & Honey Florentines are a delightful combination of nuts, dried fruits, and rich dark chocolate. These thin, crunchy cookies are perfect for an elegant tea time treat or a sophisticated dessert. With a blend of almonds, walnuts, and pistachios, finished with the sweet and citrusy hint of honey and orange zest, this recipe is both luxurious and surprisingly easy to make.
- Chop the nuts and dried fruits uniformly to ensure even distribution and baking.
- Use a silicone baking mat or parchment paper to prevent the florentines from sticking to the baking sheet.
- Keep an eye on the edges of the florentines while baking, as they can quickly go from golden brown to burnt.
- Allow the florentines to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them retain their shape and crispness.
- Melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, ensuring it doesn't overheat and seize up.
- Dip the bottom of the florentines in melted chocolate and let them set on parchment paper for an extra layer of indulgence.
By following these steps, you'll have beautifully crafted Walnut & Honey Florentines that are sure to impress your guests and satisfy your sweet tooth. The combination of nuts, honey, and chocolate creates an irresistible treat that's both crunchy and delicious. Enjoy your homemade florentines with a cup of coffee or as a special addition to any dessert platter.
