- Preparation: 30 min
- Cooking: 15 min
- Makes: 1 serving (36 g)
- Difficulty: Hard
- Diets: Vegetarian, Gluten-free, Dairy-free, Low carb
- Contains: egg, honey, nut
Ingredients
- 10 g Honey
- 8 g Sugar
- 5 g Egg whites, raw
- 8 g Almonds
- 5 g Hazelnuts
Method
- Makes 1 small bar; multiply every amount for more.
- Toast the almonds and hazelnuts in a dry pan for 3-4 minutes until lightly golden and fragrant, then set aside.
- Warm the honey and sugar together in a small, heavy pan over low heat until the sugar dissolves, then simmer gently.
- Whisk the egg white to soft peaks, then slowly trickle in the hot honey syrup while whisking constantly, and keep whisking over a bowl of simmering water for 8-10 minutes until the mixture is thick, pale and holds its shape (this fully cooks the egg white to a safe temperature).
- Fold in the toasted nuts quickly while the mixture is still warm and pliable.
- Press into a small parchment-lined mould or shape into a bar between two sheets of parchment, and leave to set firm at room temperature for a few hours before slicing.
