Are you a fan of Italian desserts? Looking to try something new and delicious? We’ve got just the recipe for you! In this blog post, we’ll take you through the step-by-step process of making mandorlato, a traditional Italian almond treat. So, put on your apron, gather your ingredients, and let’s get started!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups whole almonds
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Pinch of salt

Step 1: Prepare the Almonds

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the whole almonds on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown. Once toasted, remove them from the oven and set aside to cool.

Step 2: Make the Sugar Syrup

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, honey, vanilla extract, water, and a pinch of salt. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar has completely dissolved. Bring the syrup to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 3: Incorporate the Almonds

Add the toasted almonds to the sugar syrup and mix well, ensuring that all the almonds are coated evenly. Continue cooking the mixture over low heat for about 8-10 minutes, or until the syrup thickens and starts to caramelise, forming a golden color.

Step 4: Shape the Mandorlato

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and quickly transfer the almond mixture onto it. Using a spatula or your hands (be careful, it’s hot!), shape the mixture into a large rectangular slab, about 1-inch thick. Allow it to cool and harden completely at room temperature.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!

Your mandorlato is now ready to be devoured! Once completely cooled and hardened, cut it into small, bite-sized pieces. You can serve it as a sweet treat with coffee or tea, or even wrap it up nicely and offer it as a homemade gift to friends and family.

This classic Italian almond recipe is sure to impress your taste buds with its delightful crunch and sweet caramel flavor. Give it a try and let us know how it turns out for you!
