The story behind
This turrón is a reinterpretation of a homemade classic that plays with the balance between sweet and salty. The key lies in the thin layers of crackers that stay firm within a thick bittersweet chocolate ganache, creating a dense and satisfying bite.
Instructions
-
11. Preparing the chocolate base: Heat the heavy cream until it just reaches a boil. Pour it over the chopped bittersweet chocolate and butter. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until you have a smooth and glossy ganache.
-
22. Adding walnuts: Fold the chopped walnuts into the chocolate mixture to add texture and that characteristic rustic flavor.
-
33. Layering: In a rectangular mold lined with parchment paper, spread a thin layer of chocolate on the bottom. Cover with a layer of salted crackers, ensuring they reach the edges.
-
44. Stratifying: Repeat the process, alternating chocolate and crackers until finished with a generous layer of chocolate on top. Lightly tap the mold to remove air bubbles and ensure the chocolate fills the gaps between the crackers.
-
55. Chilling and finishing: Decorate the top with extra walnuts or a slivered almond. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours. Cut into firm rectangular slices, to reveal the internal layers.
