Preparation
- Serving size:0.44 oz (calculated)
- In a dry pan roast the almonds until they spread a nice aroma. Remove from the pan.
- To the same pan, add the erythritol wet with a bit of water and bring it to a boil. Boil for about 4 minutes. The mixture should not darken.
- Remove from the heat and add the butter and cinnamon. The butter will brown due to the heat of the erythritol. This is desired.
- Now add the almonds and spread the mix on a sheet of parchment paper. Let cool and chop coarsely.
- Chop the cashew nuts coarsely.
- Bring the cream to a boil. Chop the chocolate finely and cover it with the cream. Let sit for about 5 minutes. This will melt the chocolate without burning it.
- Stir in the gingerbread spice mix and the chopped almonds and cashew nuts.
- Line a 6-inch square cake pan (15 cm) with parchment paper and transfer the chocolate mix to it.
- Level the mix, maybe even covering it with some parchment paper and pressing it flat. The mix will be about 3/4 in or 2 cm high.
- Let cool completely. Chill for about 1 hour to harden the confectionary before cutting into 8ths horizontally and vertically.
- Store at room temperature, or, if you like the confectionary to be harder, in the fridge.
