Author/ Συγγραφέας: Katerina
Recipe type/ Τύπος Πιάτου: Dessert
Cuisine/ Κουζίνα: Greek
- 300 gr./11 oz. tahini
- 100 gr.4 oz. sugar
- 70 gr./2.5 oz. honey
- 1 vanillin or ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup almonds, blanched
- Pour the tahini in your mixer bowl and put the paddle.
- Preheat oven to 175° C/ 350° F.
- Place the almonds in tray and put them in the oven for about five minutes.
- Be careful and don’t leave the oven unattended because they are burnt very easily. Trust me on that, experience talks.
- Remove from the oven and put aside.
- In a medium pot add the sugar on medium heat.
- When it starts to boil remove immediately and add the honey.
- Whisk to incorporate.
- Turn on the mixer to second gear and start pouring little by little the caramelized sugar.
- You will see that as you pour the caramel the tahini starts to thicken and gather around the paddle. Whisk for a minute and it is done.
- Put it in a glass or metal mold and let it rest and cool for about two hours.
- Serve with sprinkled cinnamon.
