Ingredients

The following ingredients have 20 Servings
  • 2/3 cup (130g) sugar
  • 1/4 cup (70g) honey
  • 1/4 cup (70g) heavy cream
  • 2.5 ounces (70g) candied orange or mandarin
  • 5.3 ounces (150g) sliced almonds
  • 4.2 (120g) milk chocolate

Instruction

  • Heat honey, cream and sugar in a small saucepan until the temperature reaches 245°F (118°C). If you don’t have a cooking thermometer, simmer for about 5 minutes but do not let the mixture turn brown.
  • Remove from the heat and add the candied orange/mandarin and the sliced almonds. Stir gently until coated.
  • Preheat the oven to 340°F (170°C).
  • Spoon one teaspoon of the batter on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, or ideally in a silicone muffin cup so that the cookie keeps its shape.
  • Bake for about 5 to 10 minutes, or until golden. Let cool, then invert the cookies.
  • Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in the microwave and stir every 20 seconds until melted and smooth.
  • Dip the bottom of each florentine in the melted chocolate, or use a spoon for coating if easier. Invert and allow the chocolate to set. Let cool and enjoy!
