Maple Florentines – Alice Fevronia
10 portions

Ingredients

  • 120 g flaked almonds
  • 75 g chopped pistachios
  • 60 g dried cranberries
  • 40 g dried, chopped apricots
  • 125 ml pure Canadian maple syrup
  • 70 g unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp double cream
  • 40 g plain flour
  • Pinch of salt
  • 125 g milk or dark chocolate

Method

  1. Toast the flaked almonds and chopped pistachios in the oven for a few minutes until golden brown.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan over a medium heat, melt the butter maple syrup and let it simmer for a few minutes.
  3. Mix in the flour, salt and double cream, and mix until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the dried fruit with the toasted nuts, and then pour the mixture over the top, mixing thoroughly until combined.
  5. Line a baking tray with parchment, and pre-heat the oven to 180C.
  6. Using a small circular pastry cutter, place it on the tray and add around 1-1.5tbsp of the Florentine mixture, using a spoon to flatten it to the edges.
  7. Take the cutter away and you should have a nicely round disc. Repeat until you have used all of your mixture.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes in the oven until golden brown, and then edges have started to caramelise.
  9. If they spread at all in the oven, while still warm, use the cutter again to reshape into perfect circles, and allow to cool fully.
  10. Melt the chocolate and spread a thin layer onto the base of the Florentine. Use a fork to create some wiggles on the bottom, and then leave to set.

More about maple

The colour and flavour of maple syrup changes in subtle ways during the seasonal harvest

At the start of the sugaring season, the syrup is generally clear, with a light, sweet taste. It becomes darker with a caramelised flavour as the season progresses throughout the spring.

An unopened can of maple syrup keeps for many years

Once the can is opened, syrup should be kept in an airtight container in a cool place.

Maple spread doesn't contain any butter or dairy products

Like all 100% pure maple products, maple spread comes from the sap of the maple tree — that’s all.
