Ingredients
Method
Mixed-nut praline
1.Line an oven tray with baking paper. Sprinkle nuts over paper.
2.In a medium saucepan, combine water and sugar. Stir over low heat for 2-3 minutes until sugar dissolves. Bring to boil.
3.Simmer, without stirring, for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Pour over nuts.
4.Cool. Break half the praline sheet into small pieces. Chop remaining praline finely.
Semifreddo
5.In a small bowl, using an electric mixer, beat yolks, sugar and paste until thick and pale. Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Fold cream and finely chopped praline through.
6.In a small, clean bowl, using an electric mixer, beat egg- whites until soft peaks form. Lightly fold egg whites through cream mixture. Cover with foil and freeze overnight until firm.
7.Remove semifreddo from freezer for 10 minutes before serving in scoops, topped with remaining broken praline.
Ensure the toffee is poured over the nuts in a very thin layer. Be careful – the tray will be very hot. To prevent crystallisation, do not stir the toffee mixture once it comes to the boil.
