Ingredients
Method
Cashew nut praline:
Caramelise the sugar and pour on a mat and allow to set then blend in a thermomix. Blend up cashew nuts and slowly add into a stone grinder. Blend until smooth.
Mix 200g cashew praline with 100g Cacao Barry Ghana and spread between 2 sheets and set. Cut into size and use in your chocolate.
Roasted white chocolate and vanilla ganache:
Boil the cream, vanilla, sorbitol, glucose and salt. Pour over the roasted white chocolate. Blend and allow to cool before piping.
Line your moulds with Ghana and fill with your Ganache, put the cut cashew disk into the chocolate and cap it off. Allow to crystallise and turn out.
The Staff Canteen has always been more than a website—it’s a community, built by and for hospitality. We share the wins, the challenges, the graft, and the inspiration that keeps kitchens alive.
We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.
A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
