Panforte
- 250 g oven roasted mixed nuts
- 1/3 cup each of: glace mixed peel, figs and apricots all roughly chopped
- 75 g of 70% dark chocolate roughly chopped
- 1/3 c rice flour
- 1 tbsp cocoa
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp mixed spice
- ½ c honey
- ½ c caster sugar
- 2 tbsp butter
- Icing sugar for dusting
Preheat the oven to 160C and line a 20 cm tin with baking paper, greasing the sides of the tin with butter.
Place the nuts and dried fruit into a large mixing bowl. Sift in the dry ingredients until combined.
Place the honey, sugar and butter in a small saucepan and stir over a medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. When the mixture is bubbling, pour it over the nut and flour mixture and stir until combined.
Place the mixture in the tin and press it down with wet hands to flatten the surface. Bake for 30 mins or until the mixture is just bubbling in the centre. Leave to cool and then remove from the tin and dust with icing sugar.
