Delicious Florentine cookies make the perfect gift. Try our cherry dark chocolate or orange milk versions, or get creative with ginger, pistachios, white chocolate, and cranberries!
Ingredients:
40 g mixed dried cherries or candied orange peel
70 g sugar
20 g unsalted butter
2teaspoons plain flour
60 ml crème fraîche
50 g flaked almonds
30 g mixed seeds such as sunflower, sesame, poppy seeds
150 g dark (70%) or milk chocolate
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 180ºC/gas 4 and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Finely chop the dried fruit or peel. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine sugar, butter, and flour until sugar dissolves. Gradually stir in the crème fraîche. Remove from heat and mix in flaked almonds, seeds, and dried fruit or peel. While warm, spoon little mounds onto the baking sheets, spacing them apart. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden. Allow to cool slightly on the sheets before transferring to a rack to cool completely. Melt chocolate in a bowl over simmering water, then drizzle over the florentines. Let the chocolate set before storing in boxes or wrapping in greaseproof paper with ribbons.
