CRYSTALLIZATION

Crystallization adds a thin layer of sugar to nuts, seeds, spices, cocoa beans, chopped nuts, and so on, giving them a particular opaque and grainy appearance.
During chewing the food makes a pleasant crunch and leaves the texture of micro-crystals in the mouth.
In our case, entering into contact with gelato and therefore absorbing moisture, to avoid a gumming effect we suggest adding an additional layer of melted cocoa butter.
This will insulate the products against the humidity of the gelato, preserving – even enhancing – the crunchy effect. This method is extraordinary
when used in fillings for gelato cakes, single portions, semifreddos, cones and trays, and was developed specifically for the gelato shop.

INGREDIENTS:

nuts 500 g
• sugar 200 g
• cocoa butter 150 g

INSTRUCTIONS

Place the nuts in a basin, preferably copper, and heat to 60°C while stirring continuously.
Add sugar and continue to constantly stir over heat.
The sugar will start to get grainy, sticking to the nuts and covering them completely, thus creating a sandy, crystallized effect.
Immediately pour the nuts onto baking paper to cool.
Agitate to eliminate excess sugar.
Put the finished nuts in a container and add the cocoa butter melted at 40°C.
Mix so that all the nuts are coated and the cocoa butter solidifies.
Pour onto baking paper and allow to harden, turning the nuts to prevent sticking.
Store in an airtight container in a cool place.
