Caramelized Almond & Sesame Milk Chocolate Spread

Toasted sesame seeds boost the nutty flavor in this praline spread. When paired with our Soleil d’Or 38% milk chocolate, the flavor expands exponentially, inviting notes of toasted almonds and delicate nods of malt, caramel and sesame. Best used at room temperature as a spread on a rustic sourdough bread, or possibly paired with a stone fruit compote.

Yield

Four 4-oz jars

Ingredients

300g almond-sesame praline 60% (50/50 almond sesame)

90g unsalted butter 82%, room temperature

0.5g coarse salt

90g Guittard Soleil d’Or 38% Milk Chocolate

Directions

Combine almond-sesame praline, butter and salt in a food processor. Blend until smooth. Ensure praline mixture is at a temperature of 86°F (30°C) or cooler. Add pre-crystallized Soleil d’Or 38%, blend until just combined. Do not exceed 87°F (31°C). Finish blending by hand, then deposit into four 4-oz glass jars and store in the cooler.

Allow the spread to sit 25-30 minutes at room temperature before using, for ease of spreading.
