I propose a simple yet impressive recipe for Amarena Dessert with Walnut in Caramel. This layered dessert with Nutella cream is perfect for impressing guests or simply treating yourself after a long day. The combination of crunchy walnuts, sweet caramel, and smooth chocolate cream makes this dish a true delicacy.
Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons of walnuts (preferably Romanian walnuts for an intense flavor)
- 200 g of Nutella cream
- 4 tablespoons of Amarena cherries (you can also use other types of cherries, but Amarena provides a distinct taste)
- 100 g of sugar
- 50 ml of water
- A pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 4 serving glasses for dessert
Step by Step:
1. Preparing the caramel: In a non-stick pan, add the sugar and water. Turn the heat to medium and let it boil, stirring gently to dissolve the sugar. When the mixture turns golden, turn off the heat and add a pinch of salt. This step will enhance the flavor of the caramel. Be careful not to burn the sugar; burnt caramel becomes bitter and won’t be as delicious.
2. Adding the walnuts: While the caramel is still warm, add the chopped walnuts and mix quickly. The caramel will harden instantly, so make sure to coat them evenly. Transfer the caramelized walnuts to a sheet of parchment paper to cool.
3. Preparing the Nutella layer: In a bowl, mix the Nutella cream with the vanilla extract. This step will add a pleasant aroma to the dessert and make the cream easier to spread.
4. Assembling the dessert: In the serving glasses, add a layer of Nutella cream, followed by a layer of caramelized walnuts. Continue with another layer of Nutella and finish with a few Amarena cherries on top. You can also add a few extra walnuts for decoration.
5. Serving: The Amarena Dessert with Walnut in Caramel can be served immediately or refrigerated for 30 minutes to firm up a bit. I recommend serving it with an extra caramel sauce for an added touch of elegance.
Practical Tips:
- If you don’t have walnuts, you can substitute with hazelnuts or almonds to vary the texture and flavor of the dessert.
- Amarena cherries can be replaced with other dried or fresh fruits, but their sweet-sour flavor is hard to match.
- If you want a lighter dessert, you can use a sugar-free version of Nutella or one with dark chocolate.
This Amarena Dessert with Walnut in Caramel is not just a visual treat but also an explosion of flavors in every spoonful. Perfect for any occasion, the recipe is simple and quick, bringing a touch of elegance to every day. Treat yourself or delight your loved ones with this delicious delicacy!
We heat the liquid cream and melt Nutella in it, then put it in the fridge overnight. The next day, we whip the cream/Nutella well. We mix the cheese with the liqueur. In a pan, we melt the sugar, adding just a little butter (about the size of half a walnut). We stir a bit, let the sugar take on a little color, then add the nuts and mix. After the nuts have cooled a bit, we chop them with a knife. Now, I placed in each elongated glass, the cheese, then a spoonful of cherries, and on top, the whipped cream. The recipe said the opposite... On top, I sprinkled, as decoration... the chopped nuts. You can also decorate with cherries in liqueur or whipped cream... as you like. Enjoy your meal!
