Preparation Steps

1. Preparing the nuts and raisins: Start by roasting the nuts in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Stir frequently to avoid burning. When they turn golden and release their aroma, remove them from the pan and let them cool. Meanwhile, soak the raisins in an orange-flavored alcohol for 20 minutes, then drain and let them dry.

2. Preparing the sugar syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar with water. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the sugar completely dissolves and the mixture starts to boil. Let it boil for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.

3. Creating the chocolate base: Add the cubed butter to the hot sugar syrup. Stir until the butter completely melts. Then, add Nescafe and mix well. Next, incorporate the powdered milk, stirring until you achieve a homogeneous mixture. This is the moment when you can adjust the consistency by adding more water if you desire a less dense texture.

4. Adding flavors: Once the mixture is homogeneous, add the vanilla sugar, rum essence, and drained raisins. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

5. Assembling the dessert: Grease a tray with butter (or use a glass container) and pour the mixture inside. Make sure it is evenly distributed. Sprinkle the roasted nuts on top for added texture and flavor.

6. Cooling: Allow the dessert to cool at room temperature, then place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (or overnight). This cooling process allows the flavors to develop and blend perfectly.

7. Serving: Once the dessert has set, cut it into squares or serve portions in glasses if you want to give it a special touch. You can decorate with a topping of whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate syrup for a more appealing look.

Serving Suggestions

This Nescafe chocolate in a glass pairs perfectly with a cup of freshly brewed coffee or a flavored tea. If you want to add a touch of elegance, serve it with a dollop of whipped cream and some fresh berries.

Possible Variations

- Alcohol-free: If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, you can soak the raisins in hot water with a little vanilla essence.
- Different flavors: You can experiment by adding flavors like cinnamon or caramel-flavored coffee to the base mixture.
- Improved nutrition: Replace sugar with natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup for a healthier option.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is it important to roast the nuts? Roasting the nuts intensifies the flavor and makes them crunchier, contributing to the final texture of the dessert.

2. Can I use another type of milk instead of powdered milk? Although powdered milk provides a specific creamy texture, you can try condensed milk or almond milk for a vegan option.

3. What should I do if the mixture is too soft? Make sure to follow the quantities of water and sugar. If you added too much water, you can try adding more powdered milk to thicken the mixture.

4. How can I adjust the sweetness? You can reduce the amount of sugar or use a natural sweetener to achieve a sweetness to your liking.
