In collaboration with Camilla Hamid, we’re bringing you a delightful nut truffle cake topped with rich chocolate. This no-bake treat is a guaranteed hit for any coffee break or dessert table!
The recipe is prepared in a 35×11 cm tart pan with removable sides and yields 8-10 generous slices.
Ingredients:
200 ml (0.8 cups) light syrup
100 ml (0.4 cups) brown sugar
300 g Nöt-Créme Original
A pinch of salt
500 ml (2 cups) plain cornflakes
200 g dark chocolate
2 tbsp cooking oil
Crushed hazelnuts for garnish
Instructions:
- Melt the syrup and brown sugar together over medium heat in a saucepan.
- Add the Nöt-Créme and stir continuously while heating until the mixture is smooth.
- Finally, add the salt and coarsely crushed cornflakes. Mix until the cornflakes are evenly distributed, then pour the mixture into the tart pan. Place the pan in the fridge to cool completely while you prepare the chocolate topping.
- Roughly chop the dark chocolate and melt in the microwave in 30-second intervals. Stir in the cooking oil and let the chocolate glaze cool before topping the cake with it.
- Garnish with crushed hazelnuts and let the cake sit in the fridge until the glaze is set before serving.
Bror Printzell’s Candy Factory
In 1961, candy maker Bror Printzell in Hässleholm came up with the idea of taking the delicious filling from hard candies and packaging it in plastic sachets. This indulgent treat was Nöt-Crème, filled in 18-gram sachets. Bror Printzell justified this unusual idea by saying, ”It’s the best part you want anyway!” And who could argue with that logic? Initially, the idea was met with skepticism. Only one wholesaler in Gothenburg took a chance and bought a few boxes.
Then one day, Bror received a phone call. A lady explained that long lines of schoolchildren were queuing outside her kiosk, all wanting to buy Nöt-Crème. She wanted to order more! It soon became clear that many others thought candy filling in a sachet was a brilliant idea.
To this day, Nöt-Crème is made the same way, in the same factory in Hässleholm, Sweden.
