ABOUT Panpepato Italian Christmas Treat RECIPE

I watch Silvia Colloca shows on Fox life and love them. I referred her recipe to make this classic Italian christmas dish with tons of dried figs and nuts and of course chocolate! I would say this is more of a sticky fudge. Do not expect it to be like a cake as we do not add baking powder/soda.

Ingredients Serving: 4

Almonds -100g (2/3cup)
Walnuts -100g(2/3 cup)
Dried figs - roughly chopped - 1.5 cups
Plain flour/Maida -1 cup
Ground cinnamon-2 teaspoon
Ground cloves -1/2 teaspoon
Ground pepper-1/4 teaspoon
Nutmeg grated -1/4 teaspoon
Cocoa powder -2 tablespoon
Honey -350g(approximately 1cup)
Fine sugar -1/2 cup
Dark chocolate- chopped small -80g

Instructions

Boil some water and soak the almonds for 15 minutes in the hot water.
Sift flour, cocoa powder, ground spices in a bowl and mix.
After the almonds are soaked for 15 minutes the skin will come off easily.
Peel the almonds and add them in a bowl along with walnuts and chopped figs.
Add this to the flour mixture and mix well.
Preheat oven to 170 deg C for ten minutes.
Grease a large square pan.
Now heat up honey,chopped dark chocolate and sugar in a pan in medium heat.
Once it starts to bubble lightly, simmer for two minutes without stirring. Switch off.
Pour this over the flour and nut mix and combine well.
If needed add a teaspoon extra honey to combine.
Pour this in the greased pan and smooth the top with a spoon or ladle.
Bake this mix for 25 to 30 minutes.
It should be baked until just set. Mine was done in 25 minutes.
Cool down and invert and slice to enjoy!
