Description
A delightful and indulgent dessert that combines the rich flavors of hazelnuts and protein for a unique treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup hazelnuts
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup protein powder
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of cocoa powder (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Praline: Begin by toasting the hazelnuts in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly for about 5–7 minutes, until they become fragrant and golden.
- Make the Sugar Syrup: In a saucepan, add the granulated sugar and a splash of water. Heat over medium until the sugar dissolves and turns into a syrup, about 10–12 minutes.
- Combine Hazelnuts: Fold in the toasted hazelnuts and salt into the sugar syrup. Pour the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Make the Protein Cloud: Whip the cream until soft peaks form. In another bowl, mix the protein powder, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder.
- Incorporate the Cream: Fold the whipped cream into the dry mixture until fully combined.
- Assemble the Dessert: Break the cooled praline into pieces and layer it with the cloud mixture in a serving dish.
- Final Touches: Top with additional whipped cream and sprinkle more crushed praline for decoration.
Notes
Store the cloud and praline separately to maintain texture. Refrigerate the whipped mixture for up to 3 days.
