  • Ingredients

Steps

  • Preheat oven to 160oC fan forced. Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper and set aside.
  • For the Peanut Parfait, spread the peanuts over a tray and toast in the oven until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Place sugar and water in a small saucepan and place over low heat.
  • Meanwhile, place eggs and yolk into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whisk until pale and fluffy.
  • Once syrup reaches 118oC, pour into the bowl of eggs, whisking continuously until incorporate. Whisk until mixture cools to room temp, about 5 minutes.
  • Place peanuts into a small food processor and process until very finely chopped. Reserve 3 tablespoons for serving. Add remainder into egg mixture and mix well.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, whip the cream to soft peaks, then fold gently through the peanut and egg mixture until combined.
  • Pour mixture in a lined 18cm x 32cm shallow tray and place into the freezer to set.
  • For the Toblerone Biscuit, melt chocolate in a bain-marie. Add the butter and whisk until incorporated.
  • Add the sugar and egg and whisk until combined. Add flour and salt and mix until combined.
  • Set aside to cool in the fridge for 10 minutes.
  • Using a medium ice cream scoop, spoon 12 portions of mixture onto prepared trays, leaving a little space in between.
  • Bake until the edge of biscuits is caramelised, about 12-14 minutes. Remove from the oven. While still hot, place a 9cm round cookie cutter over the cookies and quickly twirl around each cookie to make into perfect rounds. Allow to cool on a cooling rack.
  • For the Salted Caramel, place sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, swirling pan occasionally, until a dark amber colour is achieved.
  • In the meantime, warm the cream in a small saucepan. Once sugar is amber, add the hot cream and whisk until combined.
  • Add butter and salt and mix. Set aside to cool.
  • To assemble, flip 6 of the biscuits over so flat side is facing up. Using the same cookie cutter used to shape the cookies, cut 6 rounds of parfait. Using a 3cm round cutter, cut out centres from the parfaits. Place the rings of parfait onto inverted biscuits. Fill the centres with salted caramel. Cover each with a second biscuit, with the flat side on the parfait. Drizzle with a little salted caramel and a sprinkle of finely chopped peanuts before serving.

NOTE: Sandwiches can be made a few hours ahead of time and placed into an airtight container in the freezer. Reserve caramel and chopped nuts for drizzling when ready to serve.
