Gianduja is my favorite confection...
(Pronunciation: zhahn-DOO-yuh)
It is very popular in Europe, originating in Turin, Italy around 1852.
Americans have yet to recognize this as a common confection. I plan to change that!
Definition: a finely ground smooth mixture of chocolate and nut butter, such as hazelnut, almond, pistachio, sesame, peanut, etc.
Through my confection journeys I have used almost every nut/chocolate combination.
Here are a few of my favorites...
Peanut-Fuilletinne Gianduja Cup
Caramelized Sesame Gianduja square
Marcona Almond Gianduja peaks
Praline Gianduja Domes
Pistachio Gianduja Triangles
Caramelized Hazelnut Gianduja Cups
