Before making the nut cream, you need to mash the nuts. What for? To answer this question, you need to know one culinary secret.

Italian confectioners create many different goodies based on nut puree - it is the basis of many culinary recipes, cakes, meringues and cookies. Apart from the confectionery direction, puree can be used as a base for gravies and sauces.

Preparing nut puree

Hazelnut kernels are used to make puree. At home, you can use other types of nuts. For cooking, you need only 200 grams of kernels and 50 grams of sugar. If you wish, you can experiment with walnuts or peanuts.

1. The first step will be to heat the oven to 100 ° C - this is the temperature that is ideal for warming up nuts, since they should just warm up well, and not fry. Only in this condition will the nut oil be released.
2. In the oven, the container with nuts should stay for about10 minutes - during this time the desired effect will be achieved.
3. While the nuts are heating, you need to periodically stir and shake them so that the heating is even.
4. While the main ingredient is being prepared, the rest must be prepared. Melt sugar over low heat. After its transition to a liquid state, you need to remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Sugar should not be hot.
5. When the nuts are ready, you need to get them out of the oven, pour them on a soft towel and wipe well. This is necessary in order to separate the film that protects the core. If it is not removed, bitterness will appear, which will spoil the taste of the finished product.
6. Nuts need to cool and transfer to a container for grinding. Crushing the nuclei should be pulsed - this reduces the risk of damage to household equipment.
7. Until the nuts begin to release oil, do not run the device at full capacity. As soon as this happens, the mass itself will begin to change consistency before our eyes. It will become smoother and more like sour cream.
8. As soon as the nuts become a homogeneous mass, you need to pour in the sugar in a thin stream or one spoonful at regular intervals.
