Black and white sesame brittle cut into triangles on a ceramic plate

Ingredients

200 g glucose syrup
250 g sugar
100 g UMAMI Organic toasted white sesame
100 g UMAMI Organic toasted black sesame
12 g cocoa butter
A kitchen thermometer, baking paper and a rolling pin

Method

01
Lay a sheet of baking paper on a work surface and keep the rolling pin to hand.
02
In a heavy-based saucepan, bring the glucose and sugar to 120 °C, stirring only at the start.
03
Remove from the heat, add both sesames and the cocoa butter and stir until everything is well combined.
04
Pour onto the baking paper, cover with a second sheet and immediately roll out into a thin layer.
05
Break or cut the brittle while it is still warm: once cold it would break unevenly.
