Walnut Dessert Sauce
This sauce made from toasted ground walnuts is so tempting and rich that it may distract from what it is topping!  Try it over squares of chocolate or moka cake, ice cream, pear compote or crepes.

makes just under 400 ml.

 

100 g. quality walnuts, chopped

150 g. fine sugar 
100 ml. water 
100 ml. cream 
50 g. butter 
optional:  1-1/2 T. walnut liquor

In a heavy pan, toast the walnuts until they begin to darken and are aromatic.  Puree until fine with half of the water.  Set aside.

 

In a medium sized pot and over a low heat, simmer the remaining water and the sugar together, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil this time without stirring until it begins to turn golden. Carefully add the pureed walnuts and the cream.  Allow to bubble several minutes until it begins to thicken.  Remove from heat, stir in the butter and the brandy well. 
 

Delicious warm or room temperature!
