Preparation

To make the praline, scatter the almonds onto a lightly greased baking sheet. Combine caster sugar and XXXX water in a saucepan and stir over medium heat to form a light caramel. Pour over the almonds and leave to cool. Crush to a fine powder.

In a separate pan, combine caster sugar, honey, liquid glucose and XXX water and, using a sugar thermometer, cook until the mixture reaches 125°C. Remove from heat and set aside until the mixture cools to 90°C.

Whisk egg whites in an electric mixer to soft peaks. With mixer running, gradually pour in sugar mixture in a thin stream until completely incorporated. Continue to beat until mixture cools – about 5 minutes. Fold praline and cream into egg whites.

Pour into a lined terrine mould and smooth top. Tap gently and freeze overnight.

Turn out of mould and slice with a hot knife and serve garnished with fresh berries in summer or poached pears and chocolate sauce in winter.
