California Walnut Parfait with Candied Walnuts

Begin by making the homemade California Walnut butter.: Once cooled add the roasted walnuts, cinnamon and salt to a food processor and blitz until as smooth as possible. My food processor takes around 7minutes to achieve the correct consistency.

To make the candied California Walnuts..: Heat a non stick pan on to a medium to high heat and add the sugar, butter and vanilla extract, once it begins to melt stir it to combine and then add the walnuts in. Stir often to make sure nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan and the sugar doesn’t burn or it will be very bitter.

To Serve.: Drizzle some of the chocolate sauce on to a small plate then scoop some of the parfait and place on top of the chocolate sauce, add a little more chocolate sauce on top and the add some of your candied walnuts for texture.
