Pairing Polish Delicacies with Beer

 

Andrut

Ingredients:

16 ounces milk chocolate candy bar, such as Hershey’s

16 ounces raw walnuts

1 pound salted butter, room temperature

2 eggs

4 egg yolks

5 cups sugar

1 package of 6 tort wafers, about 12-inch square or round*

 

Directions:

Break up the chocolate bars and place in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the chopping blade. Pulse until the chocolate is finely and evenly chopped. Remove to a large bowl and set aside.

Do the same with the walnuts – process until finely and evenly chopped. Add these to the bowl with the chocolate and set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, or in a very large mixing bowl, stir the butter with the sugar until completely mixed. Add the eggs and yolks to this and stir until combined. Fold in the chocolate and nuts. Divide the mixture evenly into 5 separate parts. 

Place a single wafer on a baking sheet and dot the wafer with one part of the chocolate-nut mixture. Gently spread the mixture across the wafer until it is evenly covered, all the way to the edges. Top with a second wafer and spread the second part of mixture in the same way as the first. Continue this process until all parts of the chocolate-nut mixture and all but one wafer has been used up. Top with the last wafer.

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm. When ready to serve, cut the number of pieces desired and keep the rest of the dessert in the refrigerator.
