Apricot-Hazelnut Triangles

Apricot-Hazelnut Triangles

Buttery, soft, chewy,  and loaded with hazelnuts and apricots, these sweet bars are packed with flavor and the perfect recipe for those days when you need a  quick, yet impressive dessert. This recipe is our version of the classic German biscuit, Nussecken, which is sold in many German bakeries. These triangles feature a shortcrust pastry base, a fruity layer of apricot jam, a crumbly topping of roasted hazelnuts and made complete by being dipped in melted chocolate. The perfect finish for this already delightful treat! Who could resist? Certainly not us!

Recipe Tips

  • Use a ruler when cutting out the squares and triangles – this helps keep things tidy and the edges straight.
  • To dip the corners in chocolate: pour the chocolate into a small, deep bowl. Dip a corner into the chocolate then wait a few seconds before you dip the other corner, this helps prevent the chocolate from dripping down the sides.
  • If you love chocolate, you can dip all the sides in chocolate rather than just the corners.
  • You can make mini bite-sized triangles by cutting the triangles in half. These are similar to petit fours and make great gifts!
