Description
The Panforte with figs and walnuts is a variation of the traditional Tuscan panforte, an ancient and rich dessert originating from Siena.
This particular version combines the sweet, caramel-like flavor of dried figs with the crunch and intense taste of walnuts, creating a perfect balance between softness and crunchiness.
The base of the panforte consists of a dense and compact mixture made by blending honey, sugar, and a variety of dried fruits and spices. In the case of the Panforte with figs and walnuts, dried figs are chopped into small pieces and mixed with generous amounts of chopped walnuts, along with other classic ingredients like flour, honey, and a delicate blend of spices, including cinnamon and nutmeg, which give the dessert a warm and enveloping aroma.
