Free. No account needed.
Method
Pre‑warm metal baking pans in the oven until hot.
Pre‑warm the cashew pieces in the same oven.
Heat the cashew butter in a pot on the stove until it becomes a smooth, amber‑colored liquid.
Pour the hot cashew butter mixture onto the hot baking pans.
Spread the mixture thinly and evenly across each pan using a spatula or spreading tool.
Transfer the hot trays onto a marble surface so the marble absorbs the heat and the brittle cools quickly.
Allow the brittle to cool on the marble until it loses its shine, then let it cool overnight.
Once fully set, break the brittle into pieces and coat them with melted chocolate, if desired.
