Categories     Nut     Dessert     Bake     Macadamia Nut     Hot Pepper     Vegan     Gourmet     Kidney Friendly     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 cup coarsely chopped salted macadamia nuts (2 oz)
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250°F. Lightly oil a large sheet of foil on a baking sheet, then warm in oven.
  • Shake nuts in a coarse sieve to remove any nut powder (this will create a clearer brittle).
  • Cook sugar and water in a deep 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, stirring slowly with a fork, until melted and pale golden. Cook caramel without stirring, swirling pan, until golden. Immediately stir in red pepper flakes and nuts and cook, stirring, until nuts are golden, about 1 minute. Quickly pour onto foil, tilting baking sheet to spread brittle evenly before it hardens. (If caramel hardens too fast, put in a 400°F oven until warm enough to spread, 1 to 2 minutes.) Cool brittle on baking sheet on a rack until completely hardened, then break into large pieces.

Tips:

  • For the most flavorful fruit, choose ripe tropical fruits that are fragrant and brightly colored.
  • To easily peel and slice the mangoes, use a sharp serrated knife and score the skin lengthwise before peeling.
  • For a smoother rum sauce, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve before serving.
  • To make the chile macadamia brittle in advance, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
  • For a fun and festive presentation, serve the fruit splits in individual dessert bowls or coupes.

Conclusion:

These tropical fruit splits are a delicious and refreshing treat that are perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet, juicy fruit, creamy rum sauce, and crunchy chile macadamia brittle is sure to please everyone. With a few simple tips, you can easily make this recipe at home and enjoy a taste of the tropics all year long.
