Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 grams Powdered sugar
- 60 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 90 grams Chopped walnuts
- 20 pieces Whole walnut halves
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar and unsalted butter. Use a hand mixer or a wooden spoon to cream them together until smooth and fluffy.
Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix well until fully incorporated and no lumps remain.
Fold the chopped walnuts into the mixture using a spatula or spoon, ensuring that they are evenly distributed throughout the cream base.
Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper. Scoop out small portions of the walnut cream mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into balls using your hands. Place each ball onto the parchment-lined tray.
Press a whole walnut half gently onto the top of each ball, slightly flattening it while creating a decorative topping.
Place the tray in the refrigerator and allow the walnut creams to chill for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
Once set, transfer the walnut creams to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to one week. Serve chilled and enjoy!
