Weiss Bar plated dessert
A little more elegant than your average Weiss bar, this in fact is a plated ice cream dessert with all the trimmings but the flavour you know and love
Move over Weiss Bars...we got one better!
Summertime in Australia is very much based around the beach, BBQ's and ice cream. This recipe is a little above average when it comes to your beach ice cream, and should be saved for a special occasion dinner party. But it has all the elements of one of our faves, the Mango Vanilla Weiss bar.
I had this in Perth at a beachside cafe, which was a lovely surprise, as I thought I had ordered some ice cream. Then this arrived. So of course I went into recipe developer mode and as we were shooting 'copies' of favourite Aussie snacks the week following, I went to work.
I think you will love it. It was certainly a big hit with my fam! Enjoy!

Lay the nuts and salt across a Silpat mat on a flat surface.

Once the sugar has completely melted, use a spatula to stir to make sure all the granules are combined. The sugar should smell a little burned and be a dark colour. Quickly pour this over the nuts and salt and allow to set completely. When it is cold, break ti up with a rolling pin, crushing it slightly to create a crumb. Store until use.
