Horchata White Chocolate Bark with Almonds and Cinnamon

This white chocolate bark recipe combines all the flavors of a classic Mexican Horchata drink. It's layered with almond butter flavored with cinnamon and vanilla. And is topped with even more crunchy almonds.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces white chocolate or use chips, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup raw almonds finely chopped by hand or pulsed in a food processor
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and clear a space for it in your fridge or freezer.
  • Melt the white chocolate either in a double boiler or in the microwave (use 20 second intervals and stir after each one; about 2 minutes total).
  • Pour ¾ of the melted chocolate onto the parchment paper and spread with a spatula to form an even rectangle.
  • Quickly, before it has a chance to harden, stir the almond butter, vanilla, and cinnamon into the bowl with the remaining white chocolate. You can nuke for another 20 seconds to get pliable, but the texture will be doughy.
  • Using your fingers, scatter small chunks of the almond butter mixture on top of the white chocolate rectangle. You can take a spatula to mix and flatten the almond mixture slightly, but don’t stress if it’s a bit chunky. Sprinkle the chopped almonds over the top, along with a pinch of sea salt (see NOTE).
  • Transfer the bark to the fridge or freezer until the chocolate has hardened, about 2 hours for fridge, 20 minutes for freezer.
  • Break into rustic chunks and store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to eat.

Notes

If your almonds or almond butter are salted, you can skip the pinch of salt.
