Warm the almonds and hazelnuts in a 160°C oven for 8 minutes, until fragrant.
Chop the dried figs small and mix with the candied peel.
Add the flour, cocoa, cinnamon, and black pepper to the filling.
Boil the honey and sugar in a small pot for 4 minutes, until they form a thick syrup.
Pour the syrup into the dry mixture and stir quickly.
Press the mixture into a parchment lined mold.
Bake the dessert in a 160°C oven for 32 minutes.
When cool, dust with powdered sugar and slice thinly.
💡 Tip: Mix while the honey syrup is still hot; if you wait, the nuts harden before they bind together.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve thin slices as a small sweet with unsweetened espresso or black tea.
