Ingredients
- 2 cups walnuts
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 egg yolk
Directions
Step 1
Finely chop the walnuts or pulse them in a food processor until they have a coarse, sandy texture. Be careful not to over-process into a paste.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and milk over medium heat.
Step 3
Stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves and the milk starts to steam, but do not allow it to boil.
Step 4
Add the unsalted butter to the saucepan, stirring until it melts completely.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the finely chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly coated with the mixture.
Step 6
Cook the filling for about 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly and comes together.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and egg yolk.
Step 8
Let the filling cool completely before using it to fill your nut rolls. The mixture will thicken further as it cools.
Step 9
Once cooled, the filling is ready to spread onto your prepared dough.
