Description
An ancient Valencian sweet — a preparation of roasted pumpkin or sweet potato combined with ground almonds, sugar, and eggs, shaped into cones or small mounds and baked until just set and lightly caramelised on the surface. Arnadí is considered one of the oldest Valencian confections, with clear Moorish antecedents — the combination of pumpkin, almonds, and sweet spices (cinnamon, lemon) is characteristic of the Arab-Andalusian kitchen. The texture is dense and moist — closer to a frangipane filling than a cake — and the flavour is intensely nutty with a background sweetness from the roasted pumpkin or sweet potato.
