3/4 cup sesame seeds50g hazelnuts
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 cup caster sugar
1/3 cup water
160g triple cream cheese, at room temperature

- Roughly chop the hazelnuts. Add the cinnamon to the frypan and cook until fragrant. Remove and combine with sesame seeds and chopped hazelnuts.
- Arrange combined seeds, nuts and spices on a foil or baking paper lined tray.
- Combine sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat and stir, without boiling, until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to boil and boil rapidly until the syrup turns golden brown in colour. Pour quickly over spice mix. Cool and then process in the blender until lightly crushed.
