Crispy texture and sweet taste of this dessert is definitely something to look forward to at the New Year's table. The true delight may be not limited to winter holidays time, but are definitely shaping the vibe of the celebration.

You may find walnuts in many Georgian dishes. Desserts aren’t an exception. Gozinaki are made only from walnuts and honey. Other combinations of ingredients would have non-Georgian roots. What you need is to fry some walnuts, chop them, mix with heated honey and let them freeze. Then you cut a gozinaki cake with a hot knife and voila - traditional healthy dessert is ready.
