Almond Diamonds

Recipe Ingredients:

75 gm unsalted butter

200 gm ground almonds

200 gm sugar

150 ml double cream

8 almonds, chopped

10 pistachio nuts, chopped

How to Prepare:

Melt butter in a heavy-base saucepan, preferably non-stick, stirring well. Add the ground almonds, sugar and cream, stir well. Reduce the heat and stir constantly for 10-12 minutes, scraping the base of the saucepan.

Increase the heat untill the mixture turns to little darker in colour.

Transfer the almond mixture to a large, shallow serving dish and smooth the top with the back of a spoon.

Decorate the top of the dessert with the chopped almonds and pistachio nuts. Leave to set for 1 hour or preferably overnight, then cut into diamond shapes and serve cold.
