- Preparation: 100 min
- Cooking: 40 min
- Makes: 1 serving (88.1 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian, Gluten-free
- Contains: alcohol, dairy, egg, nut
Ingredients
- 16.5 g Almonds, finely ground
- 16.5 g Sugar, powdered (icing sugar)
- 0.3 g Baking powder
- 11 g Egg whites, raw
- 6 g Egg yolks, raw
- 8.5 g Sugar
- 16.5 g Cream, heavy (whipping)
- 12.5 g Butter, unsalted, soft
- 0.3 g Vanilla extract
Method
- Heat the oven to 175°C. Grease a 24 cm springform tin and line the base with baking paper.
- Mix the ground almonds with the icing sugar and baking powder. Whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks and fold in the almond mixture gently, so the whites keep their air.
- Spread the mixture in the tin and bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden and dry on top. Let it cool in the tin; it sinks a little.
- For the cream, whisk the egg yolks, sugar and cream in a saucepan and heat gently, whisking all the time, for 8-10 minutes, until thick like custard; it must not boil. Let it cool completely, stirring now and then.
- Beat the soft butter until pale and creamy, then beat in the cold egg cream a spoonful at a time, with the vanilla, to a smooth, thick yellow cream.
- Spread the cream over the cooled base, leaving a narrow edge free, and chill for at least 1 hour. Cut into 12 slices.
