How to Make Almond Cream Crema Di Mandorle

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter.

  5. Spread the almond mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.

  13. Sprinkle with the reserved almond crumbs.
  14. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set, before serving.
