  • 200 ml of fresh cream
  • 50 ml of whole milk
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 60 g of granulated sugar

Ingredients for the almond biscuit:

Preparation of the coffee creamy:

  3. In a bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar until you have a frothy and pale mixture.
  4. Gradually pour the hot cream and milk mixture over the yolks, stirring continuously.
  5. Transfer the mixture back into the pot and cook over low heat until it reaches a slightly thickened consistency (custard).
  6. Remove the cream from the heat and add the squeezed and well-dissolved gelatine (or the prepared fish glue), mix well to fully incorporate.
  7. Add the espresso coffee and stir to blend it into the cream.
  8. Pour the mixture into molds and let cool in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until it is well set.

Preparation of the almond biscuit:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
  2. Mix chopped almonds, icing sugar, and flour in a bowl.
  3. Whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt into stiff peaks.
  4. Gently fold the egg whites into the almond mixture until smooth.
  5. Spread the dough on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for about 10-15 minutes or until golden.
  6. Let it cool and then cut the biscuits into the shape you prefer.
