Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 2 min.

Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

Put 3 eggs and 270 g caster sugar into a large bowl and mix.

Stage 2 - 2 min.

Add 600 g ground almonds and mix again. This should give you a fairly thick paste.

Weigh out pieces of about 1 oz (30 g), roll into balls and arrange on a sheet of cooking parchment (or a silicon mat, as shown in the photo), laid on a baking sheet.

Stage 4

Pinch each ball between your fingers twice, at right angles, to give a pyramid shape.

Dip your fingers in cold water if the mixture begins to stick.

Stage 5 - 4 min.

Make all the pyramids like this.

Stage 6 - 20 min.

Bake for about 20 minutes.

Stage 7

Leave to cool on a wire rack.

Remarks

Depending on the size of your egg, you might need to adjust the quantity of ground almonds.

Passion fruit jellies

Usually to make fruit jellies or (fruit "paste"), it's like jam but you need to cook fruit pulp and sugar much longer. Unfortunately, this long cooking is bad for both vitamins and flavour. In this recipe we use a special jam gelling agent, to reduce cooking time as much as possible .
