Almond & pistachio slices

Ingredients (serves 4-6)

• 200 g ground almonds
• 200 g sugar
• 150 ml single cream
• 75 g unsalted butter
• handful of almonds, chopped
• handful of pistachio nuts, chopped

Preparation

1. Melt the butter in a sauce pan, then add the cream, ground almonds and sugar, stirring well. On a low fire, keep stirring for some 10 minutes, taking care that the mixture doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
2. Increase the heat until the mixture becomes a little darker (careful!)
3. Turn off the fire and pour the mixture in a shallow (perhaps 2 cm deep) serving dish.
4. Smooth the top and sprinkle the roughly chopped almonds and pistachio nuts over it.
5. Put in a cold place and leave to set for about 1 hour. Serve cut into rectangular or diamond-shaped pieces.
