- Biscotten Torte
-
- 3/4 lb oblong biscuits (she has "Nice?" written here, this is perhaps
- a name brand?)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons rum
- 1/2 cup milk
- 4 ounces butter
- 1/2 cup castor sugar
- 2 eggs
- 4 ounces ground almonds
- few drops almond essence
- extra 1/2 cup milk
- toasted slivered almonds
-
- Cream butter & sugar until light. Separate eggs (hm, she doesn't say how
- far -- at least she doesn't instruct us to pinch the salt). Beat yolks
- into creamed mixture. Add ground almonds, almond essence and extra 1/2
- cup milk. Beat whites stiffly & fold in.
-
- Arrange the biscuits in 2 rows lengthwise. Dunk in rum and milk (just)
- and spread with almond mixture and then more biscuits. Continue and on
- top layer put a layer of almond and then cover each with whipped cream
- and toasted almonds. Keep chilled until ready to serve.
-
- Hm, instructions are a little confusing. I'll ask her next time I see her
- if I can remember, but I think it might be easier to drizzle the rum/milk
- mixture on the biscuits rather than to dunk them. Whatever.
