Almond and Pistachio Dessert



Ingredients
4 tbsp Unsalted Butter.
1 cup ground Almonds.
2/3 cup single (light) Cream.
1 cup Sugar.
8 Almonds, chopped.
10 Pistachio Nuts, chopped.

Method:
Place the butter in a medium-sized saucepan, preferably non-stick. Melt the butter, stirring well. Gradually add the ground almonds, cream & sugar to the melted butter, stirring to combine. Reduce the heat & stir the mixture constantly for 10-12 minutes, scraping the bottom of the pan. Increase the heat until the mixture turns a little darker in colour. Transfer the almond mixture to a shallow serving dish & smooth the top of it. Decorate the top of the dessert with chopped almonds and pistachios. Leave the dessert to set for about 1 hour, then cut into diamond shapes or with variety of shaped pastry cutters of your choice & serve cold.
