A good recipe for those special occasions.
- 100gm Almonds, ground
- 75 gm Caster Sugar (honey)
- 250 gm Dark Chocolate
- 150 gm Butter
- 5 Eggs, separate
Over a double steamer, melt the chocolate, butter and sugar. Remove from the heat and let stand, add ground almonds and Beat in egg yolks one by one.

Baked Apples for 4 - gluten free desert
- 4 Large Green Apples, Cored, skins on if organic.
Sit the apples in 0.5cm of water, in a ceramic/glass baking dish. - 2/3 cup of coarsely chopped pecans
- ½ cup sultanas
- 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon of cloves
- ½ cup apple or mandarin juice
Mix all ingredients together and stuff into the apples. Some of the mix will fall to the outside of the apples - That's okay because it's still nice to eat. Put any left over juice over the tops of the apples. Bake in a moderate oven until the apples are soft but not puffed out too much - usually About 30-40 mins. Serve hot.
It's easy with this recipe to experiment and create variations - Try cranberries mixed with sultanas, or substitute pecans for walnuts.
