Delicioso postre de avellanas con gusto a café. / Delicious postre de avellanas with a café flavor. [ESP / ENG]
There are some recipes that are difficult to adapt to local cuisine.
Sometimes via the ingredients.
And sometimes via the name itself.
This Italian dessert is originally called ** Mattoncini al caffé ** (mattoncini in Spanish stands for ** little bricks **)
Obviously to title a recipe ** hazelnut bricks with coffee ** could sound a little strange so I decided to rename it with the name that you see in the title.
Once this clarification has been made and its origin revealed, step by step to develop the recipe, as usual.
Almonds, hazelnuts and also walnuts are the dried fruits that are no longer suitable for desserts.
Of the almonds we had talked about in this recipe:
Tarta de limón y queso con pasas, almendras y ron. / Lemon and cheese tart with raisins, almonds and rum. [ESP/ENG] |
