Tips & Tricks:
These types of recipes are best prepared using machines. They do all the chopping and mixing for you and it makes you life a lot easier. Especially when it come to finely chopping nuts.
You can make this recipe less healthy by adding sugar instead of your sugar substitute but it won't change much on the taste.
You can decorate this with almond slices
