ALMOND SPICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Mix milk, almond meal, sugar, cinnamon, espresso powder, and cardamom in a large saucepan; bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring often, over low heat until slightly thickened, 20 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Chill in refrigerator until thickened, at least 3 hours.

PLUM & ALMOND PUDDING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Toss the plums, cinnamon, lemon zest and brandy, if using, together in a bowl, then leave to macerate while you make the batter.
• Cream the butter and sugar with an electric whisk until pale and fluffy, add the eggs one at a time, then tip in the flour and ground almonds. Mix until completely combined.
• Tip the fruit into a buttered shallow baking dish, spoon over the cake batter, then sprinkle over the flaked almonds. Bake for 35-40 mins until browned and cooked through. Test if the pudding is ready by inserting a skewer. If it comes out clean, the pudding is ready; if there is some batter on the skewer, then give it a few mins more. Remove from the oven and serve warm with clotted cream.

ALMOND PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• In an electric mixer, beat the egg yolks until foamy. Add the sugar and mix until the egg yolks are very pale and fluffy. Add the almonds and the extract, if using, and mix until well blended.
• In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
• Fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture and turn into an 8-inch souffle dish or springform pan that has been greased and then floured with matzoh meal. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden. The pudding will rise slightly during cooking; it will settle as it cools. Let cool slightly.
• Top with fresh strawberries or strawberry puree and serve.

• Stir in the sugar and chopped almonds or pistachio nuts, continue stirring till the sugar has dissolved. Cool for 30 minutes; stir pudding. Stir in the rose water, if desired.
• Spoon the mixture into 4 to 6 sherbet or dessert dishes. Chill in the refrigerator. To serve, sprinkle with ground nutmeg and garnish each serving with 2 whole strawberries.

• Arrange the fruit mixture in a greased gratin or other oven-to-table dish 10 to 11 inches long and 2 inches deep.
• Beat all the topping ingredients together in a bowl until they form a smooth mixture, then spread on top of the apple mixture.
