- 500g whole almonds

Place your pot back on the heat and allow to cook for another few minutes. Then add the almonds. Whisk the egg white into a stiff and firm foam and delicately fold it to the caramelized almond mixture.
Take a well greased oven tray and pour this mixture onto it.
Bake into a preheated oven at its maximum 10 minutes.
