Almond Dessert
Description
The recipe won't take much time. I love this dessert also because it doesn't require baking! You can safely replace almonds with other nuts, for example, hazelnuts, or even use a mix of several kinds—this way you'll get a new flavor each time. You can use milk or white chocolate. Adjust the recipe to your taste and enjoy. Serve chilled.
