Tiramisu with almonds
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. To make almond tiramisu, I use raw almonds, grind them in a blender, and add to the cream. You can also decorate the finished dessert with almond slices. Feel free to replace the liqueur with cognac or brandy; sometimes I just use strong brewed coffee and don't add any alcohol. You may add berries to taste, though this is completely optional. The ready dessert can now be served.

Brew the coffee, mix it with the liqueur, then let it cool and pour it into a bowl. Dip each savoiardi into the bowl for just a couple of seconds: the biscuits absorb the liquid very quickly.

If you have any berries at home, feel free to add them to the dessert. I made two versions: one with strawberries and one without berries. The one with strawberries was eaten before we even had time to properly admire it!
