Elevate almond friands with vodka-infused red berries and creme fraiche for a sophisticated touch.
Ingredients:
  • 1 x 500g pkt frozen mixed berries (Creative Gourmet brand)
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) vanilla-flavoured vodka
  • 2 tsp finely shredded fresh mint
  • Creme fraiche, to serve
  • Melted butter, to grease
  • 185g (1 1/2 cups) icing sugar mixture
  • 150g (1 cup) plain flour
  • 100g (1 cup) almond meal
  • 5 egg whites
  • 180g butter, melted
  • 20.00 ml flaked almonds
Instructions:
  • Combine the vibrant berries with the smooth vodka in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Seal with plastic wrap and let it sit for 2 hours to infuse.
  • Preheat your oven to 200°C. Grease eight 125ml (1/2-cup) oval friand pans with melted butter and place them on a baking tray.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the icing sugar, flour, and almond meal. Stir in the egg whites and butter until just combined. Divide the batter into prepared pans and top with almonds before baking.
  • Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centers comes out clean. Let cool in pans for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly.
  • Stir fresh mint into the berry mixture to infuse a burst of freshness. Serve the warm friands alongside a medley of mixed berries and a dollop of creamy creme fraiche.
