Almond Cream

Xien RenLu

250g almond paste or marzipan

250ml semi-skimmed milk

450ml(3/4 pint) water

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Using a food processor or blender for grinding almonds can make them taste bitter. But to save grinding by hand, use ready-made almond paste for this fragrant sweet dessert.

1. Break up the almond paste with your fingers. Combine it with the milk, water and vanilla extractin a medium-sized saucepan and simmer for 15 minutes.

2. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve. Serve in individual soup bowls or a large soup tureen. It can be served either hot or cold.
