Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the milk to 37 o C. Add the all-purpose flour and the rennet. Stir until the mixture thickens.

  2. 2

    Let it stand until it separates into cheese and whey. Stir a few times so that the cheese separates from the whey.

  3. 3

    Strain the mixture and make certain virtually all of the whey is removed.

  4. 4

    Stir cream, granulated sugar, eggs and finely chopped almonds and bitter almonds into the 'cheese'.

  5. 5

    Pour the mixture into suitable buttered forms. Place the forms in a water bath and bake them at low heat in the oven (175 o C) until the mixture solidifies and acquires a light brown colour.
