Almond cream - a simple taste of heaven

Almond cream, a very simple accompaniment for almost any dessert, but especially nice with Easter Cake or with any cake really.

Ingredients

• 300 ml of double cream, whipped just before stiff
• 60 grams of ground almonds
• a teaspoon of black current liquor
• three dessert spoons of icing sugar

Mix all the above together thoroughly.  Different liquors for different occasions and indeed, different ground nuts are just as good.  Avoid ground walnuts however, as this can make the cream very bitter and no amount of sugar will mask it.
