-
Preheat oven to 350ºF/180ºC. Spread almonds on baking sheet and toast in the oven for 8-10 minutes until fragrant. Allow to cool.
-
Process almonds, dark chocolate, granulated sugar and cocoa powder in a food processor until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
-
Heat milk until just before simmering.
-
Remove from the heat stir in the almond mixture along with the rum and cinnamon. Set aside until cool then stir in the egg yolk.
-
In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites and salt until stiff peaks form.
-
Fold a couple of spoonfuls of egg white into the almond and chocolate mixture to lighten it.
-

- The pans are sold as “egg tart pans” on Amazon and measure 2.75*1.96*0.94inch/7*5*2.4cm.
- Salted butter can be used. Simply omit the added salt.
- Whole milk is preferable however 2% will work fine. Non dairy milk is another option.
