Almond milk

This Saturday, we went to really nice restaurant in the city of San Francisco, with mediterranean cuisine. The food was really good, and for dessert we ordered doughnut holes with chocolate sauce, and almond milk. The almond milk was the best part of the dessert! Served in a shot glass with a straw and almond pieces on the top, it was simply delicious! I decided to replicate the almond milk coz we both loved it so much! I made the almond milk as below and it turned out to be as delicious as the one in the restaurant.


Ingredients:

1 cup half and half
1 scoop vanilla bean icecream
1/3 cup blanched almonds


Method:

Make a fine paste of the blanched almonds. Blend the paste, with the icecream and the half and half together in a blender. Strain the almond milk through a sieve, and the chilled almond milk is ready for dessert! Yummo!
