If you cannot find almond flour, you can also make it yourself by placing raw almonds in your food processor and pulsing until you have a flour-like structure.
There are more Christmas recipes where that came from! You can have a look at another delicious Christmas dessert: the Coconut Panna Cotta With Persimmon. Hand over heart you are going to love the rich flavours of my Punchy Pistachio Butternut Roast as a main. I was blown away myself if I may say so ;).
