Almonds are my secret weapon on Pesach. You can turn almonds into flour, butter, milk and even a paste. Roasting almonds with some sugar creates a wonderful snack and makes a great addition to desserts, salads, and breakfast yogurt. Combining almond milk with chocolate is simply decadent, and makes an easy, good-for-you dessert poured over fresh fruit such as banana. I love using almond flour in place of potato starch in baked goods as it provides a nuttier and fluffier texture than potato starch does, and almond paste makes unbelievable cookies. You can easily use store-bought almond products in all the recipes below but I have provided recipes for making your own almond flour, butter, milk, and paste for those of you who cannot find it in your local store, or make everything at home for Pesach.
