Almond Cantucci

These sweet, crunchy biscuits can be found in pasticcerie (or cake shops) across Italy. Baked until crisp for a satisfying snap and laden with almonds, ours are made by a family bakery outside Firenze.

Perfect with your coffee or, as per the Tuscan tradition, served with Vin Santo at the end of a meal. These nutty treats can be also enjoyed with ice cream, creating a very interesting contrast of textures, or used crumbled to decorate puddings and semifreddo desserts.
