Note

The ingredient "almo" refers to almonds. Ensure they are blanched and finely chopped for the best texture.

For a fully vegan version, substitute the honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.

A pinch of ground cinnamon can be added for extra warmth and spice, though it is not listed in the main ingredients.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of water to restore moisture.
