    Hi! Does anyone have a recipie for an Almond Cream Pie?
    
    Here's a great recipie for ALMOND ROCHA:
    
    250 ml sliced almonds
     50 ml ground almonds
    250 ml unsalted butter
    325 ml granulated sugar
     50 ml water
     15 ml white corn syrup
    250 ml semisweet chocolate chips
    
    On separate baking pans, spread sliced & ground almonds.
    Bake in 400 degrees F oven for 2-3 minutes for ground, 
    and 3-4 minutes for sliced almonds, or until lightly toasted.
    Watch carefully, they burn quickly. Set ground almonds aside:
    spread sliced almonds in lightly buttered 13 X 9" pan.
    In saucepan, combine butter, sugar, water & corn syrup. Cook,
    stirring over med. heat until candy thermometer registers
    270-290 degrees. Immediately pour evenly over sliced amonds,
    smoothing with back of spoon. Let cool until syrup is firm 
    but still hot, about 2 minutes. 
    Sprinkle with chocolate chips; spread smoothly with back
    of a dry, metal spoon. Sprinkle with ground almonds. Let
    stand or refrigerate until chocolate is firm. Using tip of
    knife, break into pieces. 
    Makes about 750 g

    Enjoy!
