There are many variants of the recipe of this famous American dessert. I like this, very quick and easy to create I found on the official website of famous British chef, restaurateur and cookery books Jamie Oliver. There are similar recipes, but I want to give you the original recipe Jamie translated into the Russian language, with its own adjustments in performance, mostly minor, except one: the Jamie recipe uses roasted chestnuts!) Honestly, never tried, replacing the chestnuts with almonds. If anyone interested and will try to bring to life this original version - share impressions) I'm not a big fan of chestnuts, so performing is more familiar to our cooks the option of nuts.
