• 12 tablespoons salted butter
• 2 tablespoons plain bread crumbs
• 1 1/2 cups almonds plain, sliced
• 1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup granulated sugar divided
• 6 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons coffee concentrate
• 2 tablespoons confectioner's sugar

2. Spread the bread crumbs along the bottom of the pan. Set aside.
3. Heat a small skillet over low heat and add almonds. Stir and toast for 5 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from heat to a food processor. Let cool for 5 min. Lightly process until finely ground. Set aside.
4. In a microwave safe bowl, add chocolate chips and melt. Set aside to cool slightly.
5. In 2 medium bowls, separate 6 egg yolks from whites of eggs; set aside egg whites. Add 3/4-cup sugar to egg yolks. Mix on high speed for 3 minutes with a hand mixer.
6. Add coffee and chocolate, slightly blend until smooth. Mix in the almonds by hand, until combined.
