• 5/8 cup ground almonds
• 9/16 cup powdered sugar
• 1 1/16 tablespoons milk
• 1 15/16 tablespoons flour
• 4 5/8 tablespoons egg whites
• 2 3/4 tablespoons sugar
• 7 tablespoons flaked almonds
• 3 egg yolks
• 7/8 cup caster sugar
• 1 15/16 cups mascarpone
• 1 1/4 cups milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons orange marmalade or raspberry jam
• 24 chocolate easter eggs mini

1. Preheat oven to 400F.
2. Mix the ground almonds, powdered sugar, milk, and flour together in a bowl.
3. Whisk the egg whites with 35 grams of sugar to stiff peaks.
4. Gently fold the dry mixture into the whisked egg whites.
5. Sprinkle almond flakes in the bottom of 8 flexible molds and distribute the batter between the molds.
