Kitchen tips:

* The nut base will be fluffier and drier if you replace all or part of the walnuts with hazelnuts. They are cheaper and more convenient because they come already grated. Keep the nuts in the freezer, then they keep longer and do not go rancid so quickly.

* For guests (without kids), make a tasty alcoholic

spread.

You can also mix the whipped cream with cranberries and refine the nut base with grated semi-sweet chocolate.

* Instead of the nut base, a lower-calorie buckwheat sponge cake with a slightly bitter taste is delicious. Ingredients: 4 eggs, 80 g honey, a little vanilla sugar, 125 g buckwheat and 25 g whole wheat flour. **) A
