Sure no problem, you could do it with any other nuts. If you don’t have any at all you can also just add 50g extra flour to substitute if needed

What Our Students Say
Brilliant courses with some amazing desserts. I am so pleased with myself, because I actually made the Apple Mousse and it tasted delicious. Looking forward to creating the Contemporary Apple Crumble, Walnut & Apple Blossom cake… Yummy!
CEO - MIX AND BLEND CATERINGAn amazing resource for aspiring and experienced pastry chefs. Ben’s recipes provide fresh ideas and the knowledge base teaches the theory that they failed to teach you in culinary school.
BOURNEMOUTHReally enjoying the members area, the weekly prompts have kept me on track when i’ve been slacking!! An amazing resource run by a very knowledgeable team who make everything look easy and lead to great results. Couldn’t recommend more!
