One serving is approximately tablespoon

VARIATIONS:

You could use other types of nuts in place of the macadamia nuts The nuts that puree to the smoothest cream

are macadamia nuts pine nuts (an excellent choice with a very good flavor as long as they are not smoky pine nuts;

refer to the pine nut listing in the "Glossary of Ingredients" (at the beginning of this book) for more information)

pecans walnuts and cashews Almonds brazil nuts and hazelnuts still have some grit even when pureed for a

long time; therefore these may not be the best nuts to use but if you don't mind a little grit give them a try You

can also try to put the cream of these grittier nuts through a cheese cloth but with such a thick cream I have not

had the best of luck doing this; the straining either does not take out anything or it take out too much of the

body of the cream leaving the resulting cream too thin and without the creamy texture desired

As the sweetener any combination of unrefined sweeteners (maple syrup brown rice syrup barley malt syrup

agave syrup etc) can be used and in varying amounts depending on your tastes (see "Dessert Notes" for more

information about sweeteners)
