Alternative methods to make Almond cream

You can add the ingredients in stages, starting with butter and sugar, mixing until creamy. Then add the almonds and continue mixing. Finish with eggs and vanilla and mix gently until everything is finely blended.

If you have large almonds, a good choice is to grind them in a food process first and you can immediately continue to add the rest of the ingredients there. If you decide to mix by hand, you can use either softened butter or melt the butter first, then add sugar and then the other ingredients.
