Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Gluten-free puff pastry
- 100 grams Ground almonds
- 100 grams Ground hazelnuts
- 80 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 milliliters Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 large Egg whites

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine ground almonds, ground hazelnuts, and granulated sugar.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk over low heat until warm. Add the almond extract and vanilla extract, stir to combine.
Pour the milk mixture over the nut mixture and stir well until a paste forms.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then gently fold them into the nut paste.
Roll out the gluten-free puff pastry on a floured surface to about 3mm thickness, cut into large triangles.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of nut filling onto the wide end of each triangle, then roll up to form a crescent shape.
Place the nussgipfel on the prepared baking sheet, brush with melted butter.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Let cool slightly and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
