Tip
If you prefer, you can use activate or roasted almonds instead of the raw almonds.
The pie dish or tart tin can be substituted with 6-8 smaller individual tart tins.
For a lovely flavour variation, you might like to substitute the lemon juice with half lemon juice and half lime juice.

Delicious!
Very average pastry was bland and grainy it also leaked, however Lemon curd was delicious
I loved the base, and the filling turned out perfect to our taste with half lime half lemon as per Louise's tip.
It was very runny out of the TM bowl, so I didnt strain it. The base didnt leak & held it well turned out perfect!
