heavy cream

🥗Healthier: whipped coconut cream

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Coconut cream is dairy-free and lower in calories.

almond paste

🥗Healthier: marzipan

💰Cheaper: ground almonds + sugar

Marzipan can be a more cost-effective alternative.

Dissolve the yeast in the milk by hand or in a stand mixer.

Add the sugar and flour and work everything to an elastic dough, about 5 minutes in the stand mixer or 10 minutes by hand.

Cover the dough and leave to rise to double size at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Add the finish ingredients to the starter and work until the dough is shiny and elastic, about 15 minutes by hand or 10 minutes in a stand mixer.

Divide the dough into small pieces weighing about 70 grams each. Round-roll to smooth round buns and gently transfer them to a baking sheet covered with baking paper.

Leave the buns covered to rise to about double the size.

Toast the almonds gently, let them cool and then mix almonds and sugar into a smooth almond paste.

Mix all ingredients for the filling until it has come together to a nice smooth paste with some chunky almond bits.

Bake the buns in the middle of the oven at about 225°C (430°F) for about 10-13 minutes until golden. Let cool on a wire rack.

Cut the lids of the bun with scissors or a knife. Make a small well in the middle by taking some of the inside out with a fork.

Fill this hole with the filling; the larger the hole, the more filling.

Top with as much whipped cream as desired. Put the lid on gently and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
