Recipe presentation

Today is one of those days I think about my grandma and I miss her like the air.

For this reason I honored her with a cake.

With care and without scruple, I made it with “scientific” love and nostalgia.

Method

Torta della nonna

I made the pastry with the cold butter.

I mixed and wrapped and let rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.

I prepared the cream.

I buttered a baking tin, I add a layer of pastry and I pitted it.

I poured the cream and covered with other pastry.

Then I scattered the pine nuts and the icing sugar.

I baked in preheated oven at 170 degrees for 50 minutes.

Then for 10 minutes at 180 degrees.
