Preparation

Step

Of 3

Separate Eggs and Whip Whites

Meticulously separate the egg whites from the yolks to avoid any fat contamination, which could hinder the whipping process.
Reserve the egg yolks for later incorporation. Using an electric mixer or balloon whisk, beat the egg whites to stiff peaks, ensuring maximum aeration for optimal dessert lift and texture.

Formulate the Almond Milk Mixture

In a medium saucepan, dissolve the almond paste fully into 300 ml of whole milk over low heat, stirring continuously to achieve a smooth, uniform mixture.
Incorporate the remaining milk and gently heat until the mixture is evenly warmed, not boiling. Off the heat, integrate the reserved egg yolks, whisking immediately and thoroughly to achieve a cohesive batter without curdling.

Integrate Components and Bake

Sift the flour into the almond-milk-egg mixture, whisking to eliminate clumps and ensure even distribution.
Delicately fold the previously whipped egg whites into the base, taking care to preserve as much volume as possible for a light, airy result.
Transfer the completed batter into a shallow baking dish approximately 3 cm deep. Place in a preheated oven at 150°C (302°F) and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the surface is lightly golden. Allow to cool prior to serving to optimize flavor development and structural integrity.

A Tuscan special!

I remember going to Poppi one day, just outside Florence, with my italian mother-in-law, to buy some terracotta vases, and we stopped in a cafe where she was so excited to find lattaiolo, as apparently it's not so common these days! She was right, it was amazing, and this recipe came out just as good!
