For a richer flavor, consider using marcona almonds. A drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of sea salt can elevate the taste profile. If crème fraîche is unavailable, substitute with mascarpone cheese or Greek yogurt for a tangier twist. To easily toast almonds, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and golden brown. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
