RECIPE:
Ingredients:
For the crust:
300g (2.5 cups – 1 tbsp) flour
75g (⅝ cup) ground almond
75g (2/3 cup) powdered sugar
200g (7.05 oz) cold butter
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch salt
For the cream:
400g (14.1 oz) mascarpone or cream cheese
400ml (1⅔ cups) heavy cream
150g (1⅓ cups) powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
For decoration:
Macaroons, strawberries, raspberries, meringue Kisses, chocolates, flowers and more.

Directions:
1. In a food processor, process cold cubed butter, flour, ground almond, powdered sugar and pinch salt. Process until crumbs are formed. Add egg and vanilla extract, process until dough is formed.
2. Transfer the dough to a work surface, pat into a ball and flatten into a disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour.
3. Preheat oven to 180C/375F
4. Roll out the dough on a parchment paper. Refrigerate for 30 minutes and cut your number/letter/shape. From the leftovers roll again the dough, refrigerate for 30 minutes and cut another number/letter/shape. For one cake you will need two layers of biscuit.
5. Bake for 10-13 minutes or until slightly golden in the edges. Let cool completely.
6. Make the cream: in a large bowl beat mascarpone and powdered sugar. Beat until smooth. Add vanilla extract and heavy cream and beat to stiff peaks. Transfer to a piping bag.
7. Pipe the mascarpone cream over the first biscuit, then gently place the second biscuit on top. Pipe the remaining cream and decorate as you like.
