Ingredients

1 1/4 cup almond meal (ground almonds)

1 cup plain flour

100 gram butter, melted

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar

3/4 cup unsalted macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped

300 millilitre cream

1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

1/4 cup icing sugar, plus extra, to dust

400 gram can sliced peaches in natural syrup, drained

Method

1.Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan forced. Grease a 20cm (base measurement) round ceramic pie plate. Line base with baking paper. Lightly grease a baking tray.

2.Combine almond meal, flour, butter and brown sugar in a bowl. Press half the mixture evenly over base of prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Cool.

3.Meanwhile, add macadamias to remaining almond meal mixture; stir to combine. Scatter over prepared tray. Bake, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until golden. Cool.

4.Using an electric mixer, beat cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Fold in vanilla and 1/4 cup icing sugar until combined. Spoon half the cream over cooked almond base. Arrange peaches over cream. Top with remaining cream. Top with macadamia mixture. Serve dusted with extra icing sugar.

You can use vanilla essence instead of paste. No almond meal? Process flaked almonds in a food processor until finely ground. Add 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon to almond mixture.
