I
toast then coarsely chop my filberts (hazelnuts)- and you could use so many different yummy crunchies here - pine nuts, pecans,
toasted slivered almonds, even croutons of day old crusty bread... for those watching their saturated fat, use evaporated skim milk
instead of the cream - just as yummy!
Chances are that if I make this, it will be with
toasted,
slivered almonds instead of macadamia nuts, but that has to do with the nutritional profile of
almonds and the fact that macadamia nuts in bulk aren't in my grocery store.
