Toschi’s almond syrup is usually used to make drinks such as “almond milk”. I thought about using it to prepare cups of delicious desserts. I have an old apricot tree in my yard and every year we plan to cut it down because it produces few fruits that are mostly eaten by birds or other insects. This year’s its branches were unexpectedly full of perfectly ripe apricots and so the apricots gave me the idea for this recipe.
