They’re nutty, nutritious, and super straightforward. Also known as almond paste or almond milk paste, almond pulp is the byproduct of making almond milk at home. It typically needs to be dried (layer the pulp on a baking tray and bake at 180°F/80°C for a couple of hours), then blend until it looks like flour. Once you have that, you can use it to make all kinds of tasty treats. From chocolatey cookies to savory crackers and even hearty dips, these almond pulp recipes are easy, versatile, and scrumptious.
