Assalaamu alaikum Iva,
I’ve just recently come across your website and I love it – especially the cute printable banners etc. you make :D
Do you know what else can be used instead of almond meal or gelatine?
Belated Ramadan Mubarak – hope you’re having a wonderful Ramadan :)
Waalaikumsalam Zara,
You can just use plain flour instead of the almond meal and for the gelatine, you can whip the cream first and then add the ingredients. Although I am not sure if it will set fully.
Jazakallahu Khaiyran Iva – hopefully it will set *fingers crossed* :)
