Method

Grease and flour 12 boat-shaped pastry cases. Roll out the pastry and line them. Bake blind for 12 to 15 minutes and leave to cool. Cream the filling ingredients until well-mixed. Pipe or spread it in the pastry cases and leave the filled boats in a cool place to firm up. Coat the top with lavender water ice and decorate with a few flaked almonds.
