Toast the Nuts

The taste will be more intense if you toast almonds and hazelnuts, but that makes the recipe more complicated and the preparation takes longer. If you do, put the hazelnuts and almonds in a preheated oven at 300F, and toast them for about 15-20 minutes. Do not overcook them, because in that case they will be bitter. Try both versions, so stick to the one you like best.
