ALMOND FILO SNAKE
Sweet and crunchy - and looks great on the plate, too! A sweet ending to a Moroccan meal! You can use butter in place of the oils, but watch carefully to prevent burning. It will also alter the taste considerably.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F Lightly grease an 8 inch round springform pan.
- Place all of the almonds in a bowl with the confectioners sugar. Put the egg white in a small bowl and lightly beat with a fork. Add to the almonds with the lemon zest, essence and rosewater. Mix to a paste.
- Divide the mixture in to thirds and roll each portion into a sausage shape about 18 inches long and 1/2 inch thick.
- If the paste is too sticky to roll, add some confectioners sugar to the work surface.
- Mix the two oils in a small bowl. Remove 1 sheet of filo and cover the rest with a damp towel to keep from drying out. Brush the sheet of filo with the oils, then cover with 2 more oiled sheets.
- Place 1 almond "snake" along the length of the oiled pastry and roll up to enclose the filling. Form into a coil and place the coil in the center of the oiled pan. Repeat and use oil to join the "snakes" and continue shaping to make a large coil.
- Add the cinnamon to the egg yolk and brush over the snake. Bake for 30 minutes, then remove the side of the pan and turn the snake over. Bake for another 10 minutes to crisp the base.
- Dust with confectioners sugar, cut into wedges and serve warm.
- NOTE: The snake will keep for up to 3 days, but should not be refrigerated.

Steps:
- To Make the Orange-Almond Paste:
- Combine the almonds, confectioners' sugar, cinnamon, and cardamom in a food processor or blender and pulse to grind into a coarse meal. Add the butter and egg yolks and pulse until blended. Scrape the paste into a bowl, and stir in the orange-flower water, orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla. Divide the paste into 12 balls, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Set the balls on a work surface dusted with confectioners' sugar. Roll each one into a 3 1/2-inch-long log. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- To Assemble the Cake:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a large baking sheet. Dust a work surface with confectioners' sugar. Place a sheet of phyllo pastry on the sugared work surface, and fold it in thirds to form a 4- by 17-inch rectangle. Brush the sheet with melted butter. Add another folded phyllo sheet, brush with butter, and repeat, until you have four buttered sheets.
- Set four orange-almond paste logs in a row down one long end of the phyllo, and roll the pastry up over them into a cylinder. Fold over the ends and brush on some melted butter to seal the seams. Shape the cylinder into a small, tight coil and place on the baking sheet, seam side down.
- Repeat to prepare two more phyllo rolls. Add each to the end of the coil on the baking sheet, forming a large coil.
- Combine the egg yolks, water, and cinnamon. Brush the mixture over the top of the cake.
- To Bake:
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden. Remove the cake from the oven, and let cool on the baking sheet.
- To Serve:
- Stir together the confectioners' sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle on the cake, and top with sliced almonds.
Tips:
- Use fresh filo pastry. Fresh filo pastry is more pliable and easier to work with than frozen filo pastry. If you are using frozen filo pastry, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before using.
- Work quickly. Filo pastry dries out quickly, so it is important to work quickly when assembling the snake. If you need to take a break, cover the filo pastry with a damp cloth to prevent it from drying out.
- Be careful not to overfill the snake. If you overfill the snake, it will be difficult to roll and seal. Aim to fill the snake with about 1/2 cup of filling.
- Bake the snake until it is golden brown. The snake should be baked until it is golden brown and crispy. This will take about 20-25 minutes.
- Serve the snake warm. The snake is best served warm, but it can also be served at room temperature.
Conclusion:
The almond filo snake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its crispy filo pastry and sweet almond filling, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dessert, give the almond filo snake a try.
