nut filling

Almond cream inside

Nut filling is a sweet paste made from ground nuts—typically walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, or pecans—mixed with sugar and often bound with egg, honey, or butter.

It appears in pastries like baklava, rugelach, and strudel: She spread the nut filling over the dough before rolling it.

The texture ranges from coarse and chunky to smooth and spreadable.
