Diagnosis: Ingredients

Gritty / Sandy Mouthfeel

"The dessert feels grainy on the tongue."

1The Technical Cause

This is usually caused by "Almond Meal" (ground with skins) instead of "Blanched Super-Fine Almond Flour", or by undissolved granulated sugar.

2The Professional Fix

Switch to a blanched, super-fine almond flour. Sift your flour twice before measuring to ensure no large particles remain.
