Use this walnut cream to sandwich Linzer-style butter cookies or vanilla Christmas cookies, or to fill other desserts. Mix ground walnuts with powdered sugar and pour hot milk over them, stirring until the walnuts begin to turn pale. Finally, mix in a tablespoon of rum, a little vanilla sugar, and softened butter. The walnuts, sugar, and butter are used in equal amounts, making the recipe easy to remember.

Instructions
Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.
Grind the walnuts in a meat grinder, mix them with the sugar, and pour the hot milk over them. Stir until the walnuts begin to turn pale.
Stir in the rum, then add the softened butter and beat until creamy. Use the filling to sandwich Linzer-style butter cookies or to fill desserts.
Tip: Let the scalded walnuts cool completely before beating in the butter; it would melt in the warm mixture and make the filling runny. Store the filled cookies in a cool place.
