Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.

Dough should form a ball and will be slightly sticky. Knead** on a floured surface, adding additional flour if necessary, until smooth and elastic, about 4 minutes.
- Pat dough with floured hands to fill greased pizza pan or baking sheet. OR roll dough on a floured counter to a 12-inch circle; place in greased pizza pan or baking sheet. Form a rim by pinching edge of the dough. Set aside.
- Combine the 1 cup almond milk with the ½ cup butter in a 2 quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat until mixture comes to a full boil and butter is melted (6-8 minutes).
- Remove from heat. Stir in 1 cup flour, return to heat and cook over low and stir constantly until mixture forms a ball. Remove from heat.
- Add eggs, one at a time with a wire whisk. Beat until smooth and glossy.
- Spread over pastry and bake 30 minutes or until surface is crisp. Cool completely. Look for a custard type top.
- Combine powdered sugar, butter in a small mixer bowl. Beat at low speed until mixed. Then at high. Use only enough almond milk for glazing. Spread glaze over pizza. Drizzle with raspberry puree (optional) and sprinkle with almonds .
