The best way to start the day is with a good breakfast and a nice cup of coffee. Yesterday I was inspired by this decadent recipe and I wanted to start the day with a treat even though I knew that to burn all those calories I had to workout more than usual. I think once in a while is worth to have a breakfast like this. Ideally is better to prepare it with a brioche loaf but I did not have the time to bake it and I used what I had at home. I hope you enjoy it too.

Almond syrup
1/2 cup of custard sugar
