Blend the amaretti and almonds in the mixer (keep a few almonds on the side for decoration) until finely grated.

Roll out the dough and cover a large tart mould (23cm diameter), but keep 1/4 on the side to later make the lattice.

Dust the dough with 2/3 of the amaretti and almonds, then cover with the roughly chopped plums. work the remaining amaretti and almonds with a couple of spoonfuls of liqueur, dust on top of the plums. Place the whole almonds for decoration.

Roll out the remaining dough and cut some long strips, place on the tart to form a lattice.

Cook at 180* for 40 minutes. Once cool, dust with icing sugar.
