While the eggs are whipping, pulverize the almonds in the mixer, together with the starch, icing sugar, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Finely grate the white chocolate and lemon zest and add them to the almond mixture.

Pour in the almond oil and Limoncello, continuing to mix briefly, until the mixture is homogeneous.
