1. Place whole almonds in a food processor. Cover and process to make a smooth butter; set aside.

This was ok--it was difficult making the almond butter, so it wasn't smooth (maybe suggest buying almond butter to use). The sauce is amazing, will probably make that again but the panna cotta itself just wasn't up to par.
