- 105g slivered almonds, coarsely chopped
- 100g white chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1 tbsp caster sugar
- 12 sheets filo pastry
- 60g unsalted butter, melted
- 225g white sugar
- 125ml water
- 5 cardamom pods, bruised

Instructions
- Place the almonds, chocolate and caster sugar in the bowl of a food processor and process until finely chopped.
- Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper. Place the filo on a clean work surface. Cover with a clean tea towel, then a damp tea towel (this will prevent it drying out). Brush 1 filo sheet with melted butter. Top with another filo sheet and brush with melted butter. Repeat with another filo sheet and melted butter. Cut into quarters. Spoon 1 tablespoonful of almond mixture along the centre of 1 narrow edge of each filo stack. Fold in sides and roll up to create a cigar shape. Place, seam-side down, on the lined tray and brush with melted butter. Repeat with remaining filo sheets, almond mixture and melted butter. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden.
- Meanwhile, place white sugar and water in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until the sugar dissolves. Add cardamom pods. Increase heat to high and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes or until syrup thickens. Stir in the lemon juice.
- Place cigars in a heatproof dish. Drizzle over the syrup. Serve.
