5. 
   Setting aside the nut quarters for decoration, place the rest in the chopper. Add 1.5 cups granulated sugar and spices to taste.
6. 
   Grind the products into crumbs.
7. 
   Cut the chilled dough into pieces. Their number depends on the size of the baking sheet and the desired height of the dessert. In this case, cut the dough into 4 parts.
8. 
   After dusting the surface with flour, roll out the pieces into thin layers of the size corresponding to the size of the mold.
9. 
   Divide the filling into 3 parts. Grease a baking sheet with oil. Place the dough and sprinkle with an even layer of filling. Alternating layers, we assemble the dessert.

    Mix 1 yolk with a spoonful of ice water and coat the surface. Place walnut quarters on top of each diamond, pressing down slightly.
