Ingredients
- 250 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 200 milliliters Heavy cream
- 50 grams Sugar
- 3 tablespoons Amaretto liqueur
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 50 grams Crushed amaretti cookies
- 1 teaspoon Cocoa powder
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the mixture until it is smooth and the sugar is fully incorporated.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip to avoid turning it into butter.
Step 3
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture using a spatula. Add the amaretto liqueur and fold until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Take 4 serving glasses or bowls. Sprinkle a layer of crushed amaretti cookies at the bottom of each glass.
Step 5
Spoon the amaretto cream mixture evenly into the glasses over the cookie layer.
Step 6
Sprinkle a pinch of cocoa powder over each serving for a subtle chocolate finish.
Step 7
Chill the glasses in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set.
Step 8
Before serving, garnish with additional crushed amaretti cookies and fresh mint leaves, if desired.
