Ingredients

1/3 cup amaretto liqueur
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup heavy cream
1 (8-ounce) packet amaretti morbidi (soft almond macaroons)

Directions

Pour the amaretto liqueur into a bowl with the sugar and lemon juice and whisk to mix.

Whisk in the heavy cream and whip this mixture until it has thickened but is still soft and billowy.

Crumble 2 little amaretti biscuits into each of the 4 glasses (each with a yield of about 2/3 cup).

Divide the syllabub between the glasses on top of the crumbled biscuits.

Crumble another macaroon or 2, and sprinkle this golden rubble over the top of all the glasses to give a fine sprinkle of crumbs on each. Serve the remaining amaretti alongside the syllabub.

Easy and delicious!

The first time I made this we all ended up sitting around the bowl with spoons. It's simple and so tasty. It is strongly... flavored, so people who don't like amaretto will likely give it a pass, but I'll often pair this with Nigella's Eton Mess recipe so everyone's happy. Yummy! Read more

Although this recipe was easy, it was a bit heavy handed on the alchohol. You definately couldn't/shouldn't give it to anyone... under the age of 21...Read more

This looked too good to be true but I tried it and it was wonderful! I used coconut macaroons because they were easy to find... but have also used little almond shortbread cookies. mmmmmRead more
