The Best Mascarpone And Amaretti Recipe For Dessert

Make the best mascarpone and amaretti dessert.

INGREDIENTS

• ½ CUP TOASTED ALMONDS – finely chopped
• 2 CUPS AMARETTI di SARONNO COOKIES – crushed
• ¼ CUP AMARETTI LIQUEUR
• 8 OZ MASCARPONE CHEESE
• 15 OZ RICOTTA CHEESE – drained
• ½ CUP SUGAR
• 1 TSP LEMON ZEST
• 1 TSP ORANGE ZEST
• 4 OZ CHOCOLATE CHIPS
• 1 TSP VANILLA
• 1 CUP RASPBERRY PRESERVES – strained of seeds

METHOD

1. Mix the chopped almonds and crushed cookies together with the liqueur and toss well to make sure all well combined.
2. In a large bowl, combine the mascarpone, ricotta, sugar, zests and vanilla with electric beaters until well mixed.
3. Fold in the chocolate chips. I prefer to use the mini-chocolate chips but either works.
4. In a 1-quart serving bowl, layer half of the cookie mixture on the bottom, then half of the cheese mixture, repeat with cookie mixture and then cheese mixture.
5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 5 hours, then top with raspberry preserves. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
6. The best mascarpone And amaretti is now ready to be served!

Note: You can also top with a Raspberry Sauce found elsewhere in this book. However, the sauce is a little thinner.

Buon Mangiata!
