I’ve grown up with amaretto specials. They were a favourite at my family’s restaurant and a big treat pudding at home. The good thing about it is that it takes about two minutes to make but it tastes great. Up until yesterday I honestly thought everyone in the entire world loved amaretto - I for one am a huge fan. It may not be your thing, but it if is you should definitely give this pudding a go.

Amaretto special

Ingredients

Vanilla ice cream

Single cream

Amaretto biscuits

Amaretto

Method

Firstly whisk your cream until it has body. Of course if you want to use pre whipped cream you can, I just think it’s always nicer to whip your own.

Scoop your ice cream into bowls, pour a good shot of amaretto over each one, add a dollop of cream on top of the ice cream and then crumble between two and three amaretto biscuits over each bowl. Voila! 

Outcome

So fast, so easy, so delicious. I’m not saying it’s as impressive as a tiramisu or rum babas (which I will be making in the next few weeks) but if you’ve got a few courses to make for a dinner party and want something quick but tasty for dessert, this is a great option.
