- Pour dry chocolate pudding mix into heavy saucepan. Add chopped semisweet chocolate. Gradually mix in milk and 6 tablespoons amaretto liqueur.

Refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated.)
- Whip cream, sugar and remaining 1 tablespoon amaretto liqueur in small bowl until stiff peaks form. Top chilled pudding with large dollop of whipped cream, then with raspberries and chocolate curls, if desired.

Steps:
- Cook pudding mix, chocolate, milk, and Amaretto until the mixture thickens.
- Pour into pudding cups and chill until set.
- Top with whipped cream.
- As an alternative, use Kahlua instead of Amaretto.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is ideal.
- If you don't have amaretto liqueur, you can substitute another type of almond-flavored liqueur, such as Disaronno or Frangelico.
- You can use either whole milk or heavy cream in this recipe. Heavy cream will make the pudding richer and creamier, while whole milk will make it lighter.
- If you want a thicker pudding, you can add an extra tablespoon or two of cornstarch.
- Be sure to whisk the pudding constantly while it is cooking to prevent it from scorching.
- The pudding will thicken as it cools. If you want to serve it warm, you can do so immediately after it is cooked. If you want to serve it cold, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Top the pudding with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or chopped nuts before serving.
Conclusion:
This amaretto chocolate pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is creamy, chocolatey, and has a hint of almond flavor from the amaretto liqueur. It can be served warm or cold, and can be topped with a variety of different toppings. Whether you are serving it to guests or enjoying it yourself, this amaretto chocolate pudding is sure to be a hit.
