Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/2 cups super-fine almond flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 large egg whites
1 teaspoon pure almond extract
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
  • Whisk the almond flour, granulated sugar and salt in a large bowl to combine. Beat the egg whites in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 1 minute 30 seconds. Add the almond extract and beat to combine. Fold the egg whites into the dry ingredients using a rubber spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Put the confectioners' sugar in a small bowl. Using a 1-tablespoon scoop, portion the dough and roll into balls. Toss each ball in the confectioners' sugar, coating thoroughly. Arrange the balls 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until golden brown and the tops crack, 23 to 25 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE AMARETTO CHEESECAKE



No-Bake Chocolate Amaretto Cheesecake image

My mother gave me this recipe several years ago and I have made it many times to rave reviews. I have no idea where she got the recipe; perhaps from an Amaretto pamphlet. It has a wonderful smooth, creamy texture and is very rich and decadent; certainly not for those who are watching their waistlines. Worth every sinful bite! I hope you enjoy!

Time 4h30m

Yield 12-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

32 amaretti di saronno cookies (I can't remember exactly what they are called, but they are chocolate-dipped rolled waffle cookies)
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin (1 envelope of Knox unflavoured gelatin. If using sheet gelatin, use appropriate quantity to set 2 c)
1/2 cup Amaretto (almond liqueur)
1 cup whipping cream
6 ounces semisweet chocolate or 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate

Steps:

  • If you cannot find the waffle cookies already pre-dipped in chocolate, then melt 2 squares of semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate with 2 T of butter. Pour the chocolate mixture into a tall thin glass and dip the rolled waffle cookies in the chocolate. Place on a waxed paper-lined pan. Chill until set.
  • Beat the cream cheese and brown sugar together until smooth.
  • Sprinkle the gelatin over the Amaretto, in a small saucepan, and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir over low heat until the gelatine dissolves.
  • Blend the warm gelatin into the cheese mixture.
  • Beat the whipping cream until soft peaks form. Fold into the gelatin and cheese mixture. Reserve 1 cup of this mixture.
  • Melt the 6 squares of chocolate and let cool. Fold the chocolate into the remaining cheese mixture. Reserve 1/2 cup of this mixture.
  • Use small dabs of the chocolate cheese mixture to aid in standing the prepared waffle cookies, dipped ends up, in a ring around the rim of a 8 1/2 inch springform pan.
  • Spread the remaining chocolate cheese mixture into the prepared pan. Spread reserved plain cheese mixture evenly on top. Top with dabs of the reserved 1/2 cup of the chocolate cheese mixture. Swirl with a knife to create marbled effect.
  • Chill for at least 4 hours.
  • Garnish, if desired, with chocolate curls or whole blanched almonds. Let your imagination take you away!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality amaretto liqueur. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the cookies.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before shaping. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Use a cookie scoop to shape the dough. This will help you get uniform cookies.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will help them firm up.

Conclusion:

Amaretto cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them plain or dipped in chocolate, these cookies are sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these amaretto cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
