Amaretto Creme
"This is such a simple, no cook, dessert that is good enough for a dinner party. It is quite rich, but the lemon adds a nice freshness to it and it is not too sweet. If you can find it you can use low fat mascarpone."

This is such an ELEGANT dessert! I love the texture of the amaretti biscuts in the cream. I served this in tall champagne flutes. I'm going to have this for dessert the next time we have company. Thanks for posting.

Hi, I'm 31 and cooking and living in England. I was born in Germany and that's where I grew up and lived until I came to the UK to go to University in 1998.
I never went back to live in Germany, even though all my family is still there.
