This Italian-British dessert is a refined combination of airy cream and crispy almond cookies infused with the aroma of Amaretto liqueur. Its origins trace back to Italian cafes where almonds and liqueurs play a key role in creating delicate sweets. Cream whipped to a creamy state complements the sweet-nutty flavor of the cookies, creating an exquisite harmony of textures. This dessert is perfect for a romantic dinner or a cozy evening, filling the atmosphere with warm Italian charm. Served chilled, it reveals the depth of flavor nuances and leaves a light aftertaste of sweet vanilla and almond.
