Ingredients

  • 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup Amaretto liqueur
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
  • Sliced strawberries, optional
  • mint leaves

Directions

  1. In a 1 to 2 quart pan, sprinkle gelatin over water; let stand for 5 minutes to soften.

  2. Heat over medium heat for 30 seconds, or until mixture begins to simmer. Remove from heat.

  3. In a small mixer bowl, bet eggs on high speed for 2 minutes, or until slightly thick. Slowly beat in sugar, liqueur, and gelatin.

  4. In a large mixer bowl, beat cream until it mounds softly. Add egg mixture and fold in to blend.

  5. Pour into a 1-quart mold or into individual serving dishes. Refrigerate for 3 hours or until mold is set.

  6. Unmold onto serving plate or serve from individual dishes. Garnish with fresh sliced strawberries and mint, if desired. Sprinkle servings with toasted almonds.

  7. If you prefer not to use liqueur, increase water to 1`/2 cup. Add 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg to gelatin before simmering.
