Ingredients

• 1 1/2 tablespoons amaretto liqueur
• 1 pint espresso gelato
• 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
• 2 amaretti cookies (I love the cute wrapped Lazzaroni kind)
• 1 pint heavy whipping cream

Instructions

1. With a whisk or hand-held mixer, whip the cream in a bowl until very thick but still liquid. Add the amaretto and whip until soft peaks form.
2. Put 2 scoops of gelato into a serving dish. Sprinkle a tablespoon of the almonds over the gelato and top with a dollop of the flavored whipped cream. Rub 1/2 an amaretti cookie along a fine grater over the whipped cream to garnish. Repeat with remaining ingredients and serve immediately.
