Gelato di Amaretto
(Amaretti Ice-Cream)
Ingredients:
30 small amaretti
4 eggs
6 tbsp sugar
2 cups (500 grams) whipped cream
Directions:
Chop the amaretti roughly and set aside.
Whisk the sugar and egg yolks together until frothy, add the amaretti (reserve two tbsp for decoration).
Whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks and fold in delicately and amalgamating well. Do then the same with the whipped cream.
Pour the mixture into a metal mould and place in the freezer for at least 24 hours.
To remove the ice-cream easily from the mould, wet a sponge with hot water and pass it around the mould.
Overturn it onto a serving dish and scatter the amaretti on top for decoration. Serves 6.
