Welcome to the summary page for FabulousFusionFood's Cook's Guide entry for Amaretti along with all the Amaretti containing recipes presented on this site, with 1 recipes in total.

This is a continuation of an entire series of pages that will, I hope, allow my visitors to better navigate this site. As well as displaying recipes by name, country and region of origin I am now planning a whole series of pages where recipes can be located by meal type and main ingredient. This page gives a listing of all the Amaretti recipes added to this site.

These recipes, all contain Amaretti as a major wild food ingredient.

Meaning 'little bitter things' in Italian, amaretti are small almond biscuits similar to macaroons. Some are made using ground sweet and bitter almonds, baked with egg and sugar, others from ground apricot kernels. They're light and airy, crunchy on the outside and chewy in the middle.

Serve them as an after-dinner treat with sweet wine or liqueurs - Italians like to dip them in red wine. They can be used instead of sponge fingers in trifles and tiramisu, or ground up and used in cakes and desserts. Amarettini are the mini version. For an easy dessert, sandwich them together with buttercream, or serve a large plateful alongside your favourite ice cream so guests can just dip in.
