Filled soft amaretti
A perfect after-dinner treat
Servings: 24
Calories: 46kcal
Equipment
- Frying pan
- Bowl
- Sharp knife
Ingredients
- 20 g raw pistachios
- 75 g ricotta
- 75 g mascarpone
- 15 g caster sugar
- 3 tsp Marsala wine plus extra for brushing
- 24 soft amaretti biscuits
- a little icing sugar for dusting
Method
- Toast the pistachios in a dry frying pan set over a medium–high heat for a couple of minutes, until lightly toasted. Remove and set aside.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the ricotta, mascarpone, sugar and Marsala wine in a bowl, until light and fluffy. Finely chop the pistachios and stir in. Cover with cling film and place in the fridge.
- Using a really good, sharp knife, slice the amaretti horizontally in half, so you end up with a bottom and top of each little cake, keeping any crumbs. Brush each slice with a little Marsala.
- Take the creamy mixture out of the fridge and stir in the amaretti crumbs. Place a dollop of the cream on the bottom slice of the amaretti and sandwich together with the top half. Arrange on a plate and dust with icing sugar, to serve.
