Ingredients:
– 1 cup of heavy cream
– 1 cup of whole milk
– 1/2 cup of sugar
– 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
– 4 egg yolks
– 1/4 cup of amaretto liquor
– 1/2 cup of crushed amaretti cookies
– Whipped cream and additional cookies for garnish (optional)
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and vanilla extract over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the mixture comes to a simmer.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and amaretto liquor until well combined.
4. Once the milk mixture has come to a simmer, remove it from the heat and gradually pour it into the bowl with the egg yolks, whisking constantly. This will temper the eggs and prevent them from curdling.
5. Once the milk and egg mixture is fully combined, stir in the crushed amaretti cookies.
6. Pour the mixture into ramekins, filling them about 3/4 of the way full.
7. Place the ramekins in a large baking dish and fill the dish with enough hot water to come about halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
8. Bake the puddings for 30-35 minutes, or until they are set and lightly browned on top.
9. Remove the ramekins from the baking dish and let them cool to room temperature.
10. Serve the puddings with whipped cream and additional crushed amaretti cookies on top, if desired.
