Amaretto is a sweet and slightly bitter Italian tipple. It is made with almonds. You can put amaretto in drinks or add it to coffee, chocolate and desserts. I like it and I use it when I make desserts for adults.

Today I would like to share with you the recipe for a yummy dessert with figs – one of my husband's favourite types of fruit. The dessert was made with whisked sweet cream and dark chocolate. I bought some wonderful crunchy, light amaretto cookies. They were excellent with my glamourous dessert.

Ingredients (for 2 people)
200ml of 30% sweet cream
100g of dark chocolate
2 tablespoons of amaretto
a couple of amaretto cookies
a couple of raspberries
2 figs

Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie and leave it to cool down slightly. Whip the sweet cream to make a fluffy mass. Mix it in with the chocolate and amaretto. Put a few cookies and a few raspberries on the bottom of some bowls. Add the chocolate mixture. Decorate with the fig pieces, raspberries and amaretto cookies. Leave in the fridge to cool down.

Enjoy your meal!
