1/4 cup sugar, plus 2 tablespoons sugar
3 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided

1/2 cup amaretto liqueur
2 tablespoons cornstarch

  • Cut remaining bread slices into 1-inch cubes, sprinkle evenly over almond mixture.
  • Whisk together remaining 8 eggs, remaining 2 teaspoons vanilla, half-and-half, and salt; pour over bread cubes. Cover and chill 30 minutes or until most of egg mixture is absorbed.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup almonds, sliced
2 tablespoons Amaretto
2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon tomato paste
1 chicken bouillon cube, crushed

Steps:

  • In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter and brown the almonds until golden brown; be very careful as they will burn quickly.
  • As soon as the almonds are nicely browned, add the Amaretto; be extremely careful as it should and will flame up for about 10 seconds or so.
  • After about 30 to 40 seconds you will have very little liquid in the pan (it will be dark brown).
  • Add the cream, tomato paste, and the crushed bouillon cube and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to a rolling simmer and reduce by half (about 12 minutes) stirring often.
  • The finished sauce should have a beige, ever so slight pink color and coat the back of a spoon.
  • NOTE: If the Amaretto doesn't flare up in the pan, don't worry! Your sauce will be fine.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality amaretto liqueur and almond extract. Look for brands that use real almonds in their products.
  • If you don't have heavy cream on hand, you can substitute whole milk. However, the sauce will be thinner and less creamy.
  • Don't overcook the sauce. It should be thick and creamy, but not too thick. If it starts to boil, remove it from the heat immediately.
  • Feel free to experiment with different flavors. You can add a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger to the sauce for a little extra depth of flavor.
  • Amaretto almond cream sauce is a versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. Try it on pancakes, waffles, French toast, or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Amaretto almond cream sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes.
