Ingredients
- 1 pkt Vanilla Pudding Mix (3 1/2 ounce.) (I used Fat Free)
- 1 pkt cream cheese (8 ounce.) (I used Fat Free)
- 1 1/2 c. Skim Lowfat milk
- 1/4 c. Amaretto
- 1 pkt Cold Whip (8 ounce.) (I used Fat Free)
Method
- Soften the cream cheese in the microwave (it varies by wattage - but Philadelphia gives approximations on the package).
- Blend the pudding mix and skim lowfat milk.
- Add in the cream cheese and amaretto and blend again.
- Mix in the Cold Whip and refrigeratefor a couple of hrs to allow the flavors to blend.
- Serving Suggestions:Serve in individual ramekins or possibly parfait glasses with meringue cookies
- (Just Whites Powdered Egg Whites work great - no egg separating mess)
- or possibly amaretti (puffy, airy, little Italian cookies).
- I have not seen any authentic recipes for the amaretti - I usually get them at an Italian Market.
- I had heard which it has something to do with the fact which authenticamaretti use grnd apricot pits and there is some restriction against theiruse here in the United States.
- Which is probably another research issue!
- Garnish with more Cold Whip, if you like or possibly some time of sweet crumbs
- (almond cookies, chocolate wafers, etc.)
- Notes:I recommend using a high sided bowl if you want to avoid splatters.
- You can also substitute almond extract (try 1 1/2 to 2 tsp.)
- for the amaretto.
