Amaretto And Raspberry Smoothie Recipe

Amaretto And Raspberry Smoothie

From luisascatering 16 years ago

I tried this recipe by Giada out last night. It wasn't very sweet so I added whipped cream on top :-)

6 ounces fresh raspberries (or 6-ounces frozen raspberries, thawed) shopping list
1/2 quart vanilla gelato (or ice cream), lightly softened shopping list
1 tablespoons almond liqueur (recommended: Amaretto) shopping list
1 teaspoons orange zest shopping list
ice shopping list
2 Italian macaroon cookies (recommended: Amaretti) shopping list

Place the raspberries in a blender with the ice cream, almond liqueur, and orange zest. Pulse the blender until the mixture is combined. Add about half a tray of ice and blend until smooth.
Divide the smoothie between 2 glasses. Crumble the macaroon cookies over the top of the smoothies. Serve with long spoons and a straw.

Dessert in a glass - love it! The Amaretto is a great addition to gelato or ice cream...ok, any liqueur is a great addition to gelato or ice cream, but I am especially fond of Amaretto, with Kahlua coming in as a close second...sippin' on that while smokin' my cigar - heaven!

Well you certainly have created a decadent looking smoothie. I love the flavors going on here and the macaroons crumbs are both attractive and add a sweet coconut which I personally love.

You may have clinched the title we will know better after a taste test.

Five forks and a big happy smile :)
