Amaretto Creme

Submitted by -Sylvie-

"This is such a simple, no cook, dessert that is good enough for a dinner party. It is quite rich, but the lemon adds a nice freshness to it and it is not too sweet. If you can find it you can use low fat mascarpone."

This is such an ELEGANT dessert! I love the texture of the amaretti biscuts in the cream. I served this in tall champagne flutes. I'm going to have this for dessert the next time we have company. Thanks for posting.
