Why you’ll like it
I love this because it takes 6 minutes of cooking and the rest is just mixing the ingredients and waiting for it to chill in the refrigerator. With this speedy preparation process, this dessert is a true gem. The biscuit-enriched filling and the chocolate coating is an added treat.

Tips
-
The biscuit base: Crush the digestive biscuits finely and line your cake mold with the biscuit mixture evenly, making sure it covers both the base and sides of the mold.
-
Chill the base: Optionally chill the biscuit base for a while to make it easier to add the filling without it sinking into the crust.
-
Whip the filling until smooth: When mixing the cream cheese, egg, sugar, and Amaretto liqueur for the filling, ensure you whip them gently together until smooth and well combined.
- Chill before serving: If you’re preparing the cake for guests, don’t leave it till the last minute. Remember that it needs at least 2 hours to set though it may need up to 4 hours. This will make it easier to slice and serve.
Storage Tips
Store the cake in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Alternatively, you can freeze the whole cake or leftovers for up to 3 months. As regards leftovers, I usually don’t freeze anything that has stayed in the refrigerator or outside for too long. If I plan to eat only half of it, then I cut and quickly store the other half in the freezer.
How to serve the Amaretto Cake?
Plating each slice of cake individually on a dessert plate allows for a more personalized presentation. Before adding any toppings, consider asking your guests for their preferences, as some may prefer the cake as is, while others may enjoy additional garnishes like powdered sugar or berries on the side.
When it comes to beverages, coffee, tea, or a glass of Amaretto liqueur are all excellent pairings for this cake
