In Conclusion
This little dessert is soooo good! It is one of my favorite mini desserts. It’s not overly sweet, just flavorful. I had intended to use a butter cookie instead of the amaretti cookies because the grocery store didn’t have any.
Fortunately, we went to a World Market store, and they had the amaretti cookies. Those cookie crumbs are so good in this—delicious!
Here’s another of my favorite mini desserts that packs a flavorful punch ► Banana Cream Caramel and Cookie Almond Crunch.
