The recipe uses simple ingredients such as milk, liquid cream, egg yolks, sugar, amaretto cookies, and, of course, Amaretto di Saronno. The ice cream is prepared by mixing all the ingredients together and then cooled in an ice cream maker to achieve a perfectly creamy texture. Enjoy it alone or serve it in a bowl of crushed amaretto cookies for an extra crunchy touch.
