Ingredients
- 1 egg white - small
- 55 g ground almonds (U.S. option HERE)
- 10 ml Amaretto liqueur - optional but recommended
- ¼ tsp almond extract (U.S. option HERE)
- 25 g erythritol (U.S. option HERE)
- 1.5 tsp pure stevia powder (U.S. option HERE)
Instructions
- pre-heat oven to 160ºC fan (170ºC static).
- whisk egg white until snowy-stiff.1 egg white
- add all other ingredients and stir to incorporate everything well.55 g ground almonds, ¼ tsp almond extract, 25 g erythritol, 1.5 tsp pure stevia powder, 10 ml Amaretto liqueur
- wearing food-safe disposable gloves, take a bit of mixture into the palm of your hand and shape it into rough balls using the other palm in a light, circular motion. The mixture should be sticky but not so much that you can't form the balls. If that is the case, just add more ground almonds.
- place balls on a sheet of parchment paper over a baking tray and flatten them a little.
- bake for 10 mins for soft amaretti, or 15 mins for hard ones.
Notes
You can use packaged ground almonds or grind your own; if skin is retained your amaretti will be darker in colour but still flavoursome.
If you grind your own, make sure to toast the almonds first, as it will intensify the flavour and make your Amaretti even more delicious.
Unless otherwise indicated, use Metric Kitchen Scales to measure ingredients accurately (U.S. option HERE).
