Amaretti week: White wine and mascarpone shots
2011 February 13
The end of the amaretti week has finally arrived. In any other case I would say this deserves a nice toast with a glass of wine, but as the main star of this week were amaretti biscuits, how about a shot of wine jelly with amaretti mascarpone?
I had this idea about making white wine jelly for a while, but just couldn’t find the perfect accompaniment to it. But when making the macarons with amaretti and mascarpone, it just hit me, that the cream would probably go so well with the wine jelly. And oh my, did it… The textures of jelly and cream as usual work so well together, and fresh jelly and rich cream with a bit of crunchy amaretti make it absolute perfection.

I want to make this for someone’s birthday, but I was wondering what kind of white wine you suggest. And is this enough for 5 normal portions? It really looks amazing!
Any white wine will do actually, I used leftovers of dry white wine for this dessert. For the servings, this yields to approx. 320 ml of liquid for the wine jelly, not so much for 5 generous servings. I would suggest then to use 1.5 times the recipe ingredients or even double.
Beautiful presentation. Great site, love your photos.
