A really beautiful dessert and full of flavor.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

The flavor and presentation of these amaretto and cream cheese custard pots are equally lovable. The custard is smooth and creamy. It reminds us of a cheesecake. Amaretto and a touch of vanilla add wonderful flavor. On the bottom of the ramekin is a sugary and crunchy caramel. Make sure to pour a thin layer of caramel or it may stick. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed almonds for a fancier dessert.
