Danish shortbread cookies that are delightfully little, moderately time-consuming to create, and best consumed by the handful. At the yearly Scandinavian Festival in Junction City, Oregon, a local granny gave me this recipe. They will survive nearly two weeks if kept in an airtight container.

This never froze. I mixed the ingredients together and poured it in. Never froze. ????
Delicious and so easy!
My heart be still…Only thought I could have Amaretto ice cream from my favorite shop on Cape Cod and then my son found this recipe! So delicious and easy. Minor changes for our palet included: 1/4 C less sugar, 1/2 tsp almond extract and to top it off 1 cup of almonds chopped to about 1/4″ then folded in after the ice cream reaches “soft serve”. For added indulgence top with a small dollop of hot fudge when serving!!! Such a treat – thanks for sharing the recipe.
Very easy and good recipe. I didn’t have half and half, so I used heavy cream instead. I cut down sugar to 1/2 cup, but will reduce it even more next time. In my opinion all recipes have too much sugar. I had this ice cream with a warm cookie brownie and it was delicious.
Really easy and fantastic recipe. I ended up using 3c of heavy cream because I didn’t have half and half on hand. It was rich and creamy and delicious! A little scoop goes a long way. Will definitely be making this again.
I baked a trio of desserts for New Year’s Eve, and this Amaretto ice cream complemented the Kahlua Brownies I baked extremely well. I had to omit the vanilla extract bc I ran out of it and didn’t want to go to the market. Thankfully, it was a hit, and I will be putting this ice cream recipe in heavy rotation. Thanks so much for a simple, easy, no fuss recipe!
