Instructions: Soften the cream cheese in the microwave (it varies by wattage - but Philadelphia gives approximations on the package). Blend the pudding mix and skim milk. Add the cream cheese and amaretto and blend again.

Fold in the Cool Whip and chill for a couple of hours to allow the flavors to blend.

Serving Suggestions:
Serve in individual ramekins or parfait glasses with meringue cookies

(Just Whites Powdered Egg Whites work great - no egg separating mess)

or amaretti (puffy, airy, little Italian cookies). I have not seen any authentic recipes for the amaretti - I usually get them at an Italian Market. I had heard that it has something to do with the fact that authentic
amaretti use ground apricot pits and there is some restriction against their
use here in the United States. That is probably another research issue!

Garnish with more Cool Whip, if desired or some time of sweet crumbs

(almond cookies, chocolate wafers, etc.)

Notes:
I recommend using a high sided bowl if you want to avoid splatters.

You can also substitute almond extract (try 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons) for the amaretto.
