These are really easy to make, and their flavor improves if they're made a few weeks in advance, and stored in the freezer. Ingredients:
1 egg white |
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar |
1 cup heavy cream |
1 teaspoon sherry wine or marsala |
1 teaspoon almond extract |
1 cup almond macaroon crumbs |
1/2 cup ground almonds |
6 red maraschino cherries, chopped |
6 green maraschino cherries, chopped |
1/4 cup slivered almonds |
4 maraschino cherries, halved for garnish |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, beat egg white until foamy. Gradually beat in sugar, and continue beating until thick and glossy; set aside.
2. Whip cream in a large bowl. Carefully fold in sherry, almond extract, macaroon crumbs, ground almonds, and chopped red and green cherries. Gently fold egg white into cream mixture.
3. Spoon into 8 paper baking cups placed in medium size muffin tray. Sprinkle with slivered almonds. Cover muffin tray with clear plastic wrap, then wrap with aluminum foil. Freeze overnight.
4. To serve: Let sit for 5 minutes at room temperature, then garnish with maraschino cherry halves.
