4 eggs, separated |
1 1/4 cups milk |
1 envelope unflavored gelatin |
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon cold water, divided |

1/2 cup sugar |
1 cup sliced almonds, toasted |
dash of salt |
1 1/2 cups whipping cream |

Directions:
1. Beat egg yolks in a small mixing bowl until thick and lemon colored; add milk, stirring well. Pour yolk mixture into a medium saucepan; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, 5 minutes or until thickened.
2. Soften gelatin in 1/4 cup cold water; add to hot yolk mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes or until gelatin dissolves. Remove from heat; stir in Amaretto. Pour hot mixture into a large mixing bowl. Chill to consistency of unbeaten egg white.

Quickly pour mixture on a sheet of aluminum foil. Cool. Break into small pieces. Stir pieces into congealed mixture.
4. Combine egg whites (at room temperature) and salt in a medium mixing bowl; beat until stiff peaks form. Fold into partially congealed mixture.
5. Beat 1 1/2 cups whipping cream in a medium mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Fold into partially congealed mixture.
