This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

ingredients
6 large croissants, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch thick rounds
8 large eggs, beaten slightly
2 cups granulated sugar
3 cups half and half
1 tablespoon amaretto
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup almond paste, cut into bits
1/2 cup almonds, slivered
directions
Butter a 13 x 9-inch pan and place the smallest croissant rounds in a layer at the bottom, then top with a layer of the larger ones.
Whisk eggs and sugar well together, then add milk, amaretto and vanilla extract, mixing well. Pour over croissant rounds. Sprinkle with almond paste and push down with a spoon so that the bread absorbs the liquid. Let set for 10 minutes at room temperature.
Sprinkle almonds all over the top and bake at 350 degrees F for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden and puffed. Serve warm or room temperature.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

This was delicious ! I used almond extract instead of amaretto & it was ridiculously good.

I used sliced almonds instead of slivered but that was my only modification and it turned out delicious! I really liked the texture and flavor using croissants instead of regular bread. It made it a little more buttery tasting.

I grew up eating Bread Pudding for dessert on special occasions, and perfer it over chocolate anytime. This Almond Amaretto recipe is right up there with what my mother & grandmother would make. It's YUMMY. Not sure of fat or calorie content, just take a smaller piece. (If you can :)
