Ingredients

1 cup sweet cream
6 tbs. sugar
6 egg yolks
2 tbs. Amaretto liqueur
5 oz. (150 g) halvah, broken into small pieces

Directions

  1. Whip the sweet cream until it forms stiff peaks.
  2. In a small saucepan mix the sugar with 6 tablespoons of water and boil for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the mixture cool.
  3. In the top of a double boiler, over but not in boiling water, place the syrup and add the egg yolks and Amaretto.
  4. Mix with a hand mixer without stopping until the mixture is thick in texture and lighter in color and begins to form a foam on the surface.
  5. Remove from the heat, transfer to a mixing bowl and add the halvah.
  6. Mix at a high speed without stopping for 15 minutes and then fold in the whipped cream, mixing gently with a plastic spatula until the mixture is even throughout.
  7. Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan, cover with plastic wrap or parchment paper and place in the freezer for a minimum of 6-8 hours. Serve in thick slices as a dessert.
