Procedure:

In a saucepan pour 30 ml of Amaretto liqueur and turn on the heat on medium-low flame for a few minutes just to fade the alcohol, now in the same pot pour 500ml of fresh cream and bring it to a boil, in a pebble of cold water about 250ml put a sheet of gelatin for cakes to soak a few minutes (about 5) squeeze it and add it to the cream, mix energetically with a whisk or if we have a mini pimmer whisk 30 seconds.

Now we have our Amaretto panna cotta, let it cool for a few minutes and then pour it into the serving cups/flutes/glasses, place it in the fridge and let it rest for at least 4/5 hours.

Now we can dedicate ourselves to the accompanying icing.

Pour 30ml of Amaretto into a saucepan, turn on the heat, let the alcohol evaporate and add 250ml of orange juice, better if fresh, and 50g of sugar, let it thicken over a low heat, stirring continuously. You can add various spices according to your taste (cinnamon, cloves, orange or lemon zest, etc.).

Turn off the heat when it reaches the desired density, let it cool and pour over your panna cotta.
