Amareta

This traditional Croatian dessert hails from the Dalmatian island of Korčula. It is prepared with a combination of whipped egg whites, sugar, and ground almonds. The dessert is usually enrichened with grated lemon or orange zest and bitter almond flavoring. The combination of these ingredients results in a dessert with a soft center, while the outer layer remains crispy. Amareta can keep fresh for a long period of time, and it perfectly pairs with prošek or Maraschino.
