- 1/4 cup sugar optional to macerate berries
- Fresh mint, to garnish
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, and amaretto mixing with a handheld mixer to combine.
- In another large bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold in to cream cheese mixture.
- Mound mixture in 1/2 cupfulls on to a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Using a spoon or spatula, shape mounds in to mini cup, indenting the center. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm. Can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance.
- 30 minutes before serving, place berries in a bowl and add sugar (if using). Toss to combine. You can skip this step if you like, but this draws out some of the berries juice, which is delicious!
