You can make this topping up to 2 days in advance and refrigerate it. Just fold gently before serving, if needed. Use this topping on anything from fresh fruit to frozen yogurt. Fill chocolate cups with raspberries that have been marinated in framboise or Chambord liqueur. Top the raspberry filled cups with the Amaretti Cream. This topping is also perfect accompaniment along with a slice of angel food cake.
