Note
Do not boil the egg mixture, as this will cause the eggs to curdle. Keep the heat low and whisk constantly.
If you do not have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the mixture in a shallow dish, stirring every 30 minutes until firm.
For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the amaretto with almond extract and a little extra sugar.
Serve immediately after softening slightly for the best texture.
