Note
This dip can be used as a topping or filling for cakes.
Serve with fresh strawberries, apple slices, peaches, pears, or other favorite fruits.
If using almond extract instead of Amaretto liqueur, start with 1 teaspoon and adjust to taste, as extract is more concentrated.
For best results, chill the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
