Ingredients:

  • Crust:
  • 1 pk oreo cookies, freshly, crumbled
  • 2 tbsp amaretto
  • 1 tbsp hazelnuts
  • Filling:
  • 1/2 qt freshly whipped cream
  • 1 tsp cocoa

  • 2 cup super-fine sugar
  • 8 eggs at room temp, beaten
  • 1/2 cup amaretto

  • 2 cup freshly whipped cream
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 cup cocoa
  • Sugar

    • Instructions:

    Crust:
    1. Mix all ingredients.
    2. Form like a dough and put into a springform pan, about 1/4" thick around the bottom and sides.
    3. Put aside.
    Filling:
    4. Mix all ingredients.
    5. Put the filling into the crust and refrigerate for 24 hours.
