Amaretti Whip
A Decadent No-Bake Dessert in Under 5 Minutes.
If you're after a dessert that tastes like you spent hours crafting it — but actually comes together in under 5 minutes — meet your new favourite: Amaretti Whip.
This luxurious layered treat brings together coffee, cacau, cream cheese, honey, and vanilla, folded into pillowy whipped cream, and layered with crushed amaretti biscuits. It’s rich, light, and bursting with bold flavour.
Why It’s Perfect for Dinner Parties
Whether you're hosting a cosy dinner or a more elegant affair, Amaretti Whip is your secret weapon.
Make it ahead — it gets even better after a few hours in the fridge.
Serve it in individual glasses for a beautiful, no-stress presentation.
Impress your guests — it tastes indulgent and complex, but no one needs to know how simple it was.
What It Tastes Like
Silky whipped cream + tangy cream cheese
Hints of coffee, vanilla, and dark cacau
Naturally sweetened with honey
Crunchy, almondy amaretti biscuits throughout
Finished with a whole amaretti on top, crushed amaretti, coffee flavoured dark chocolate shavings, and a shard
The Magic of Amaretti Whip
This dessert has all the elegance of tiramisu with a fraction of the effort — and a unique flavour all of its own. It’s:
No-bake
Rich but not heavy
Fast but fabulous
Hosting Hack
Prep a batch in the morning or night before, pipe or spoon it into glasses, and chill until serving time. When dessert rolls around, all you need to do is top with the amaretti biscuit to help keep its crunch.

Amaretti Whip – Recipe Card
Serves: 4 | Prep Time: 5 minutes | Chill Time: Optional – 1+ hour for best flavor
No-Bake | Make-Ahead Friendly | Effortlessly Elegant
300g Thick Cream
200g Cream Cheese
1/2 cup of Honey
1/4 cup of Raw Cacau Powder
tsp Vanilla Extract
2x tbsp of Instant Coffee mixed with 1x tbsp of Water
Approximately 8 - 10 crushed Amaretti Biscuits plus 4 whole ones for the top

Instructions
Make the whip:
In a freestanding mixing bowl add the cream, cream cheese, vanilla, cacau, honey and coffee. Whip together until soft peaks form and everything is silky and light.
Layer it up:
In serving glasses or jars, layer crushed amaretti biscuits at the bottom, followed by a generous spoonful of the whipped mixture. Repeat layers if your glass allows.
Top & serve:
Finish with a swirl of the cream, a sprinkle of amaretti crumbs, and a whole biscuit on top for drama. Finely grate some chocolate over the top, and add a broken square of chocolate too. (If making ahead and chilling in the fridge I like to leave off the top layer of crushed and whole amaretti biscuits to ensure they keep their crunch)
Chill (optional or serve immediately)
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavours to mingle. Serve cold.
Tips
Adjust sweetness to taste — add more honey or a touch of sugar if you like it sweeter.
For a boozy twist, add a splash of amaretto or coffee liqueur.
Serve in espresso cups, martini glasses, or mini jars for presentation wow-factor.
