Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Butter an 8-inch round cake pan. Line the bottom with waxed paper and butter the paper. Dust the inside of the pan with flour and tap out the excess.
- Melt the chocolates in the top of a double boiler over hot water or in a bowl in a microwave and set aside.
- Place the amaretti and almonds in a food processor and pulse several times, until the mixture is evenly ground. Turn out onto a sheet of waxed paper and reserve.

Peel off the wax paper, invert and cool on a rack. Dust with confectioners' sugar or cocoa.
- Slice thinly and serve at room temperature with whipped cream or ice cream.

AMARETTI
This is the classic Italian almond macaroon. When first baked they are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. As they sit, they get crunchy throughout. Delicious with any fruit dessert.
