Amaretto Bars

Ingredients

190 gr all purpose flour
100 gr powdered sugar
170 gr butter
8 gr cornstarch
45 ml amaretto
400 ml sweetened condensed milk
240 gr semisweet chocolate chips
120 gr sweetened coconut flakes
60 gr almonds

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees; grease a 13 x 9 x 5 cm baking pan. In a large bowl, combine the flour and sugar. With a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in the butter until crumbly. Press the mixture firmly in the prepared pan. Bake for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir the cornstarch into the amaretto until dissolved; stir in the condensed milk. Pour the mixture evenly over the prebaked crust. Top with the chocolate chips, coconut and almonds; press down firmly. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes longer, or until golden brown. Cool in the pan on a wire rack. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
