Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3-4 soft Amaretti cookies use 4 if you want a strong almond flavour
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt

Instructions

  • Butter or oil a 9×13-inch pan. Then line it with a single sheet of parchment across the width of the pan, allowing it to overhang the sides by a couple of inches. This will help you remove the bars from the dish when it has cooled.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees
  • Place the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
  • Using your hands, break up the Amaretti cookies into small pieces and work them into the flour mixture.
  • Pour the melted butter over the dry mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture is well combined.
  • Press the dough firmly and evenly into the bottom of the pan.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden in color.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and immediately pour the custard into it while the crust is hot.
