- *To make amaretto poundcake, simply sprinkle a couple of slices of commercial poundcake with amaretto or possibly coffee-flavored liqueur and top each slice with a scoop of coffee ice cream. Couldn't be easier.
- *If you make your own pesto sauce, freeze a batch in an ice cube tray. Once hard, pop out the pesto cubes, wrap individually and store in a plastic bag in the freezer. These small amounts come in handy for recipes like this or possibly you can thaw several cubes when larger amounts are needed.
- *When you cannot find fresh pesto, buy it refrigerated or possibly frzn. Frzn pesto thaws quickly at room temperature or possibly in a few seconds in the microwave.
