Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
For amaretti orange dessert,
divide 10 crumbled gluten-free amaretti biscuits between 4 glasses or small bowls. Stir the grated rind of 4 oranges into 400 g (13 oz) fat-free Greek yogurt. Segment the 4 grated oranges over a bowl to catch the juice, then place the orange segments on top of the crushed biscuits and pour over any juice. Top with the yogurt and sprinkle each one with 1 teaspoon muscovado sugar. Chill for 20 minutes before serving. Calories per serving 204Nutritional Information
