Then for a special occasion, my mom’s birthday, I thought of making them since she really likes amaretti and so in no time, I prepared them.
They were a hit!!! Everyone loved them so much .. and so here is my version of these quick and delicious sweets in black and white!!
Meanwhile, I’ll tell you they’re no-bake and the combination of coconut with amaretti is really spot on!

Ingredients
How to make coconut amaretti kisses
- 5.3 oz ricotta
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar
- 3.5 oz coconut flour
- 1/4 cup liqueur (white chocolate or similar to vov)
- 1 package amaretti
- ground cinnamon
Steps
– Sift the ricotta to make it smoother, add the powdered sugar, a pinch of cinnamon, and mix.
– Pour the liqueur into a bowl and dip the amaretti, quickly to soften them without soaking too much.
– Using a teaspoon, generously spread the mixture on the surface of one amaretto and then assemble the sweet by pairing it with another amaretto (without filling). Apply light pressure to seal them.
– Pour the coconut flour into a tray or flat plate and roll the coconut amaretti kisses.
– Serve the coconut amaretti kisses on a cake stand or a small tray.
Storage and Tips
– The coconut amaretti kisses can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
– Instead of ricotta, you can use mascarpone or soft cream cheese.
The liqueur can also be substituted with rum, espresso, or Grand Marnier.
