*Substitution: omit amaretto liqueur. Increase water to 3/4 cup, add 1/2 tsp. almond extract with vanilla. Gradually add evaporated milk and lemon juice; beat at medium-high speed until mixture is very fluffy, about 2 minutes. Gradually beat in gelatin mixture, liqueur and vanilla until thoroughly blended. Fold in whipped cream. Pour into crust; chill 8 hours or overnight. Garnish with chocolate sauce and berries.
This is a great recipe. A big hit everywhere I have taken it. The garnishing of melted chocolate on top with cherries ( I use the canned cherry pie filling) makes it very elegant looking.
