Frangelico 70 cl, 20% ABV - Italian Hazelnut Liqueur

Product Information

One of the most popular brands of amaretto is Disaronno. However, depending on where you live you may have a variety of brands available at your liquor store. Even with so many brands available, there may be times when you need a substitute. Jump to:

Although chocolate liqueur has a different flavor than amaretto it works well as a substitute for amaretto in almost any recipe. This is because the rich chocolate flavor pairs well with the same flavor profiles that pair well with amaretto. Although it is not an exact flavor match for amaretto, the anise flavoring works well in many recipes. Especially if you enjoy the flavor of licorice. Add the cream and hazelnut liqueur (or vanilla and sugar if subbing out) to a clean bowl and whip until soft peaks (cream will be fluffy and will hold it's shape, but not be completely stiff)

How to make Hazelnut Liqueur

Frangelico Hazelnut Liqueur is perhaps the most well-known hazelnut liqueur. Made in Italy and distilled using real hazelnuts, this comes as no surprise. The hazelnuts are grown in Piedmont, Italy and the result is a luxurious, premium, and extremely versatile hazelnut liqueur.

When looking to create a new spin on a classic amaretto recipe consider giving coconut liqueur a try. Once your nuts have infused in the alcohol for a month, you will need the following to make a simple syrup to sweeten the hazelnut liqueur. Anisette is another richly flavored liqueur from Italy. However, instead of a bold almond flavor, it has hints of anise that taste like licorice.

More Substitutions

Like other nuts, hazelnuts are rich in nutrients and have a high content of protein, fats, vitamins and minerals. Hazelnuts have a sweet flavour and can be eaten raw, roasted or ground into a paste. Leave to infuse for at least one month in a cool, dark place, giving the jar a shake when you remember.
