Directions

Combine the amaretti crumbs in a bowl with the melted butter and mix well to combine. Press half the cookies into an 8 inch squarepan and refrigerate. Set the rest aside.

Combine the peaches and nectarines in a separate bowl with the lemon juice and set aside.

Whip the cream in a large bowl on high speed until stiff;stir in the sugar and the almond extract.

Drain the peaches and nectarines in a colander and fold into the whipped cream. Spread the mixture evenly and carefully over the amaretti.

Sprinkle the remaining amaretti over the top.
Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight. Scoop to serve.

Here's a tip:
Amaretti di Saronno work best in this recipe; find them in Italian specialty stores, on line, or in grocery stores. Substitute vanilla wafer cookies if amaretti are unavailable.
