Pour into a 12x10x2 ½-greased pan and bake at 325 degrees covered with foil for about 45 minutes. Remove the foil raise the temperature to 350 degrees and bake another 15 minutes or so until the pudding is golden brown. 5. Refrigerate overnight. When cool, cut into 12 squares.
Sauce
1. Melt the butter in a double boiler; slowly whisk in the sugar until the mixture is cream, about 20 seconds. 2. Add the amaretto and then the egg yolks, one at a time, whisking constantly. 3. Cook, whisking constantly until the sauce thickens and reaches the consistency of honey. 4. Cool and store in refrigerator.
To Serve
1. Top pudding with approximately 2 ounces of amaretto sauce and warm through in either over or microwave. 2. Since alcohol is destroyed by cooking process, this dessert can be enjoyed by adults and children alike, 3. Refrigerated, the pudding and sauce will store for a week. However, I can guarantee that it will be eaten well before that.
