Preheat oven to 350 degrees; grease a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan. In a
large bowl, combine the flour and sugar. With a pastry blender or 2 knives,
cut in the butter until crumbly. Press the mixture firmly in the prepared
pan. Bake for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir the cornstarch
into the amaretto until dissolved; stir in the condensed milk. Pour the
mixture evenly over the prebaked crust. Top with the chocolate chips,
coconut and almonds; press down firmly. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes longer,
or until golden brown. Cool in the pan on a wire rack. Refrigerate until
ready to serve. Penny Halsey (ATBN65B).
