Directions
Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃); 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 pre-baked 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.
