Ways to crush the Amarettini

The amarettini for the base must be finely crumbled. You can achieve this in the following ways:

1. Put the small biscuits in a food processor and grind them until they are crumbly.
2. Put them in a large bag, preferably with a zip-top, place a kitchen towel on top of the bag and hit it a few times with a rolling pin or hammer.
