Combine eggs and next three ingredients. Stir all but 2 tablespoons Amaretto into mixture. Pour into pie shell. Bake at 375 degrees for 55-60 minutes.
Cool completely on rack.
Combine reserved 2 tablespoons of Amaretto, whipping cream and ginger. Add sugar while beating until soft peaks form. Dollop pie with whipped cream.
For an elegant touch, cut a second pie crust into leaf shapes. Score them with a sharp knife to replicate leaf veins. Bake on a cookie sheet at 450 degrees 6-8 minutes. Cool on rack. Stand leaves in dollops of whipped cream, and around edges of pie.
