Line baking pan with foil. Using electric mier, beat cream cheese in medium bowl until smooth. Beat in 1/2 cup sugar, then amaretto. Using same beaters, beat cream in large bowl until peaks form. Fold cream into cheese mixture in 2 additions. Drop cheese mixture in 6 mounds in prepared pan. Using back of spoon, make depression in center of each mound, pressing to form 3-to4-inch-diameter baskets. Freeze baskets until firm, about 2 hours, or cover and keep frozen up to 3 days.

Combine strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and remaining 1/4 cup sugar in medium bowl (can add 1-2 tbsp of Grand Marnier). Toss to blend. Let stand to release juices, tossing occasionally, about 30 minutes

Place 1 basket on each of 6 plates. Spoon berries and juices into each.
