Amaretti Biscuits Biography
Source:- Google.com.pk

So it’s the beginning of a brand new year (Happy New year by the way), and we are all supposed to be working on our new years resolutions that inevitably involve cutting out all the naughty (aka good) stuff from our diets, and hitting the gym with a vengeance.

This is not one of those new year healthy recipes. This is for people who don’t care about that. This is for people who do care about it, but look at pictures of forbidden food and derive some form of masochistic pleasure from it (*coughs and looks in the mirror*).

This is however a ridiculously easy, ridiculously decadent and a ridiculously delicious dessert that embraces 3 layers of almond flavour and texture.

Marscapone is a triple cream cheese made from cream. Its ultra thick, ultra fresh tasting, and makes the perfect addition to a decadent dessert. It’s so rich and creamy that it becomes necessary to break it down with cream. Does this make sense? Lighten the dessert with cream?

Like all things culinary (and in life) balance is important. Its finding the perfect synergy between the elements without forgetting the ever important textural component, the crunch.

This recipe will make 4 – 6 desserts depending on the size of glass you serve them in.

So you start out by very simply poaching halved peaches (I used 4 peaches / 8 halves) in a pot with 1/2 cup of Amaretto (you could add a little more) and about 80ml of water, with the lid on for about 10 – 15 minutes until they have softened but still maintain their shape. I don’t bother peeling them as the skin softens in the cooking process, but if the skin bothers you, by all means peel them.

Once they have been poached all them to cool in the delicious sweet golden sauce. They are pretty awesome just as is, served with a dollop of cream or a scoop of ice cream, but I decided to take it a little bit further. Slice the peaches and toss in the sauce.

peaches poached in amaretto make a fabulous simple dessert

To make the creamy layer, beat 1 cup of cream (25oml) of cream until its thick. Using the same whisk / electric beater, lightly whip 250gm Marscapone to loosen it up (so equal quantity cream to Marscapone cheese). Fold the whipped cream into the whipped Marscapone adding 2 Tbs of icing sugar and 2 Tbs of Amaretto.

Lightly crumble about 100 – 150 gms of Amaretti biscuits and then layer the desserts as follows:

Cream + crumbs + peach slices with a drizzle of the sauce. Repeat this ending off with a cream layer. Drizzle over the last bit of the Amaretti sauce and a sprinkle over a few toasted almond slices.

I promise you will love me after eating this. I promise that your guests will go mad.

A delicious dessert idea from Poh's Kitchen. Here, she tells us why it's close to her heart...

The first time I had this dessert was about five years ago in the Dandenongs, served to me by my beautiful friend and very brilliant cook, Kirsty. All the weekend, she made me meals that I copied into my first exercise book of handwritten recipes. It is one of my most important food memories because, for the first time, I realised food could be an emotional experience and, hence, would have a very important place in my life.

At the time, I wasn’t such an experienced cook, so this recipe was, and still is, very precious to me. It is definitely what Antonio Carluccio would classify as an MOF – minimum of fuss, maximum of flavour – also what I call a ‘boy’ dessert – no measuring, no whisking, no delicate baking techniques whatsoever. Guys, it’s so easy, you could probably make it under the watchful gaze of a young lady you fancy and maintain relative composure!

Ingredients (serves 4)

    3 cups (375 g) fresh or frozen raspberries, or 4 not-quite-ripe peaches, halved, stone removed
    4–5 tbsp brown sugar
    16 amaretti biscuits
    80 g good quality salted butter, cubed into 8 pieces
    Vanilla ice cream/ yoghurt/ crème Anglaise

METHOD

    Heat the oven to 180°C (170°C fan forced).
    Pour the raspberries into a small baking dish (around 20 x 20cm, or 15cm in diameter), or the peaches skin side down in a baking dish.
    Sprinkle the sugar evenly over the fruit. Using your hand, crush and sprinkle the biscuits over the raspberries, breaking any larger chunks, as these will burn quickly.
    Distribute the butter evenly over the dish of raspberries or pop a cube of butter on each peach half. Bake for about 20 minutes.
    The raspberries should be bubbling and become quite syrupy and the biscuits a dark golden brown. Some like their peaches a little firmer but I love them when they have completely collapsed into a gooey mess.
    Serve hot with vanilla ice cream, yoghurt or crème Anglaise.
How to make Grilled peaches with amaretti

For the grilled peaches with amaretti:
1) Preheat the oven to 190C/Gas mark 5. Preheat a griddle to a medium-low heat. When hot, brush the griddle with a little oil to make sure the peaches don't stick. Place the peaches, cut side down, on the griddle and cook for a few minutes, until they're slightly charred.

2) Place the peaches in an oven-proof dish and sprinkle each half with a little vanilla sugar. Combine the rum and amaretto and drizzle 1/2 of it on the peaches. Bake the peaches for about 10 minutes, until they're very tender.

3) Serve hot, at room temperature, or cold with crumbled amaretti cookies on top or with the cookies on the side. I like to serve them with a dollop of creme fraiche or vanilla ice cream.

For the vanilla sugar:
1) Find a jar tall enough to hold 2 vanilla beans. Fill the bottle with sugar and cover tightly. Store on a pantry shelf. After about 3 months you will have a wonderful ingredient for cooking and baking.

2) Keep adding vanilla beans and sugar to the jar and you will have vanilla-flavoured sugar available for years.
