My mom and I have had fun this week watching the cooking channel and getting ideas for dinner and dessert. Here is a delicious recipe we tried after watching Everyday Italian with one of my favorites, Giada de Laurentiis...
Here are the ingredients:
*1 pound cake (store bought or home made - we made one pretty quickly)
*1 8 ounce container marscapone
*1 jar organic apricot preserves
*2-3 teaspoons amaretto
*sliced almonds
Slice the pound cake into 1/2 inch thick slices and place on cookie sheet (we did smaller portions and took each slice and cut it in half). Place cookie sheet under the broiler and toast until lightly brown - these cook fast, so watch them closely. While the pound cake is browning, place the marscapone in a bowl and add the amaretto and stir with a fork (like you see Dave doing! =), until blended.
Place a few spoonfuls of the apricot jam in a bowl and microwave until just warm. Take the toasted pound cake and lay one the the pieces on a plate, toasted side down, then dollup a generous mound of marscapone on top and add another slice of pound cake, toasted side out. To top this off, add a spoonful of apricot jam and a sprinkle of almonds. We loved this dessert because it was so easy to do, everyone could participate, including my hubby!!, and it was a light and fragant dessert! Enjoy!!
The finished product...
