Macerated Sour Cherries And Mascarpone Cream
Berry Tartare
Poached Pears With Mascarpone
Berry Tiramisù
This fruity, summery version of tiramisù was invented by Letizia Mattiaci, a cook in Umbria who teaches cooking classes in her home kitchen, high in the hills above Assisi. Berries and cream are, of course, a classic combination, but putting them together this way makes for a beguiling dessert. The berries give off a delicious violet juice that is used to soften the ladyfingers, just as strong coffee is used in the traditional recipe.
Kumquat and Chocolate Yule Log
This festive dessert is an absolute showstopper — and its striking results outweigh the effort. We've updated the traditional bûche de Noël with more adventurous flavors, taking a coffee-scented chocolate cake base, layering it with a date-studded mascarpone cream and a bright kumquat marmalade, and crowning it with dramatic caramel shards, meringue spikes and candied citrus. If you can’t find kumquats, you can use tangerines — and if you're short on time, you can even use a good quality store-bought marmalade instead. The cake can be assembled up to 8 hours ahead, but hold off on trimming it with the toppings until you're ready to serve. You’ll also have extra meringue mixture because that is what is needed in the bowl to be able to whip to stiff peaks. Don’t waste the remaining mixture: Pipe it into small kisses and bake at 200 degrees Fahrenheit/95 degrees Celsius until dry on the outside and slightly chewy inside, about 1 hour.
Gâteau de Crêpes
Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies
Forget all the bad, soggy oatmeal cookies you’ve ever had in your life. Picture instead a moist-centered, butterscotch-imbued, crisp-edged cookie flecked with nubby oats. Add to this the fragrant nuttiness of toasted coconut. Then subtract any chewy raisins that may have accidentally wandered into the picture, and substitute sweet, soft dates, guaranteed not to stick in your teeth. Now mentally sandwich two of these cookies with a mascarpone-cream cheese filling. And that’s what you’ll find here. An oatmeal cookie with a little something extra, a recipe made for keeping. You can bake the cookies a few days ahead, but they are best filled within a few hours of serving.
Pinwheels
Rosemary Pine-Nut Biscotti
Chocolate Chip Cookies With Black Sesame and Seaweed
This complex and earthy cookie comes from Zoe Kanan, the pastry chef at Simon & the Whale restaurant in New York, and proves the notion that ingenuity is often born of necessity. While working in Hong Kong on a collaborative dinner with Yardbird restaurant, Ms. Kazan found herself with a glut of specialty ingredients at her disposal. Inspired by the experimental flavor combinations for which her mentor, Christina Tosi, is known, Ms. Kanan added black sesame paste, seaweed and sesame seeds to a tahini chocolate chip cookie recipe she’d been developing. Deeply chocolatey and extremely savory, the result —this cookie, created for the 2019 NYT Food Festival — is perplexing at first bite and addictive after that.
Cherry Ice Cream
Almond Cake With Saffron and Honey
This is a lovely moist cake that keeps well and may be made several days in advance of serving. Stored well wrapped and at room temperature, its flavor only improves. For best results, grind blanched almonds to make your own almond meal. If you wish, accompany with a little whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Apricot Syrup for Shaved Ice
Apricot, Cherry and Almond Galette
Apricots and cherries are two stone fruits that have great affinity for each other and for almonds. Even less than perfect apricots will do here, as they will sweeten and their flavor will deepen as they bake.
Cornmeal Pine Nut Cookies
Light and buttery, these tender cookies have a subtle corn flavor and a texture similar to ladyfingers or madeleines. They keep well and are just as delicious with a pot of tea.
Baked Vanilla Apricots
Peach or Apricot Ice Cream
With a satiny texture and flavored with puréed ripe stone fruit, this summery treat walks the line between ice cream and sorbet. If you want to make it even creamier and richer, substitute more heavy cream for the buttermilk.
Floating Island With Apricot Creme Anglaise
A dessert whose sweetness can set an adult’s teeth on edge is given a tart reprieve in this recipe. In thinking about a less-sweet take on île flottante, Melissa Clark considered: What would Julia Child do? Would she purée fresh apricots and stir the mush into the custard to make a sauce that was tangy and bright? The result is a dessert that takes a few hours of your time, but it rewards deeply. It’s a familiar classic, brightened up.
Apricot Tart With Pistachio Frangipane
This tart requires a time commitment: There are several elements, and while each is simple, they need to be prepared and cooled before the tart is assembled. But it pays back in complexity of flavor and by looking particularly impressive. It will make a remarkable dessert at the end of a lavish summer feast. You can start the day before, making all the elements and baking the frangipane and apricots in the tart. Once it has cooled completely, wrap it in plastic wrap overnight. The next day, fill with the crème pâtissière and top with the remaining ingredients. Other light dessert wines can be used instead of Sauternes.
Apricot Ice Cream
Small Apricot Galettes
I use my yeasted dessert galette pastry for these individual free-form tarts. The tarts are simple and rustic, meant to show off apricots in season. For the pastry: The easiest way to work with this pastry dough is to freeze the thin disks right after rolling out. They’ll thaw in no time. You need only half of the dough for the individual galettes, unless you want to double the filling quantities and make 16. They freeze well.
Field Fruit Tart
Quick Apricot Fool
Apricot Bread Pudding
Apricots and almonds always make a good pairing. Even apricots that are less than sweet will develop an intense flavor when they bake. Separating the eggs and beating the whites to a soft meringue, then folding the meringue into the bread mixture lightens the bread pudding. It will puff when it bakes.
