Really Easy Apricot Amaretti Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Poach the apricots: Add Sauternes, lime half, vanilla, sugar and 3 tablespoons/40 milliliters water to a saucepan just big enough to hold the apricot halves in one layer. Place the pan over high heat and cook until the sugar has melted and the liquid boils.
• Remove the pan from the heat and place the apricots in the hot liquid, cut sides down. Leave them to poach in the residual heat until they are soft but still hold their shape (20 to 40 minutes, depending on how ripe they are) flipping them every 10 minutes. Set the apricots aside to cool slightly. (If not serving immediately, transfer the apricots to a covered container and refrigerate until needed.) Squeeze the lime into the syrup and then discard it; return the saucepan with the syrup to medium-high heat and simmer until reduced to about 1/4 cup/70 milliliters, 5 to 6 minutes. Set aside at room temperature until needed.
• Prepare the mascarpone mixture: Combine pistachios, amaretti cookies and sugar. Add three-quarters of this mixture to a bowl with the mascarpone and mix it all together until combined, then fold in the cream.
• To serve, divide the apricots and the amaretti cream between four bowls. Pour the syrup over the apricots and sprinkle the remaining amaretti and pistachio crumble over the cream. Finish with orange blossom water and lime zest and serve.

Steps:

• Beat butter at medium speed of an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add the brown sugar and 1/2 cup sugar, beating well. Add the egg and 1 tbsp of the amaretto, beating well.
• Combine flour and baking soda; add to the butter mixture, beating well. Stir in the oats, apricots, and almonds.
• Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 375 for 7 to 8 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheets before removing to wire racks. Let cool completely.
• Combine the powdered sugar and 3 to 4 tbsp amaretto, stirring until smooth. Drizzle the amaretto glaze over the cookies.
