Frozen
Peach and Amaretti Soufflés
Bon Appetit August 1998
Bon Appetit - One Year Subscription
To allow enough time for the
soufflés to freeze,
make them
at least one day
before serving.
3
pounds peaches (about 8 large), peeled,
pitted, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons brandy
8 large egg yolks
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 1/4 cups chilled whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons amaretto
8 tablespoons crushed amaretti cookies
Fresh raspberries (optional)
Sliced fresh peaches (optional)
Combine
3 pounds peaches, 1/2 cup sugar and brandy in heavy large saucepan. Simmer
over medium heat until peaches are juicy and tender, stirring
occasionally, about 5 minutes. Transfer to processor
and purée
until smooth. Set aside 2 1/4 cups peach purée; cool (reserve
any
remaining puree for another use).
Cut
eight 14 x 6-inch foil strips. Fold each in half lengthwise. Wrap 1 foil
strip tightly around each of eight 2/3-cup soufflé dishes, forming
collars that extend from base of dish to above rim. Fold and
crimp ends tightly to secure.
Whisk
yolks, corn syrup and remaining 1 cup sugar in large metal bowl to blend.
Set bowl over saucepan of simmering water (do not allow bottom of bowl to
touch water). Using handheld electric mixer, beat constantly until
thermometer inserted into mixture registers 160 degrees F, about 7 minutes.
Remove bowl from over water. Continue to beat mixture until cool and
thick, about
5
minutes.
Beat
cream and vanilla in another large bowl until soft peaks form. Add
amaretto and beat until stiff peaks form. Fold peach puree into cream
mixture in 3 additions. Gently fold in yolk mixture and 6 tablespoons
crushed cookies. Divide mixture equally among prepared soufflé dishes
(mixture will extend above rim of dishes). Sprinkle tops with remaining
crushed cookies. Cover with plastic; freeze overnight and up to 3 days.
Carefully
remove foil from soufflés. Top soufflés with berries and peach
slices,
if desired, and serve immediately. Serves 8.

Cinnamon-Crunch
Peach Sundaes
Bon Appetit July 1998
Bon Appetit - One Year Subscription
The graham cracker
crunch topping is delicious on its own, but
combined with ripe peaches,
cinnamon syrup and ice cream,
it makes for positively addictive sundaes.
1
cup plus 6 1/2 tablespoons sugar
3/4 cup water
6 tablespoons dark corn syrup
3 cinnamon sticks, broken in half
6 whole cinnamon graham crackers,
crushed to coarse crumbs
4 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
6 medium peaches, pitted, sliced into wedges
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
French vanilla ice cream
6 cinnamon sticks (optional)
Stir
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, 3/4 cup water, corn syrup and halved
cinnamon sticks in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat until sugar
dissolves; bring to boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer until syrup is
reduced, about 20 minutes. Cool; remove cinnamon sticks. (Can
be made 1 week ahead. Cover; refrigerate.)
Preheat
oven to 350 degrees F. Combine cracker crumbs, butter and
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
in small bowl; toss to coat evenly. Spread mixture
out on small baking
sheet. Bake until golden, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Cool.
Mix
peaches, 3 tablespoons sugar, lemon juice and ground cinnamon in medium
bowl. Let stand until juices form, at least 15 minutes and up to
1 hour.
Place
2 scoops of ice cream in each of 6 bowls. Spoon peaches and juices
over
ice cream. Drizzle with syrup and sprinkle with crunch topping.
Garnish
with cinnamon sticks, if desired, and serve.
Serves 6.

Gather dough into ball; divide dough into 2 equal portions. Flatten each
portion
into disk. Wrap each in plastic; chill 45 minutes. (Can be made
2 days
ahead. Keep refrigerated. Soften slightly at room temperature
before
rolling out.)
For

and spices in large bowl; toss to mix well.
Roll
out 1 dough disk on floured surface to 13-inch round. Transfer to

center. Roll out second dough disk to 13-inch round. Roll up dough on
rolling pin and unroll atop peaches. Trim edges of both crusts to 3/4-inch
overhang. Fold edges over; press to seal. Crimp edges. Cut 6 slits in top
