Dates poached in spiced wine spooned over fresh ricotta
Alcoholic beverages
I like not-too-sweet Italian-style desserts. Several years ago, I was at a dinner party in Cambridge where the host made this wonderful dessert of poached dates with Apican spices served over vanilla ice cream. I was besotted. Apician dates are often stuffed with almonds and I've seen many different spice combinations used, but this is the combo I prefer. I also like something a bit lighter than ice cream, and so fresh ricotta has become the perfect vehicle. (Note: boyfriend seems to have eaten the whole batch already, scoundrel!) This makes what I might call a European sized serving of dessert -- just enough little bit of sweetness to satisfy you at the end of a meal =) - student epicure
