Amaretto Fruit Dip image

If you love amaretto, then this dip will be a treat. The amaretto flavor is very noticeable, but not completely overwhelming. It's cool, creamy and has a slightly citrus flavor that pairs well with the berries. This is really good right after it's made, but we liked it more after it chilled for a little while.

Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with Brown Butter Stone Fruit Compote and Amaretto Syrup image

Provided by Eric Greenspan

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter
2 apricots, pitted and cut in quarters
2 plums, pitted and cut in quarters
1 nectarine, pitted and cut in quarters
1 peach, pitted and cut in quarters
1 cup sugar
1 vanilla bean, split
2 cups amaretto liqueur
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup ricotta cheese
2 large eggs
2/3 cup milk
1 lemon, zested and juiced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • For the fruit compote: Add the butter to a high-sided saute pan over medium heat and allow to brown. Once browned, add the apricots, plums, nectarines, peaches, sugar and vanilla bean. Stir to combine and cook until the fruit softens and the sugar has dissolved, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the vanilla bean before serving.
  • For the amaretto syrup: Pour the amaretto into a saucepan and heat through over medium heat. Keep warm.
  • For the pancakes: Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, whisk the ricotta, eggs, milk, lemon zest and juice. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Heat a large saute pan over a medium flame. Once heated, add 1 tablespoon of the butter. After the butter stops bubbling, pour most of it out of the pan and gently wipe the pan with a dry paper towel, leaving a thin film of fat. With a large spoon, gently ladle pancake batter into the pan, about 2 tablespoons per pancake. Cook the pancakes until bubbles begin to appear on top, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook on the reverse side, about another 2 minutes. Add more butter to the pan as needed.
  • Layer the pancakes on a platter with the fruit compote between each layer. Top with more compote and drizzle with amaretto syrup just before serving.

Amaretto is a strong almond-flavored liqueur that has been used for centuries to add a unique twist to various culinary dishes. Along with its versatile taste, it also adds a pleasant aroma, color, and texture to recipes that make use of this flavorful liqueur. One of the best ways to utilize the unique taste and aroma of Amaretto is by incorporating it into fruit recipes. In this article, we'll share some valuable tips for making Amaretto fruit recipes that are guaranteed to impress your guests or satisfy your taste buds. Tip #1: Choose Quality Ingredients When making Amaretto fruit recipes, it's essential to use high-quality ingredients to ensure the dish has an exceptional taste. Pick fresh fruits that are ripe and ready to consume, as well as a high-quality Amaretto that is rich in flavor. Low-quality ingredients can make the recipe taste mediocre and detract from the unique taste of Amaretto. Tip #2: Balance the Flavors Amaretto has a robust flavor, and it's essential to balance it out by using other ingredients that complement it correctly. Adding fresh fruits to Amaretto recipes neutralizes its potency and adds a sweet and pleasant taste. The perfect balance of sweet and bitter flavors is what makes Amaretto fruit recipes stand out. Tip #3: Get Creative Amaretto fruit recipes offer a lot of room for creativity. The natural sweetness of fruits pairs beautifully with the complex flavor of Amaretto, making it a perfect ingredient for a dessert or after-dinner cocktail. Don't be afraid to try out new ingredients or use Amaretto in different ways to achieve that perfect taste. You could add it to salad dressings, simmer it into a sauce, or mix it into a cocktail. Tip #4: Explore Different Flavor Combinations Experiment with different fruits and flavor combinations when making Amaretto fruit recipes. Some of the best Amaretto fruit recipes incorporate tropical fruits like pineapple or mango, while others use classic fruits like strawberries, apples, or peaches. Don't be afraid to add a touch of mint, cinnamon, or cardamom to create unique flavor combinations. Tip #5: Use Amaretto as a Marinade Amaretto fruit recipes are not just limited to desserts; you can use Amaretto as a marinade for meats like pork or chicken to add a unique flavor to your meal. The sweetness and nuttiness of Amaretto perfectly complement savory dishes and are sure to impress your guests. For the perfect marinade, mix Amaretto with olive oil, garlic, soy sauce, and honey. Tip #6: Presentation is Key The presentation of your Amaretto fruit recipe can make a significant difference in how it's perceived. Go the extra mile to make the dish look visually appealing by adding edible flowers, garnishing with fresh herbs or nuts, or serving in fancy glassware. A well-presented dish not only looks great but also enhances the overall dining experience. Tip #7: Don't Overdo It Amaretto has a potent flavor, and it's essential not to overdo it when using it in recipes. Adding too much Amaretto can override the natural sweetness of fruits and make the dish taste too bitter or overpowering. Be mindful of how much Amaretto you are using and add it in small increments to achieve that perfect balance of flavors. Tip #8: Pair with the Right Wine Pairing the right wine with Amaretto fruit recipes can elevate the dish and create a perfect dining experience. A fruity red wine like Merlot or Pinot Noir complements the sweetness of the fruits and the nutty notes of Amaretto perfectly. If you prefer a white wine, a Riesling or Sauvignon Blanc with its fruit and citrusy notes pairs well. Tip #9: Experiment with Texture Texture plays a significant role in how Amaretto fruit recipes are perceived. Varying the texture of the dish can create a more pleasurable experience for the eater. You can add a crunchy texture by sprinkling nuts like almonds, pecans, or walnuts, or use whipped cream or ice cream to create a creamy and smooth texture. Tip #10: Have Fun Lastly, when making Amaretto fruit recipes, remember to have fun and enjoy the process. Let your creativity run wild, and try out different combinations until you find the perfect recipe. Preparing Amaretto fruit recipes can be a fun and rewarding experience, so don't forget to have fun with it!
