Best Moroccan Cake Le Russe Recipes
CHARLOTTE RUSSE
A traditional Christmas dessert at our house. Very rich but light - the perfect ending to a big meal. You can make it with any variation (change the cookie and the extract) but the "traditional" one is listed below. (And the lady fingers should be the fluffy soft kind - not the hard Italian ones.)

Steps:
- Find a pretty glass serving dish and line the bottom and sides with ladyfingers (halfs).
- Warm the milk to about 98 degrees and set aside. (It should be blood warm, not hot.).
- Beat the egg whites until frothy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the cream until thick but not stiff.
- Fold in the sugar.
- Fold in the vanilla.
- Fold in the egg whites.
- In the meantime, dissolve the gelatin into the warmed milk. Working quickly, strain the milk/gelatin mixture into the bowl containing the cream/sugar/egg white mixture.
- Pour the mixture into the bowl lined with ladyfingers, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

TFAH - A MOROCCAN APPLE DESSERT
As a low-fat chef I am always looking for desserts which are interesting and flavorful without lots of butter. :) Here tart apples are candied in a syrup scented with cinnamon and orange blossom water, two flavors typical of North African cuisine. I have not tried this one but it looks scrumptious. (T'fah is the Arabic word for apple.)

Steps:
- Begin by removing the yellow part of the lemon peel from the lemons and cutting it into small strips.
- Juice the lemons and reserve 1/2 cup for later use.
- Peel and core apples, cutting into 8 - 10 wedges depending on the size of your apples.
- Place sugar, water, and cinnamon in a large saucepan and bring to a low boil.
- Once the mixture boils, add the apples, lemon rind, lemon juice and orange blossom water to the pot. (I find orange blossom water to be quite potent and would start with the lower amount and add more to suit personal taste.)
- Cook until the mixture is dry and the apples and lemon rind are tender.
- Remove from heat and allow the dessert to cool.
- Serve at room temperature.
