Best Sbriciolata Di Millefoglie With Sour Cherry Preserves Recipes
SBRICIOLATA DI MILLEFOGLIE WITH SOUR-CHERRY PRESERVES
It might be hard to say but it's not hard to eat. Millefoglie is Italian for "a thousand leaves;" sbriciolata means "crumbled." Both refer to the puff pastry in this treat. Layered between spoonfuls of preserved sour cherries and pastry cream, the light, flaky bites complete a delicious but not-too-heavy dessert.

Steps:
- Lemon Pastry Cream: Whisk together sugar, corn-starch, and salt in a saucepan. Whisk together milk and egg yolks; add to pan along with butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Let boil 1 minute, whisking constantly; remove from heat.
- Strain mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours and up to 2 days. Just before using, add lemon zest; whisk until smooth. Makes 2 cups.
- Sbriciolata: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 15-by-10-inch rectangle. Using a sharp knife, cut into 12 rectangles, each approximately 5 by 2 1/2 inches. Place on a baking sheet and bake until puffed, about 8 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees and bake until golden and very crisp, 20 to 22 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely, about 30 minutes (do not cover, or pastry will lose its crispness).
- Whisk heavy cream to soft peaks; fold 1 cup into pastry cream. Cut 8 cooled pastries crosswise into quarters; break remaining 4 pastries into loose shards.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons pastry-cream mixture into the bottom of each of 8 parfait glasses. Add 2 pieces of pastry, a sprinkling of pastry shards, and 1 teaspoon preserves to each. Repeat twice, for a total of 3 layers. Finish each with a broken piece of pastry and a dollop of remaining plain whipped cream.
SOUR-CHERRY PRESERVES
Simmering sour cherries with just enough sugar to balance their tartness is a simple way to make the fruit last. Store preserves in the refrigerator and stir them into yogurt or vanilla ice cream for a splash of summer.

Steps:
- In a nonreactive bowl, combine all ingredients. Let stand, stirring often, until fruit has begun to macerate, 1 hour. Place a parchment round directly over surface and refrigerate, at least 8 hours and up to 1 day.
- Remove from refrigerator and let stand, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes. Strain mixture through a medium-mesh sieve, reserving solids. Place juices in a pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Skim any impurities from surface, reduce heat to medium, and cook, skimming occasionally, until reduced by half and very syrupy, 16 to 18 minutes. Stir in reserved cherry solids. Return to a simmer and cook, gently stirring occasionally, until fruit is plump and just beginning to soften, about 3 minutes more. Let cool slightly, then transfer to jars. Let cool completely, then cover and refrigerate up to 1 month or try canning with our helpful instructions.
