Description
I saw these ones this morning at the supermarket nearby. A virtual bulb brightened my brain with an idea: a recipe from Italy. A pumpkin cake for Mark(wysiwig)'s birthday and PJ(Mrs. Lubner)'s collection of recipes, and whoever wants to try.
Bon appetit!!!!
Tortino di zucca e amaretti (Pumpkin and Amaretti Cake). Serves 4:
For the syrup:
400 grams sugar
300 grams water
1 vanilla bean
1 orange peal
For the filling :
400 grams pumpkin chopped into small cubes
100 grams Amaretti cookies
100 grams crushed hazelnuts
For the dough:
300 grams puff pastry
Directions:
Bring syrup to boil and add pumpkin cubes.
Line a saucepan with puff pastry about 3 mm (about 0.01"), lay crushed amaretti and hazelnuts at the bottom, add pumpkin cubes and cook in oven at 180°C (356°F) for 30 minutes.
When cooked, glaze lightly with apricot sauce.
Serve lukewarm with whipped cream.
Tips:
Choose a pumpkin with solid pulp.
Wrinkled Emilian pumpkins are the best for this dessert, especially the ones from the southern part of the Ferrara province.
Be careful not to overcook pumpkin.
Be careful to keep the heat low when drying pumpkin so that it does not change color.
Thank you for your kind comments.
