Tiramisu

INGREDIENTS

    * 1 quart fresh strawberries

    * 1 1/4 cups cold milk

    * 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix

    * 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

    * 4 tablespoons strong brewed coffee, room temperature, divided

    * 2 cups whipped topping

    * 1 (3 ounce) package ladyfingers, split

    * 6 (1 ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate, grated

DIRECTIONS

   1. Set aside three strawberries for garnish; slice the remaining strawberries. In a bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth; gradually beat in 2 tablespoons coffee. Beat in pudding. Fold in whipped topping.

   2. Brush remaining coffee over ladyfingers. Line the bottom of a 3-qt. trifle or glass serving bowl with half of the ladyfingers. Top with half of the sliced berries, grated chocolate and pudding mixture; repeat layers. Cut reserved berries in half; place on trifle. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.

Peach Gelato

Ingredients:

3 pounds peaches, peeled and pitted

1/4cup sugar, or more, to taste

1/2 cup mascarpone, crème fraîche or yogurt

1. Cut the peaches into very small pieces. The smaller you cut them, the faster they will freeze and the finer the final texture will be. Arrange the peach pieces in a single layer on a rimmed cookie sheet and freeze solid, about 2 hours.

2. Put the frozen peach pieces in a food processor with the sugar and grind briefly. Add the mascarpone and pulse until the mixture is smooth.

3. Empty the food processor into a small container and freeze again, 20 to 30 minutes, before serving. If the ice cream freezes solid, simply process it briefly again before serving.
