Here is an unusual dessert that combines whipped ricotta cheese with orange zest, cocoa, and cinnamon. It is baked in a cookie crust and served with coffee swizzled with cinnamon sticks. No eggs or sour cream are used.

This Apricot Quiche is a triple treat; it is attractive, easy to make and good to eat, with the flavors blending beautifully together to enchance each other.

For a delicious ending to a meal, serve this luscious dessert warm with a scoop of maple walnut or vanilla ice cream.

When late summer turns into early autumn, stone fruit begins appearing in the aisles of the supermarket. The wafting, dreamy scents of ripe apricot, peach, and nectarine are a yearly treat, and I always end up buying more than I can eat. Have you ever stared at a bowl of ripe apricots on the counter, at the peak of their flavor and wondered what to do with them before they all go bad?

This makes a spectacular dessert for cold winter evenings and tastes best when slightly warm. With puff pastry so easily available from the frozen foods sections of the supermarket, it is easy to prepare for family or entertaining.
