Mascarpone All' Amaretto and Bloggers Around the World May

What is your favourite course of a meal? Starter? Mains? Dessert?
What if the starter and the mains is already so good you hardly can restrain yourself, would you still eat the dessert? Some say (including my very self), sweets, puddings and cakes go to a separate stomach, so it is totally unaffected by what you ate before. Having a second stomach, though, is complete nonsense unless you are a cow, of course. Nevertheless, dessert always goes.
Right now, I am having one of those ...



... Mascarpone All' Amaretto, simple, yet very delicious. I found the recipe in the cookbook Two Greedy Italians Eat Italy. You simply whip together 250 g of mascarpone with a tbsp. of milk, 50 g sugar and 25 ml amaretto. Then crumble over some amaretti biscuits and stick in a chocolate stick. That's it! Is it the booze? Is it the mascarpone? I reckon, it's the combination that makes it so delicious.



You definitely should have a go. Something else you should have a go at is the Bloggers Around the World challenge for May. You might have concluded, we are going to Italy again. Right, but things are not that simple for this time, we are just concentrating on desserts. That's why I have presented you the Mascarpone All' Amaretto.

Well then, off we go for another month of Bloggers Around the World ...




... with the delicious theme ...

ITALIAN SWEETS, PUDDINGS AND CAKES

Along that line, you could present us a dessert like I just did or ... having so much to choose from ... you could do gelato, semifreddo, polenta cake, tiramisu, zabaione, panna cotta and much much more. If it has any connection with Italy, it's fine.


Besides that, the usual rules / guidelines apply ...

  1. Link to Cooking Around the World and this very challenge in your post.
  2. Use the "Bloggers Around the World" badge (you should be able to find it).
  3. Use either an old post or write up something completely new.
  4. You can enter as many posts as you manage (we can never have enough sweets).
  5. Enjoy ...

Here some more impressions from Italy. After that you get the chance to link up your post  ...

    1. I already told you, you will like the theme for May. I knew it. I hope Montalbano has some good dessert recipes ready for us. I've just started to read a new book, but so far the only reference to food was the mention of an omelette.

  2. Just added my fruit salad, that is if by puddings you meant dessert in general?

    1. You got it absolutely right, Galina. I didn't know how to put it otherwise.

    1. Of course, you can take part, Simona. That would be very wonderful. I'm sure you will not write it completely in Italian. Ah, no worries, write as much Italian as you like. I'm looking forward to your entry.
      The photos were taken in Verona in the Giardino di Gusti (if I'm getting the name right).

  5. Another scrumptious dessert and yet another wonderful challenge I would like to have entered. I just don't understand where the time goes, it's just getting worse and worse.

    Would love to see some of those Italian gardens.

    1. In fact, it's not too late to enter this challenge. Apart from that, I was wondering, if in some month, like July for example we could do some kind of French and Bloggers Around the World and Cocoa kind of thing ...

    2. That sounds like a splendid idea, Chris! Just give Choclette a good nudge.
