[Sca-cooks] Dessert board

[Stefan li Rous]

Anne-Marie Rousseau suggested a dessert:
  <<< one of my favorite "perioide" desserts is to make up "cherries in
snow" and serve
it on pound cake or else sweet almond rice pudding (make arborio with
almond milk and a fair amt of sugar)

cherries in snow is based on the idea of cooking fruit in red wine
spice syrup (a
la wardyns in syrop) and serving with "snow", ie whipped cream. I
usually use
canned tart pie cherries. its very very good :)

lay a base of pound cake, heap on cherries (oh darn, cherry juice
gets soaked up)
and then make a mountain of whipped cream. decorate with little
rosemary "trees" >>>

Why use just plain whipped cream for this? The period "snow" is nicer  
is nicer, in my opinion.

And now there is a Florilegium file just on this dish:
snow-msg          (10K)  5/18/06    “Snow”, a white, creamy  
confection often
                                        served with wafers.
