Dessert anyone?

All dessert... all night baby! We had a sugar filled night in Astoria and left our meeting feeling high.

Andrea came through with her fresh-picked blueberries from upstate and whipped up a tart with shortbread crust topped with lime curd and blueberries. So tart and sooo good.


Larisa also played up the in-season fruit with some white peaches and blackberries on shortcakes. She made a blackberry juice that was incorporated into some fresh whipped cream. Voila!


I made a "light" version of New York cheesecake swiped from the cook's illustrated book. Since peaches are everywhere I look lately, I made a peach puree to serve with the cake. Yum!
