@themediterraneandish: Turkish Poached Apricots With Ricotta (Kuru Kayısı Tatlısı) - the easiest dessert ever! This Turkish apricot dessert recipe is delicious and so easy to make. This easy dessert recipe is traditionally made with dried Turkish apricots poached in simple syrup. They’re typically stuffed with kaymak, a thick cream made from the milk of water buffalo. Since this is difficult to find outside of Turkey, I have substituted whole milk ricotta cheese. This is a light, delicious and easy dessert for entertaining! #apricot #apricotdessert #stuffedapricot #turkishdessert #turkishdesserts #turkishrecipe #dessertrecipe #desserts #easydesserts Recipe: ▢ ⅔ cup raw or granulated sugar ▢ 2 scant cups (15oz) hot water ▢ 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice ▢ 9 ounces soft dried apricots ▢ 4 ½ ounces (heaping ½ cup) whole milk ricotta ▢ 2 tablespoons finely chopped unsalted pistachios 1. Make the syrup. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stir together the sugar and hot water. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves. Once boiling, turn to medium-low heat to simmer. 2. Poach the apricots. Stir in the lemon juice, followed by the dried apricots. Poach for 20 minutes over a medium-low heat. The apricots will plump up and the syrup will slightly thicken, becoming infused with the apricots’ beautiful fragrance. Turn off the heat and set aside to cool completely. 3. Stuff the apricots. Once cool, gently open the split of the apricot. Use small spoons to fill each with ricotta until full and just slightly over-stuffed, placing the stuffed apricots on a large, deep serving platter as you go. 4. Finish and serve. Spoon the syrup around the poached apricots. Sprinkle with crushed pistachios to finish. To make vegan: Instead of whole milk ricotta, you can stuff the poached dried apricots with ⅔ cup chopped walnuts. You can poach the dried apricots in syrup 1–2 days ahead. Once cool, keep in a container, covered, in your refrigerator.
