Stracciatella - Back by popular demand and just in time for the last of your summer vine ripen tomatoes. Stracciatella ( which can actually mean 3 different things in Italian) is creamy and soft - its made by mixing fresh mozzarella strands with fresh cream - yum 😋 - and you may have noticed it’s also the filling inside burrata…. This rich, milky, incredibly smooth cheese is so delightful you won’t be able to stop eating it. It’s great with fresh tomatoes , on a sandwich- to top your pasta , on a pizza or just in a bowl so you can smother it all over fresh bread !!! It’s just plain worth it ! 😉

Whipped Gorgonzola stacks are having a moment. You may have seen this trend all over social media - so I decided to try it. I can now say I get it. Creamy, tangy, Gorgonzola whipped with a bit of milk then stack with a layer of caramelized figs, a drizzle of honey - mmmmmmm, I can't even begin to tell you how yummy this was. A little messy to make, but so very worth it! And what an impression - try this appetizer at your next dinner party or get together and impress your guests - then watch it disappear in seconds. Recipe below 👇

For stacking you'll need a small biscuit cutter.

1/3 lb. Gorgonzola (or your fav. creamy blue)
1 Tbsp whole milk / cream / half-half
3-4 Tbsp - cream cheese or Mascarpone (I used mascarpone)
3 Fresh figs - 1 cut into bite size pieces
Honey

With a small whisk or fork, whip the Gorgonzola with the Milk until smooth and creamy. set aside.

Cut 1-2 fig into small bite size pieces mix with a drizzle of honey.

Center a small biscuit cutter or ring mold in the center of the plate and fill it with a layer of the Gorgonzola mixture. Follow with a layer of chopped figs.

Top with a layer of mascarpone cheese then another layer of whipped Gorgonzola.

Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Unmold and garnish with fresh figs, a drizzle of honey or nuts or whatever your heart desires.
