Desserts 1-2-3: Deliciously Simple Three-Ingredient Recipes is the sweet finale to Rozanne Gold's award-winning 1-2-3 cookbook series. The diva of simplicity treats us to more than 150 new three-ingredient desserts that indulge all the senses. From seasonal fruit sensations to decadent chocolate extravaganzas, this is a book designed to please everyone. The simple yet amazingly flavor-filled treats include Roasted-Strawberry Ice Cream with Fresh Strawberry Sauce, White Chocolate Pots de Creme, and Lemon Curd Tart with Chocolate-Crumb Crust. More surprising still, more than one third of these tempting recipes are fat free or low calorie.Gold has helped launch a new movement in cooking by encouraging home cooks and professional chefs alike to keep it simple. By paring down the number of elements in a dish, she lets the inherent flavors of the best ingredients -- in this case seasonal fruit, fresh cream, and premium chocolate -- speak for themselves. As a result, Gold's recipes achieve remarkable clarity and balance.
The elegantly simple and delightfully seductive recipes cover every category: cookies and tarts souffles, custards, and flans ice creams and sorbets and an entire chapter of chocolate confections. More than 30 fresh-fruit desserts are also featured. Precise serving instructions help the home cook achieve finished dishes that are as beautiful as they are delicious.
