Number Of Ingredients 8

3 ounces dried apricots
3/4 cup water
1 tablespoon sugar
1 2-inch piece vanilla bean, split lengthwise
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon amaretto liqueur (optional)
1/4 cup amaretti cookies, coarsely ground

Steps:

  • Combine apricots, water, sugar, vanilla bean and lemon juice in a 1 1/2-quart souffle dish. Cover tightly with microwave plastic wrap. Cook at 100 percent power in a high-power oven for 8 minutes. Prick plastic to release steam.
  • Remove from oven and uncover. Remove the vanilla bean.Transfer mixture to a blender. Cover the blender lid with a kitchen towel and hold down firmly. Blend until smooth. Scrape mixture into a medium bowl. Cool. Refrigerate until cold.
  • Whip cream until soft peaks form. Add amaretto (optional). Whip until cream holds firmer but not stiff peaks. Stir a third of the cream into the apricot puree. Fold in the remaining cream. Divide mixture between two 1-cup souffle dishes. Cover with plastic wrap. Freeze at least 4 hours or overnight. Let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving. Sprinkle the top of each mousse with ground cookies.

I had some trouble getting the mousse to set properly. I think I might have overbeaten the egg whites.
