     Title: DECADENT WHIPPED CREAM & BISCOTTI
Categories: Desserts, Italian, Cookies
     Yield: 4 servings

          Water
          Sugar
          Rosewater
          Ginger, ground
          Almond Syrup
          Maple Syrup
          Biscotti
          Whipping Cream
          Fruit, fresh

 Prepare a simple syrup by bringing 2 parts of water and 1 part sugar to a
 boil.
 Remove from heat and add flavoring.  Rosewater (to taste) for a Middle
 Eastern accent or ground ginger (and use the ginger biscuits) for a
 spicier dish or choose almond syrup or maple syrup or a good shot of
 brandy.
 Place as many biscotti as desired in a shallow bowl or on a plate.
 Spoon a little of the hot syrup over the biscotti.  You will use
 approximately 1 Tbsp per cookie.  Let soak for 5 to 10 minutes.
 Meanwhile, whip some cream.  You'll want about 1 Tbsp per cookie.  By
 the time the cream is whipped, the biscotti should be softened.
 Drain off any excess syrup and spoon the cream onto the soaked
 cookies. Serve immediately. (Good, too, the next day when it's
 soggy). Fresh fruit such as strawberries or cherries are a wonderful
 foil against the dessert's sweet richness.
