Steps:
- Heat oven to 325°F.
- Brush a large, shallow baking sheet with some butter and lay 1 phyllo sheet on top. (Cover remaining phyllo with a damp cloth.) Brush phyllo with butter and sprinkle on 1 teaspoon sugar. Layer another phyllo sheet on top and press down. Repeat layering until you use all sheets, ending with 1 teaspoon sugar on top. Cut phyllo stack into 32 equal squares. Bake until squares are golden brown and crisp, 15 to 17 minutes.
- Mix ricotta, sugar, lemon zest and a pinch of salt; add lemon juice to taste. Sauce: Bring vinegar and sugar to a boil in a small saucepan; continue to boil until reduced and slightly syrupy, 5 to 7 minutes. Assembly: Place a dab of ricotta mix on a plate. Top with 1 phyllo square, 1 tbsp ricotta and fig slices. Repeat for a total of 4 layers. Sprinkle with black pepper. Drizzle plate with balsamic reduction and scatter pine nuts around. Repeat.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and set out two baking sheets that can stack on top of each other. Line one with parchment paper and set another piece of parchment paper aside.
- Unroll the puff pastry onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and poke the entire surface with a fork. Sprinkle with the granulated sugar. Place the second piece of parchment over the pastry and fit the second baking sheet on top to sandwich the pastry between both sheets. Bake the pastry for 25 minutes. Then remove the top baking sheet and parchment and continue baking for another 5 to 8 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown. Cool completely.
- Meanwhile, using a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or a hand mixer, whip the cream cheese and peanut butter together on medium speed until smooth. Slowly pour in 1/4 cup cream then add in 3/4 cup icing sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Whip on high until stiff and fluffy. If desired, transfer the peanut butter cream to a pastry bag fitted with a medium round piping tip or a large zip top bag with the corner cut off.
- Add the remaining 1/2 cup cream to the bowl along with the remaining tablespoon of icing sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whip to stiff peaks and set aside.
- Using a serrated knife, slice the puff pastry sheet along the long side into three equal pieces, each about 10-by-23 centimeters (4-by-9-inches), trimming the edges if needed. Spoon a small dollop of whipped cream or peanut butter cream onto the center of your serving dish and place one of the puff pastry pieces on top. Pipe or spread half of the peanut butter cream onto the pastry and dot with about half of the raspberries. Place another piece of puff pastry on top and repeat with the peanut butter cream and raspberries. Place the final piece of puff pastry on top, dollop or pipe over the whipped cream and scatter with raspberries, chopped peanuts and chocolate shavings, if using. Place in the fridge for up to three days. When ready to serve, slice with a serrated knife.
FIG BALSAMIC VINEGAR/SYRUP
This is incredible on Caprese salads, but it can be used any time you want a rich, sweet balsamic with lots of fruitiness. It could be considered a "vinegar" but is thicker and sticks to food more like a syrup. It also uses commercial balsamic, NOT artisan balsamic, but you'll never miss it. This is better than any store-bought fig balsamic you can get, and you get so much more for your money!

Steps:
- Trim and dice the figs.
- In a heavy-bottomed sauce pan on medium-low heat, mix the liquid pectin and sugar, stirring until no dry sugar remains. Stirring frequently, bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Add the figs and simmer 3 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
- While your fig preserves are cooking, in a well ventilated area, put the balsamic vinegar in a heavy, non-reactive pot over low heat. (Personally, we used a heavy stainless electric skillet on our screened back porch.) Bring to a low simmer and cook uncovered until reduced by half. This can take a couple of hours because you don't want to rush it and scorch your balsamic. Please note: the fumes from this process may drive you from your kitchen if you choose to do this indoors, so be aware!
- If the figs are done before the vinegar, hold over lowest heat and continue to stir occasionally.
- When the balsamic is reduced, add three-quarters of the fig preserves to the balsamic and stir until dissolved.
- Taste and adjust to your personal taste using the remaining quarter of fig preserves.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Strain through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the seeds and any chunky figgy bits.
- Store in an airtight bottle. (One of the bottles the balsamic came in would be wonderful). This may keep for as much as six months depending on storage conditions and cleanliness of your bottling process.

Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or a baking mat.
- Unfold the pastry, roll it to a 12-by-15-inch rectangle and cut into three 12-by-5-inch rectangles. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Prick the pastry and chill for 10 minutes in the freezer or 20 in the fridge.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Dust the pastry with powdered sugar (this will ensure the pastry caramelizes when cooked). Bake until golden brown and risen, about 15 minutes. Set aside to cool on a wire rack for about 15 minutes.
- In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add the powdered sugar, mascarpone, cream and vanilla seeds and whisk until soft peaks form. Add the raspberry liqueur and lemon zest and turn on the mixer for 10 seconds to combine the ingredients.
- To assemble: Place a dab of the whipped cream on the serving plate to anchor the mille-feuille. Place one piece of pastry onto the plate glaze-side down. Spoon over half of the whipped cream, smoothing out the top. Arrange half of the fresh raspberries on top of the cream in rows, then top with another sheet of pastry, again glaze-side down. Top the second sheet of pastry with the remaining cream and raspberries. Add the last piece of pastry glaze-side up and liberally dust with powdered sugar.
