Iced Terrine of Fig and Ginger (Nougat Glacé aux Figues et Gingembre)

Author: Admin // Category:
The frozen terrine may be served as is but looks beautiful garnished with fresh berries, orange slices, or fresh figs or cherries.

Ingredients:

  • 7 Tbs. superfine sugar
  • 5 Tbs. water
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 6 plump, moist dried figs, each cut into
      3 or 4 pieces
  • 2 Tbs. candied ginger, coarsely chopped
  • 1 Tbs. each candied orange
     peel and candied lemon peel
  • 6 candied red cherries, halved
  • 1/3 cup pistachios
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cardamom
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream, whipped
  • 2 Tbs. kirsch

Directions:

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and water. Heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar, then raise the heat to high and bring to a boil. Boil without stirring until the mixture reaches 240°F, the soft-ball stage, on a candy thermometer.

Meanwhile, in a bowl, beat the egg yolks with a handheld electric mixer. When the sugar mixture is ready, pour it onto the eggs in a slow stream while beating constantly. Beat until the mixture has cooled and has doubled in volume. Fold in the figs, ginger, citrus peels, cherries, pistachios, cinnamon and cardamom. Carefully fold in the whipped cream, then fold in the kirsch.

Pour the mixture into a 4-cup rectangular ceramic terrine or loaf pan. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 8 hours or up to 4 days. Run a knife blade around the sides of the mold and invert the mold onto a plate. Soak a kitchen towel with hot water, wring out, place on the bottom of the mold to release the nougat, and lift off the mold. Return to the freezer to refirm. Cut into slices 1/2 inch thick and serve.
Serves 8 to 10.

Kiwifruit Sorbet

Author: Admin // Category:
Green is the color of growing things. The flavor of green fruits is light, fresh and clean, and their texture is crisp and juicy. They are naturally good for you. This sorbet, a light and fresh alternative to rich ice cream, combines the complementary flavors of tropical kiwifruits and tart lemon juice.

Ingredients:

  • 6 kiwifruits, peeled
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 12 fresh mint leaves, thinly sliced
  • 1 egg white
  • 3 Tbs. Cointreau or other liqueur of
     choice (optional)

  • For the garnish:
  • Lemon zest strips
  • Sliced peeled kiwifruits

Directions:

In a blender, puree the kiwifruits just until smooth. Do not overblend or the seeds will break up and make the puree bitter. Measure out 2 cups puree. Set aside.

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and water and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Simmer the syrup for 5 minutes. Let cool, then chill for 2 hours.

In a bowl, combine the kiwi puree, lemon juice, mint and cold syrup and stir to combine. Pour into a shallow metal baking pan and freeze until icy, about 4 hours. Process in a food processor or beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the egg white and liqueur, and process or beat until fluffy. Refreeze until firm, about 4 hours, then beat again. Pack the sorbet into a container and freeze completely, 4 hours more.

Serve in chilled glasses, garnished with lemon zest and sliced kiwifruits. Serves 6 to 8.

Lemon Gelato

Author: Admin // Category:
The brisk, refreshing taste of lemon is always welcome after a meal. In this velvety ice cream, crème fraîche contributes richness and a flavor reminiscent of cheesecake. Look for crème fraîche in good cheese shops and specialty-food stores. Serve the gelato with thin, crisp cookies.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 lemons
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 1 cup crème fraîche or heavy cream

Directions:

In a nonaluminum saucepan, combine the half-and-half and cream. Using a vegetable peeler, remove the zest of 1 lemon in long strips. Add to the cream mixture. Place over medium heat and bring just to a simmer.

Meanwhile, grate the zest from the remaining 2 lemons. In a food processor, combine the sugar and grated lemon zest and process until well mixed. In a bowl, combine the egg yolks and lemon sugar. Whisk until pale and smooth. Slowly whisk in the hot cream, then return the mixture to the saucepan and place over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture visibly thickens and coats the spoon, about 4 minutes. Do not allow it to boil or it will curdle.

Remove from the heat and stir for 1 minute. Let cool for 15 minutes, then whisk in the crème fraîche. Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, about 8 hours.

Strain the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.To serve, scoop the gelato into serving dishes. Makes about 1 1/2 quarts; serves 12.

      for garnish
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 3 Tbs. lime juice
  • 1 cup finely chopped fresh pineapple

Directions:

In a blender or food processor, puree the 2 mangoes. You should have about 3 cups. Add the sugar and lime juice and process to combine. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the pineapple.

Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions until firm, about 30 minutes. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until ready to serve.

To serve, scoop the sorbet into chilled bowls and garnish with the mango slices.
Serves 8.
