COMFORT FOOD RECIPES FOR WINTER


ARCHIVED RECIPES

*** Prior to the various Holidays we will add a new recipe daily. So, stop by often. ***

Yes it's still Winter, however we are bringing to you some great recipes for the coming of the Easter Holidays, and Spring Time!



recipe Dinner Recipe: Easter Pie
Servings: 8-10
Food Network ~ Step by Step

Easter pie is an Italian springtime tradition, but it's easy enough to make year round. Giada's sweet version has a ricotta-orange filling with a tender phyllo dough shell.
Recipe by: Giada De Laurentiis

    Ingredients:
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar, plus extra for garnish
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1 (15-ounce) container whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup cooked short-grained rice
  • 1/3 cup toasted pine nuts
  • 6 sheets fresh phyllo sheets or frozen, thawed
  • 3/4 stick (3 ounces) unsalted butter, melted

  • Preparation Instructions:
  • Blend 3/4 cup of powdered sugar, eggs, vanilla, orange zest and ricotta in a food processor until smooth. Stir in the rice and pine nuts. Set the ricotta mixture aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Lightly butter a 9-inch glass pie dish. Lay 1 phyllo sheet over the bottom and up the sides of the dish, allowing the phyllo to hang over the sides. Brush the phyllo with the melted butter. Top with a second sheet of phyllo dough, laying it in the opposite direction as the first phyllo sheet. Continue layering the remaining sheets of phyllo sheets, alternating after each layer and buttering each sheet. Spoon the ricotta mixture into the dish. Fold the overhanging phyllo dough over the top of the filling to enclose it completely. Brush completely with melted butter.
  • Bake the pie until the phyllo is golden brown and the filling is set, about 35 minutes. Transfer the pan to a rack and cool completely. Sift powdered sugar over the pie and serve.


recipe Dessert Recipe: Mocha Baked Alaskas
Servings: 6
Taste of Home ~ Step by Step

Make these baked Alaskas ahead of time—you can torch the completed desserts and freeze them up to 24 hours before serving.
Recipe by: Kerry Dingwall ~ Ponte Vedra, Florida

    Ingredients:
  • 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 loaf (10-3/4 ounces) frozen pound cake, thawed
  • 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee
  • 3 cups coffee ice cream
  • 6 large egg whites
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

  • Preparation Instructions:
  • Place chocolate in a small bowl. In a small saucepan, bring cream just to a boil. Pour over chocolate; whisk until smooth. Refrigerate, stirring occasionally, until completely cooled, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, slice pound cake horizontally into three layers. Cut cake into six 3-in. circles; brush tops with coffee (save remaining cake for another use).
  • Line six jumbo muffin cups with foil liners. Spoon ice cream into each. Top with ganache, spreading evenly. Place cake, coffee side down, over ganache, pressing gently. Cover and freeze until firm, about 3 hours.
  • In a large heavy saucepan, combine the egg whites, sugar and cream of tartar. With a hand mixer, beat on low speed for 1 minute. Continue beating over low heat until egg white mixture reaches 160°, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Add vanilla and salt; beat until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved.
  • Invert layered cakes onto an ungreased foil-lined baking sheet; remove foil liners. Immediately spread meringue over cakes, sealing to cover completely.
  • Heat with a kitchen torch or broil 8 in. from the heat for 3-4 minutes or until meringue is lightly browned. Serve immediately.
