  • Nut-Filled Meringue Cookies

    Nut-Filled Meringue Cookies

    Ingredients:

    For the Dough:

     

      • 100g Butter (softened at room temperature)
      • 80g Sour Cream
      • 1 Egg Yolk

     

      • 30g Sugar
      • ~240g All-Purpose Flour
      • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder

     

    For the Filling:

      • 1 Egg White
      • 40g Sugar

     

      • 100g Walnuts, chopped (or other chopped nuts like pecans, almonds, or hazelnuts)
      • Pinch of Salt
      • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Sugar (or substitute with 1 teaspoon regular sugar and a few drops of vanilla extract)

     

    Additional Items:

      • Parchment Paper
      • Rolling Pin

     

    • Round Cookie Cutter
    • Wire Rack (for cooling)

    Instructions:

      1. Make the Dough: Cream together the softened butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. This will take a few minutes with an electric mixer or by hand.

         

      2. Beat in Wet Ingredients: Once the butter and sugar are well combined, beat in the egg yolk and sour cream until everything is well incorporated.

     

      1. Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cookies tough.

         

      2. Chill the Dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilled dough is less likely to spread too much while baking, resulting in cookies that hold their shape better.

         

      3. Prepare the Filling: While the dough chills, prepare the meringue filling. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat the egg white with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Gradually whisk in the sugar and vanilla sugar (or sugar and vanilla extract) until the meringue is glossy and stiff. Gently fold in the chopped walnuts using a rubber spatula.

         

     

      1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

      2. Assemble and Bake: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to a thickness of about 3mm (1/⅛ inch). Use a round cookie cutter to cut out circles from the dough. Place a dollop of the nut meringue filling in the center of each dough circle.

         

      3. Bake the Cookies: Arrange the filled cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them for spreading. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The baking time may vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on them to avoid over-browning.

         

     

    1. Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. The meringue filling will firm up as it cools.

    Homemade Fresh Mint Ice Cream

    Ingredients:
    2 cups heavy cream
    1 cup whole milk
    ¾ cup granulated sugar
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    ½ cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
    Pinch of salt
    2 cups watermelon, cubed
    1 tablespoon lime juice
    Directions:
    In a saucepan, combine cream, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and chopped mint leaves. Heat over medium heat until sugar is dissolved, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let steep for 30 minutes. Strain the mixture to remove mint leaves.
    Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn for 25 minutes. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 4 hours.
    For the granita, blend the cubed watermelon and lime juice until smooth. Pour into a shallow dish and freeze for 1 hour. Use a fork to scrape the mixture and create flakes, then freeze again for 30 minutes.

    For added complexity, sprinkle a tiny pinch of salt over the granita before serving. Fresh mint can be packed tightly for a more intense flavor

  • strawberry vanilla bean ice cream!

    strawberry vanilla bean ice cream!

    Ingredients:
    – 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
    – 1 cup granulated sugar
    – 1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
    – 2 cups heavy cream
    – 1 cup whole milk
    – 6 large egg yolks
    Directions:
    1. Start by tossing your fresh strawberries into a saucepan along with the sugar and the fragrant vanilla bean seeds. Set it over medium heat and let them mingle until the strawberries soften and the sugar dissolves beautifully. Once it’s all mixed up, take it off the heat and allow it to cool—your kitchen will smell heavenly!
    2. In another saucepan, gently heat the heavy cream and whole milk until it just starts to simmer. The creamy goodness will make your mouth water. Once it simmers, remove it from the heat and set it aside.
    3. Grab a bowl and whisk the egg yolks until they’re nice and smooth. Now, the fun part! Gradually pour that warm cream mixture into the bowl with the yolks while whisking constantly. You’re creating a luscious custard base!
    4. Pour the custard back into the saucepan and cook it over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Be patient—it’s worth it!
    5. Strain the custard into a bowl to get rid of any lumps, then let it cool down. Once it’s cool enough, pop it in the fridge to chill until it’s cold and dreamy.
    6. Now comes the best part: churning! Pour the custard into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. When it’s almost done, add in that gorgeous strawberry mixture to swirl in all that fruity goodness.
    7. Finally, transfer the ice cream to a container and freeze it until it’s firm. Once frozen, scoop, serve, and savor every delicious bite of your homemade treat! Enjoy!
