Puff Pastries With Raspberries And Orange Sabayon Recipes

Steps:

• To make pastry cream:
• Split a vanilla bean lengthwise, using a back of knife to scrape the seeds. In a medium saucepan, combine milk with the vanilla bean and seeds and lemon rind. Bring to a boil, then remove the lemon rind and vanilla bean.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Add the sugar and flour and whisk well. Before adding the egg yolk mixture to milk, temper it by whisking in some of the milk to the yolk mixture. Pour it all back into the milk saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook at a boil for 2 to 3 minutes then remove from stove top and cool.
• Cut the puff pastry into 3 by 3-inch squares. You should have 24 pastry squares in total. Bake according to package directions until golden brown and crisp. Remove from the oven and cool.
• Place 1 square of puff pastry on a plate. Top with a layer of pastry cream. Top with raspberries and a small dollop of pastry cream. Repeat to make 1 more layer, ending with a puff pastry square on top. There should be 3 layers of puff pastry and 2 layers of pastry cream and raspberries in each stack.
• Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Steps:

• Thaw the puff pastry and roll the sheets out on a lightly floured surface to make it a little thinner. Chill, covered with plastic wrap to let rest. In a mixer with a paddle attachment, mix the cream cheese, egg yolk, powdered sugar, vanilla extract and lemon rind.
• Make an egg wash by whisking together the egg and water in a small bowl. Cut the puff pastry into 3-inch squares. Lay a square of pastry on a work surface and paint the edge with egg wash. In the center of the pastry, place 1 tablespoon of cheese filling and 3 raspberries. Paint the edge of a second square of pastry with egg wash, place it on top of the filling and carefully press the edges together to seal them well. Place pockets 1-inch apart on a parchment paper lined sheet pan and keep chilled. Repeat with the remaining pastry.
• When they're all done, brush the top surface with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. Bake in a pre heated at 375 degree F oven until golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Unfold pastry sheet; cut along fold line to make 3 strips, trimming rough edges. Cut each strip in half crosswise. Place pastry rectangles on an ungreased baking sheet and bake until golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer pastry to a rack and cool (about 8 to 10 minutes), then cut horizontally into 2 layers.
• While pastry bakes, in a medium bowl whisk the goat cheese, 6 tablespoons powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt until blended. Using electric mixer, beat whipping cream in another medium bowl until peaks form; fold into cheese mixture. Chill 10 to 15 minutes.
• Heat the jam in a medium microwave-safe bowl until just melted (about 10 seconds). Add berries. Toss to coat.
• Just before serving, put bottom halves of pastry on plates; top with mousse and raspberries. Sprinkle with minced thyme, cover with top half of pastry, and dust with powdered sugar. Garnish with thyme sprigs.

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients in a medium nonreactive bowl. Set up a double boiler, adding 3 inches of water to the bottom pot. Bring to the boil. Whisk the ingredients until frothy. Pour into the double boiler and continue to whisk until the sauce is lightly thickened, about 7 minutes. If the sauce seems to be thickening too rapidly, lift the top pot off the heat, whisking continuously to disperse heat. Return the pan to the double boiler and continue whisking until done.

Steps:

• Whisk together white sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a small saucepan. Stir in 1 cup of the raspberries and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally and mashing raspberries with a wooden spoon, until raspberries break down and sauce thickens, about 4 minutes. Remove from saucepan to a medium bowl and cool, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, beat cream cheese, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon heavy cream, orange zest, cardamom, and almond extract with an electric mixer on medium speed in a medium bowl until smooth, about 1 minute. Cover and chill until ready to use.
• Place 1 puff pastry sheet on a floured piece of parchment paper. Roll into a 12x9-inch rectangle. Cut 10 to 12 (3 inches long and 1 inch thick) diagonal strips on each side, about 1 inch apart, leaving center 3 inches of pastry uncut. Spread 1/2 cup of the cream cheese filling in center (uncut) section of pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch border at the top and bottom. Top with 3 tablespoons of the raspberry mixture, and spread raspberry mixture gently over cream cheese layer. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup raspberries.
• Whisk together egg and water in a small bowl. Brush exposed pastry lightly with egg mixture. Fold strips over filling, alternating each side to resemble a twist or a braid. Fold the bottom ends up to seal the filling inside. Repeat with the remaining sheet of puff pastry and the rest of the filling. Brush outside of each pastry with egg wash.
• Transfer pastries, on parchment, to separate baking sheets. Freeze until pastry is firm, about 1 hour. (To make ahead, wrap Danish in parchment and then plastic wrap; freeze up to 1 month.)
• While pastries freeze, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) with racks in upper and lower third of oven.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and puffed, rotating position of baking sheets in oven halfway through, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool on baking sheets for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together remaining 5 tablespoons cream and 3/4 cup powdered sugar in a medium bowl. Drizzle over Danish and sprinkle with sliced almonds.

Steps:

• Whisk first 4 ingredients in large metal bowl. Set bowl over saucepan of simmering water (do not let bottom of bowl touch water). Using electric mixer, beat mixture until very thick and thermometer registers 160°F., about 12 minutes. Remove bowl from over water and set in larger bowl of ice. Let cool completely, whisking occasionally.
• Using electric mixer fitted with clean beaters, beat cream to firm peaks. Gently fold into egg mixture. Chill sabayon until cold, about 1 hour. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Divide raspberries among 4 bowls or stemmed goblets. Spoon sabayon over raspberries and serve immediately.
