Strawberry Blessed Snow With Custard Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine cream, sugar, lemon zest and salt over medium-high heat. Bring to simmer, stirring frequently to dissolve sugar. Simmer vigorously until mixture thickens slightly, about 4 to 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Let sit until mixture has cooled slightly and a skin forms on top, about 20 minutes.
• Stir mixture, then strain through fine-mesh strainer into a measuring cup with a spout; discard zest. Pour mixture evenly into six 6-ounce ramekins or small bowls.
• Refrigerate, uncovered, until set, at least 3 hours.
• As the custards chill, prepare the strawberry topping: Toss strawberries and sugar in a small mixing bowl. Let fruit macerate at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour, until the sugar is dissolved.
• To serve, top each lemon custard with some strawberry topping and grind black pepper on top.

Steps:

• Sprinkle the gelatin over the water and allow to soften for 5 minutes.
• Heat 1 cup crushed strawberries to the boiling point, add the gelatin and stir until dissolved.
• Chill until the mixture begins to set around the edges of the bowl.
• Whip the egg whites until soft peaks form and gradually whip in the sugar.
• Fold into the strawberry mixture, then add the remaining crushed strawberries and whipped cream.
• Serve immediately in individual glass dishes and decorate each serving with a whole strawberry.
• Note: This dessert may also be served frozen. Pour the mixture into freezer trays and freeze.

Steps:

• Puree strawberries in a food processor or blender.
• Combine strawberry puree, egg whites and sugar in a bowl and beat until stiff and glossy.
• Add vanilla to cream, and whip mixture until peaks form.
• Gently fold cream mixture into strawberry mixture.
• Spoon into a serving bowl and garnish with strawberry slices and mint (if desired).
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until you are ready to serve.
• This can be made a day ahead. Good luck keeping everyone else in the house out of it.
• Note: A recent reviewer had trouble getting the mixture to set like a pudding. I should have stated that this recipe does not work if you beat the egg whites separately. The strawberry puree, egg whites and sugar need to be beaten together for this to work properly. I know this only because I tried it the other way once by mistake.

Steps:

• Make snow pudding:
• Stir gelatin into cold water in a large bowl and let stand 5 minutes. Stir in hot water, sugar, and lemon zest and juice until sugar has dissolved. Set bowl in an ice bath and stir often until mixture is cold and thickened (consistency will be similar to that of raw egg whites), about 45 minutes.
• Beat gelatin mixture with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until very frothy, 1 to 2 minutes. In a separate bowl, beat whites until they hold soft peaks.
• Add whites to gelatin mixture and beat at high speed until tripled in volume and thick enough to form a wide flat ribbon that holds its shape on top of mixture when beater is lifted, about 5 minutes (longer if using a hand-held mixer). Transfer to a large serving bowl and chill until set, about 3 hours.
• Make custard while snow pudding sets:
• Bring milk, sugar, and a pinch of salt just to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in basil. Let steep, covered, 30 minutes.
• Put yolks in a small bowl. Strain milk mixture through a sieve into another bowl, pressing hard on and then discarding basil, and return to saucepan. Whisk about 1/2 cup warm milk mixture into yolks, then whisk into remaining milk in saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until custard coats back of spoon and registers 170°F on an instant-read thermometer.
• Transfer custard sauce to a bowl and chill, stirring occasionally, until cold, about 2 hours.
