White Chocolate And Summer Berry Napoleons Recipes

Steps:

• Roll out 1 puff pastry sheet into a 10-inch square; cut into 2 1/2-by-5-inch rectangles (8 total). Sandwich between 2 unlined rimmed baking sheets and bake at 400 degrees F until golden, 30 minutes. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Cool. Cook 1/3 cup milk, 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 tablespoon cornstarch in a small skillet over medium heat, whisking, until thick. Stir in 2 ounces chopped semisweet chocolate; cool. Fold in 1 1/2 cups whipped cream. To assemble, layer 2 pastry rectangles with the chocolate cream and raspberries. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

Steps:

• Use an offset spatula to spread a 1/8-inch-thick layer of tempered chocolate over a sheet of acetate. When the chocolate begins to set but is not yet hard, use a sharp paring knife or rolling cutter to cut 1-inch squares. When the chocolate is set, peel off the acetate and break apart the chocolate squares.
• Place the softened cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle. Add the chives, paprika, salt and pepper and turn the mixer on medium speed. Mix just until combined.
• Place the cream cheese mixture in a pastry bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe a dollop of the cream cheese onto a chocolate square. Top with a square of chocolate. Pipe another dollop of cream cheese and cover with another square of chocolate. Viola!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Arrange wonton wrappers on prepared baking sheet and spray the surface with cooking spray. Sprinkle sugar over wontons. Bake 5 minutes, until golden brown. Remove wontons from oven and arrange 4 on a serving platter (or individual dessert dishes). Top each wonton with 2 tablespoons whipped topping and then 2 tablespoons berries. Top with second wonton wrapper. Repeat layers (whipped topping, berries, wonton wrapper). Sift confectioners' sugar over top layer. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In 2-quart saucepan, heat whipping cream and baking bar pieces over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth. Stir in vanilla and peppermint extract. Cool slightly. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours until chilled.
• Heat oven to 400°F. Cut pastry sheet crosswise into 4 strips, then lengthwise into 3 strips to make 12 rectangles. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Split horizontally in half while warm.
• In small bowl, beat white chocolate mixture with electric mixer on high speed until stiff (do not overbeat). Place bottom halves of pastry pieces, split sides up, on serving plates. Fill each with about 1/3 cup white chocolate mixture; add tops of pastry pieces. Drizzle with chocolate syrup. Sprinkle with candies.
