Time 50m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 can (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Rolls (8 Count) or 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Dough Sheet
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
2 tablespoons raspberry preserves, melted
Coarse sugar
2 packages (3 oz each) cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons whipping cream
1/4 cup raspberry preserves
1 cup fresh raspberries

  • Heat oven to 375°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper. Separate or cut dough into 4 (4x7-inch) rectangles; if using crescent roll dough, firmly press perforations to seal.
  • Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar on cutting board. Place 2 dough rectangles on sugar; press lightly. Brush tops of dough with about 1 tablespoon of the melted butter and about 1 tablespoon of the raspberry preserves; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. Place one rectangle on top of another; tightly roll both short sides of rectangle at the same time so they meet in the middle. Refrigerate rolls for 20 minutes for easier cutting.
  • Repeat step 2.
  • Using a thin serrated knife, cut each roll into 10 slices. Place cut side down 2 inches apart on parchment-lined cookie sheet. Sprinkle with coarse sugar. Press each slightly to flatten.
  • Bake 10 to 13 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets. Cool completely.
  • In medium bowl, beat cream cheese and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth; slowly add whipping cream. Increase mixer speed to high, and beat until light and fluffy.
  • On serving plate, top 1 palmier with about 1 tablespoon cream cheese filling. Top with 1 teaspoon raspberry preserves and 3 fresh berries. Place another palmier on top and press slightly. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.

STRAWBERRY-RASPBERRY SHORTCAKES



Strawberry-Raspberry Shortcakes image

Shortcakes remind me of the ice cream socials we used to have in my small town when I was growing up. We always had strawberry shortcakes, but now I throw raspberries into my version to make them a little bit fancier and a lot more fun. I also make them free-form-by not using a biscuit cutter, I get cakes that look craggy and knobby, kind of like little toads. But they have a beautiful crumbly texture and act like sponges for the fruit juice without getting soggy. These are SOOOOO delicious that I can hoover a few of them in one sitting!

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     dessert

Time 57m

Yield Serves: 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pint strawberries, topped and quartered
1 pint raspberries
2 tablespoons sugar
Grated zest and juice of 1 orange
6 fresh mint leaves, cut into a chiffonade (see page 58)
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch of kosher salt
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cold, cut into pea-size pieces
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pint vanilla ice cream, taken out of the freezer about 15 minutes before serving

Steps:

  • For the fruit: In a large bowl, toss together the strawberries, raspberries, sugar, orange zest, and orange juice. Let the mixture sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the fruit to release some of its juice.
  • For the shortcakes: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. In a food processor, combine the flour, 1 tablespoon of the sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pulse to combine. Toss in the butter, heavy cream, and vanilla and pulse, pulse, pulse until the mixture comes together to form a rough ball; it should look fairly crumbly.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. With lightly floured hands, form the dough into craggy-looking balls, a bit larger than golf balls. They should look a little like toads and DEFINITELY not be perfect. Place the balls on the baking sheet and squish each ball to flatten it some; sprinkle the balls with the remaining tablespoon of sugar.
  • Put the cakes in the oven and bake for 11 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove and let cool.
  • To assemble: Toss the mint with the fruit and stir to combine. Cut the shortcakes in half equatorially, place the bottom halves on individual plates, and divide the fruit and juice among them. Place a scoop of ice cream on top of the fruit, replace the tops, and serve immediately.

PINEAPPLE-CITRUS SHORTCAKES



Pineapple-Citrus Shortcakes image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Grated zest of 1 lemon, plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Grated zest of 1/2 lime
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3/4 cup heavy cream, plus more for brushing
1 large egg
Clear sanding sugar, for sprinkling
1/2 large pineapple, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick chunks
7 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
1 cup cold heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

Steps:

  • Make the shortcakes: Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Pulse the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, lemon zest and lime zest in a food processor until combined. Add the butter and pulse until it is in pea-size pieces. Whisk the heavy cream, egg and lemon juice in a small bowl. Pulsing constantly, drizzle the cream mixture into the flour mixture; pulse until the flour is moistened and clumps form. Transfer to a medium bowl and knead 3 or 4 times to bring the dough together.
  • Scoop 6 balls of dough (about 1/2 cup each) onto the prepared baking sheet using a large ice cream scoop or a measuring cup, spacing the dough 2 to 3 inches apart. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly brush each ball of dough with heavy cream and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling: Toss the pineapple with 5 tablespoons granulated sugar, the orange zest and lime zest; cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 6 hours.
  • Beat the heavy cream with the remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and the allspice in a medium bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until medium peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Split each shortcake and fill with the pineapple and whipped cream.

CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY SHORTCAKES



Chocolate Raspberry Shortcakes image

Here, strawberry shortcake is transformed into a chocolate raspberry shortcake, dark and delicious but somehow more grown-up than the traditional dish. Cocoa gives depth, but it can also make cake taste slightly bitter, so honey is added to the dough to counter this. Raspberries offset the chocolate cakes much better than strawberries would, though it would not be a crime to use them. If you have a supply of gorgeous dark, sour-sweet blackberries on hand, they would definitely be a suitable fruity alternative to the raspberries.

Provided by Nigella Lawson

Categories     dessert

Time 40m

Yield 12 shortcakes, and filling for 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

Vegetable oil or nonstick spray, for pan
1 2/3 cups flour
1/3 cup cocoa
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons sugar
8 tablespoons (1 stick) diced chilled butter
1 large egg
1 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
1 cup raspberries

Steps:

  • To prepare shortcakes, heat oven to 400 degrees. Oil bottom of each cup in a 12-cup muffin pan. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and sugar. Using a pastry blender or an electric mixer, or working by hand, cut in the butter until mixture resembles damp sand. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, sour cream, vanilla and honey. Add to flour mixture, and stir until thoroughly blended.
  • Put a scant 1/4 cup dough into each muffin cup. (Do not use muffin papers.) Bake until risen and firm on top, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat, and allow to cool. Then remove from pan, and cool completely. Place 6 shortcakes in an airtight freezer bag, and freeze for another use.
  • To prepare filling for 6 shortcakes, whip heavy cream with 2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar until thick but still soft. Add 1/2 cup raspberries to cream, mashing them roughly with a fork.
  • Split each shortcake in half horizontally, and place a dollop of raspberry cream onto bottom half. Add a portion of whole raspberries, and put the top back on at an angle. Sprinkle a dusting of the remaining 1 teaspoon confectioners' sugar over shortcakes, and serve.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your shortcakes will taste. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter will make your shortcakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking will help to prevent the shortcakes from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Don't Overbake the Shortcakes: Overbaking the shortcakes will make them dry and crumbly. Bake just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the Shortcakes Cool Completely: Before you assemble the shortcakes, let them cool completely. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
  • Use a Variety of Berries: You can use any type of berries you like in this recipe. Some popular options include strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries.
  • Make a Citrus Glaze: A citrus glaze is a great way to add a pop of flavor to your shortcakes. Simply combine some lemon juice, orange juice, and sugar in a small saucepan and heat until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Serve the Shortcakes Immediately: Shortcakes are best served immediately after they are made. Enjoy them with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream.
