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.

SUNSET SHORTCAKE



Sunset Shortcake image

Provided by Sandra Lee

Categories     dessert

Time 10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (14-ounce) container frozen sweetened, sliced strawberries, thawed (recommended: Dole)
2 (8-ounce) cans pineapple chunks, drained
1/2 cup orange marmalade
1 (16- ounce) frozen pound cake, thawed (recommended: Sara Lee)
1 (8-ounce) container strawberry cream cheese
Pressurized whipped cream
Mint sprig, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a bowl, stir together strawberries, pineapple, and marmalade; set aside.
  • Slice thawed pound cake into 16 slices. Spread half of the slices with cream cheese. Set on serving plate. Spoon half of strawberry mixture over pound cake slices. Top with remaining pound cake slices and strawberry mixture.
  • Serve garnished with whipped cream and a sprig of mint.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pineapple. Fresh pineapple has a sweeter and more intense flavor than canned pineapple. If you're using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the biscuits tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the biscuits before baking. Chilling the biscuits will help them to rise more evenly.
  • Bake the biscuits until they're golden brown. The biscuits are done baking when they're golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve the shortcake warm. Shortcake is best served warm, with whipped cream and fresh pineapple.

Conclusion:

Pineapple shortcake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that's perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a classic dessert that everyone will love.
