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!

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.

FROZEN MELON WITH CRUSHED RASPBERRIES AND LIME



Frozen Melon With Crushed Raspberries and Lime image

Inspired by packed cups of Italian ice, this frozen melon dessert is the best way to enjoy melon (besides eating it fresh). Be sure to season it with enough citrus juice to give some dimension to the melon, which tends to read as simply sweet. Frozen melon can be made two weeks ahead, either scraped or unscraped. (If scraped, store in a resealable plastic container and re-fluff before serving.)

Time 4h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups/640 grams cut melon, such as cantaloupe, watermelon or charentais, or a mixture (buy it precut, or remove the rind of a whole melon and cut into 2-inch chunks to get 4 cups)
1/2 cup/120 milliliters fresh lime juice, plus more as needed
2 tablespoons granulated sugar, plus more as needed
6 ounces/90 grams raspberries
1 tablespoon finely grated lime zest
Sumac (optional)
Flaky sea salt (optional)

Steps:

  • Blend melon in a food processor or blender until completely smooth; you should have about 4 cups purée. Transfer to a 9-by-4-inch loaf pan (or a shallow baking dish, if you have space for it in your freezer).
  • Add 1/2 cup lime juice and 2 tablespoons sugar and stir to blend; season with more lime juice and sugar, as needed. The mixture should be fairly tart and sweet. (The sweetness dulls once the mixture is frozen, so stay on the sweeter side now.) Place in freezer and let freeze until completely solid, anywhere from 2 to 4 hours, depending on your freezer.
  • Once the mixture is frozen, use a spoon or fork to scrape the frozen melon into a fluffy pile of ice. If it becomes soft or melty when scraping, place it in the freezer until it's solid enough to scrape again.
  • If serving immediately, lightly pack some of the ice into serving glasses or bowls. (If not, transfer the ice to a resealable container and freeze until ready to serve. The frozen melon can be prepared up to 2 weeks ahead; if scraped, it might need a little re-fluffing before serving.) Top each serving with raspberries and use a spoon or fork to crush them into the ice. Top with more ice, followed by a bit of lime zest, and then a little sumac and flaky salt, if using.
