Butterpecanmousse Recipes

Steps:

• In a saucepan, warm the peanut butter and milk then whisk to combine. In a mixer with a whip attachment, whip the cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until medium peaks. Bloom the gelatin in the water and add to the warm peanut butter. Strain into a bowl and fold in the whipped cream mixture. Pour into flexi dome molds and freeze overnight.
• Pop the frozen peanut butter mousses out of the molds and place on a wire icing rack. Ladle the ganache over to coat. Remove from the rack with a spatula and place on parchment paper in the refrigerator until set, about 10 minutes.
• Garnish mousse with a pinch of chopped peanuts on the top and serve with caramel red wine sauce.
• Heat the cream and pour over the chopped chocolate. Whisk to combine.
• In a saucepan boil sugar and water together to make a light caramel. With a wooden spoon stir in the red wine, slowly. Chill.

Steps:

• Prepare the pecans: Preheat the oven to 350°.
• Put the 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of butter in a shallow baking pan with the chopped pecans and put the pan in the oven for 15- 20 minutes, stirring the pecans and melted butter every few minutes, until the fragrance is wonderfully toasty.
• Watch carefully near the end to avoid burning.
• Remove from pan and set aside.
• Grease and flour three 8 or 9-inch round layer cake pans.
• Prepare the cake: In the large bowl of an electric mixer, cream the 3/4 cup (1 1/2) sticks of butter.
• Beat in the 2 cups of sugar, creaming well.
• Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.
• Add the 2 teaspoons of vanilla to the milk.
• Beat the flour mixture into the batter in thirds, alternating with the milk mixture.
• Fold in 1 1/3 cups of the butter-toasted pecans into the cake batter.
• Divide batter equally into the prepared pans.
• Bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
• Cool and remove from pans.
• Prepare the frosting: Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan over low-medium heat and stir in the flour.
• Stir until all of the flour has been moistened or at least colored a little by the butter.
• Stir in the milk just a little at a time, stirring constantly and incorporating all the milk each time before adding more, working to incorporate all the flour and avoid lumps.
• Continue until all the milk is in and the mixture is thickened and smooth.
• Transfer to the small bowl of an electric mixer, and beat to remove any lumps you missed.
• Cool completely.
• When the flour mixture is cool, beat in the teaspoon of vanilla, then the softened butter.
• Add the 1 cup of sugar, and beat 2 minutes at medium speed, until the mixture is fluffy and no graininess from sugar remains.
• Fold in the fat-free Cool Whip and the remaining 2/3 cup of butter-toasted pecans.
• Fill and frost the top of the cake.
