Lemon Pudding With Raspberries And Gingersnaps Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350ºF.
• Combine crushed gingersnaps and butter; press onto bottoms and halfway up sides of 12 paper-lined muffin cups.
• Bake 8 to 10 min. or until golden brown. Cool completely.
• Meanwhile, beat pudding mix and milk in medium bowl with whisk 2 min. Stir in lemon juice, then 1/4 cup COOL WHIP. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Spoon pudding mixture into resealable plastic bag. Cut 1/2-inch piece off one bottom corner of bag. Use to pipe pudding mixture into tart shells.
• Refrigerate 2 hours. Top with remaining COOL WHIP just before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Butter and sugar ramekins and place 5 or 6 berries in each one. With a whisk attachment, whip the yolks with 1/2 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla, melted butter, lemon zest, and buttermilk.
• Stir the dry ingredients together and slowly mix them into the yolks.
• In a separate bowl, whip the whites until stiff then fold them into the batter.
• Pour the batter into the prepared molds filling almost to the top. Place them in a water bath and cover with foil. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let set 5 minutes before turning the cakes out of their molds.
• To serve, mash the remaining raspberries with the 1 to 2 tablespoons of sugar to make a rough pureed mash. Stir 2 tablespoons sugar into the yogurt. Place the cake on a plate and ring it with the sweetened yogurt and drizzle some raspberry mash through the yogurt.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, beat egg yolks until creamy, 2-3 minutes; set aside.
• In a large saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch.
• Gradually add water and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat, add 2 cups of the hot mixture to the egg yolks, stirring to warm the egg yolks.
• Return entire mixture to the pot and heat 1 minute more.
• Remove from heat and stir in butter, lemon juice,and the lemon zest.
• Transfer to a medium sized bowl, cool to room temperature; about one hour.
• In a large bowl, on medium speed of an electric mixer, whip the cream until stiff peaks form.
• Gently fold in the pudding mixture into the whipped cream until well blended and so streaks of pudding remain.
• To assemble dessert: Select a large wide bowl (preferably glass) with a 4-5 quart capacity.
• Arrange one-third of the gingersnaps to cover the bottom of the bowl, ovelapping if necessary, then one third of the pudding.
• Repeat the layering twice more.
• Garnish the top layer with raspberries.
• Cover tightly with plastic wrap and allow to chill in the refrigerator for 4 hours - or up to 8 - but no longer (!) before serving.

Steps:

• To prepare the cake: Preheat the oven to 325°.
• Whip the egg yolks and 1 cup of the sugar until it reaches the ribbon stage. Add the flour and mix well. Whisk in the lemon juice, salt, and milk until completely combined.
• In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form. Add 1/2 cup of the sugar, and whip until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the lemon mixture.
• Pour the batter into a plastic wrap-lined 9 by 13-inch pan and bake for 30 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Place a piece of plastic wrap over the pudding cake and flip it onto a flat surface. Cut eight 3-inch circles with a ring cutter.
• To prepare the sauce: Reserve 16 raspberries for the garnish. Purée the remaining raspberries with the remaining 1/4 cup sugar for 2 minutes, or until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve.
• Spoon some of the raspberry sauce in the center of each plate and top with a circle of pudding cake. Place 2 raspberries and a mint sprig in the center of each cake.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter 6 (8-ounce) ramekins. Place them in any large baking pan where they can sit without touching one another, such as a 9-by-13-inch pan.
• In a large bowl, whisk together butter, egg yolks, 3/4 cup sugar, buttermilk, lemon zest and juice, and salt until smooth. Whisk in the flour until well combined.
• Using an electric mixer (either handheld or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment), beat egg whites on medium speed until they are thick, white and very foamy, 2 to 4 minutes. Increase speed to high and gradually beat in remaining 1/4 cup sugar, continuing to beat until stiff and glossy peaks form, about 2 to 3 minutes longer.
• Using a rubber spatula, gently fold about a third of the egg whites into the lemon mixture, taking care not to deflate the whites. When no white streaks remain, fold in remaining whites, working carefully. Stop folding when most of the second batch of whites are mixed in, but a few white streaks remain.
• Spoon the batter into the ramekins. Transfer the pan of ramekins to the oven. Carefully, so you don't splash the cakes, pour enough very hot tap water into the pan to come about halfway up the sides of the ramekins. The higher the water level, the more pudding and less cake you'll have.
• Bake until the puddings are puffed and lightly browned on top, 35 to 40 minutes. Take care not to overbake, or there won't be any pudding at the bottom of the ramekins. Carefully transfer the ramekins from the pan to a rack to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. (The combination of tongs or a spatula, plus oven mitts, works well for moving the cakes.)
• As the cakes bake, mix the raspberries and a few pinches of sugar in a bowl, mashing the raspberries slightly to release their juices. Let the raspberries macerate until the sugar melts, about 15 minutes. Then, taste and stir in more sugar if the berries are very tart.
• Serve the cakes warm or at room temperature, with the sugared berries and some of their syrup.

Steps:

• For lemon curd:
• Melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat; whisk in sugar, lemon juice, lemon peel, cream, and pinch of salt. Add eggs and egg yolks; whisk to blend. Cook over medium-low heat until thick enough for mixture to leave path on back of spoon when finger is drawn across, stirring constantly, 6 to 7 minutes (do not boil). Strain into medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing directly atop lemon curd. Chill at least 8 hours or overnight.
• For blackberry compote:
• Toss all ingredients in medium bowl to coat, lightly crushing some of berries to release juices. Cover and chill until sugar dissolves and juices form, about 3 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
• For assembly:
• Place cookies in large resealable plastic bag. Crush cookies with mallet or rolling pin until largest pieces are about 1/2 inch. Using electric mixer, beat cream, mascarpone, and pinch of salt in large bowl just until peaks form. Arrange six 8-ounce parfait glasses or compote cups on work surface. Spoon 4 to 5 berries and some of juices in bowl into each cup. Cover and chill remaining berries in bowl for serving. Spoon 1/4 cup mascarpone whipped cream over berries in each cup, spreading in even layer. Add generous 1 tablespoon curd, spreading to edges. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon crushed gingersnaps over. Repeat layering 1 more time with mascarpone whipped cream, lemon curd, and crushed gingersnaps. Top with remaining cream. Cover; chill desserts at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours.
• Uncover desserts. Spoon remaining berry mixture over and serve.
