Mojito Whipped Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Microwave heavy cream until hot but not boiling, about 1 minute. Add mint leaves and let stand in refrigerator until cold, about 1 hour. Strain out mint leaves. In a chilled small glass bowl and using chilled beaters, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add confectioners' sugar, lime zest and extract; beat until soft peaks form. Store in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• For puffs:
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Bring milk, butter, and salt to boil in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until butter melts. Add flour all at once. Reduce heat to medium and stir with wooden spoon until dough forms ball and some batter films bottom of pan thickly, about 4 minutes. Transfer dough to medium bowl and cool 5 minutes. Using electric mixer, beat in eggs and yolks 1 at a time.
• Drop dough by generous tablespoonfuls 3 inches apart onto baking sheets, making about 24 puffs. Smooth tops with wet fingertips.
• Bake puffs 15 minutes. Reverse sheets and bake puffs until deep golden, about 10 minutes longer. Make small slit in side of each puff. Return to oven, turn off heat, and let dry 15 minutes. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
• For filling:
• Stir mango and sour cream in medium bowl to blend. Beat whipping cream and 1/2 cup powdered sugar in large bowl until peaks form. Fold whipped cream into mango mixture. Cover bowl; refrigerate filling at least 30 minutes and up to 3 hours.
• Cut cream puffs horizontally in half. Spoon heaping tablespoon filling into each bottom half; cover with tops. Sift remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar over.
• Divide cream puffs among 8 plates. Spoon sauce onto plates and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350. Spray bottom of 13x9 pan with baking spray (with flour).
• Beat cake ingredients in large bowl on low speed for 30 seconds; increase to medium speed and beat 2 minutes. Pour batter into prepared pan; bake about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix glaze ingredients in a medium saucepan and heat to boiling over high heat, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium, boil for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until glaze has thickened slightly.
• Poke warm cake with fork every inch. Pour glaze slowly over cake. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
• In a small bowl, beat whipping cream and powdered sugar on high speed until soft peaks form. Garnish each serving with whipped cream, mint leaf, and shredded lime peel. Store loosely covered at room temperature.

Steps:

• Pre heat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a food processor pulse crackers and butter till mixed and crumbled.
• Place in a greased pie shell, pressing to form a pie crust.
• Place mint leaves in lime juice and stir to release the mint oils.
• Place the eggs in a bowl, gently stir in milk and juice.
• Pour into pie shell. The filling won`t fill completely to the top of the crust. That rooms for the whipped cream.
• Bake for 35 minutes till set.
• Chill overnight.
• Put all whipped cream ingredients in a medium deep chilled bowl, beat until soft peaks form. Can be made up to four hours ahead and refrigerated. Spread on pie.
• Garnish with mint leave and lime.
