Purple Thai Napoleon With Fresh Raspberries Mango Recipe 435

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out puff pastry to a 10-by-15-inch rectangle. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Prick pastry all over with a fork. Cover completely with another sheet of parchment paper; weight with another baking sheet (same size or slightly smaller) to prevent pastry from puffing up unevenly. Bake, occasionally pressing top sheet down, until pastry is golden, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove top sheet and parchment, and let pastry cool.
• Transfer pastry to a cutting board. With a serrated knife, carefully trim and discard edges; cut into 12 equal pieces.
• Dividing evenly, put a large dollop of pudding (2 to 3 tablespoons) on 8 of the 12 pastry pieces; top with raspberries and a little more pudding.
• Assemble napoleons on serving plates: For each napoleon, stack two pieces of pastry already topped with pudding and raspberries, then top with a plain piece. Dust lightly with confectioners' sugar.
• Make Raspberry Sauce (optional): In a small bowl, stir together 1/4 cup raspberry jam and 1 tablespoon water; pass through a fine-mesh sieve. Thin with additional water if needed.
• Garnish plate with Raspberry Sauce, if desired.

Steps:

• In a small pan, bring the cranberry juice and sugar to a rolling boil, then remove from the heat and leave to cool.
• Meanwhile, peel and thinly slice the mango, then tip into a large bowl with the raspberries. Pour the cranberry syrup over, then spoon into bowls. Serve with scoops of ice cream or spoonfuls of yogurt.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Roll out 1 puff pastry sheet on a floured work surface until it is 1/4-inch thick. Cut into 16 squares. Transfer to a baking sheet and prick all over with a fork. Repeat with remaining puff pastry sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned on the top and bottom, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool, about 10 minutes.
• Combine cream cheese, white sugar, heavy cream, and lemon zest in a bowl. Mix by hand until smooth and glossy. Dollop cream cheese mixture over 16 squares. Spread out cream cheese mixture and cover with raspberries. Top with the remaining puff pastry squares and dust with confectioners' sugar.

Steps:

• Cook the Purple Thai Rice (using the "sweet rice" recipe on package) and the Jasmine Blend separately per package directions. Cool. Mix Jasmine blend with fresh squeezed orange juice and mint, set aside. Sweeten creme fraiche with powdered to taste, set aside. Using a 1-1/2 x 2 inch mold (*see notes below), start by placing the Jasmine blend in the bottom (packing each layer lightly) then the raspberries, the Purple Thai rice, sweetened creme fraiche and finish with the fresh mango. Each layer must be lightly packed in. Refrigerate until needed.
