Vanilla Crusted Strawberries Recipes

Steps:

• Mix wafer crumbs, sugar and butter; press onto bottom of 13x9-inch pan. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Beat cream cheese and 2 Tbsp. milk in large bowl with whisk until blended. Stir in half the COOL WHIP; spread over crust. Top with berries. Beat pudding mixes and 3-1/2 cups milk with whisk 2 min.; pour over berries.
• Refrigerate 4 hours. Spread with remaining COOL WHIP just before serving.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Pour the melted butter into the baking dish (or melt it right in the dish). Use the tip of a sharp knife to scrape the insides of the vanilla bean into the pan. Place the strawberries (cut side down) in the pan. Sprinkle the berries with brown sugar and lay the vanilla pod over the berries. Bake until they are slumped and feel soft, about 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool 20 minutes, then remove the berries from the pan and pour the pan juices into a small skillet.
• Add the vinegar and red wine to the skillet and heat the mixture to a simmer. Turn off the heat and whisk in the cold butter. When ready to serve, place 6 strawberries on each serving plate. Drizzle the warm sauce over and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Dissolve 2 teaspoons sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt in 1 cup hot water. Add 1 cup quartered strawberries, 1/4 cup red wine vinegar and 1 thinly sliced shallot; let sit 10 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 tablespoon liquid. Toss 1 head each torn red leaf and butter lettuce with 2 tablespoons olive oil, the reserved liquid and the berries and shallot; season with salt and pepper. Top with toasted pine nuts.

Steps:

• Place strawberries in a heatproof bowl. Combine water,sugar, vanilla, lemon zest, and peppercorns in a smallsaucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, and cookfor 1 minute. Pour syrup over strawberries. Let standuntil cool, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine rhubarb, strawberries, bourbon, and sugar in a medium bowl. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean. Cut bean into 4 pieces and add to bowl; stir mixture until sugar begins to dissolve.
• Place four 16x12" sheets of parchment paper, or heavy-duty foil if grilling, on a work surface. Divide mixture evenly among sheets, arranging on one side of each sheet. Fold parchment over mixture and crimp edges tightly to form a sealed packet. DO AHEAD: Foil packets can be made 4 hours ahead; parchment packets should not be made ahead. Chill. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before continuing.
• Preheat oven to 425°F. Place packets on a small rimmed baking sheet. Alternatively, build a medium fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to medium-high. Bake or grill packets until rhubarb is tender but not mushy (carefully open 1 packet to check; steam will escape), 10-12 minutes for thinner rhubarb, 14-16 minutes for thicker. Carefully cut open packets. Transfer mixture to bowls. Top with yogurt, honey, and pistachios.
