Vanilla Dreams Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray one 9 by 17-inch sheet tray with vegetable spray, line with parchment paper and spray again. In a mixer, using the whip attachment, whip the egg yolks and the sugar until doubled in volume and pale yellow; add vanilla extract. Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder and powdered sugar twice. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl, running at slow speed, until fully incorporated.
• In a clean and greaseless bowl, whip the egg whites until firm but not dry. Incorporate a fifth of the whipped egg whites into the cocoa mixture and mix until well incorporated. Fold the remaining egg whites into the cocoa mixture in 3 batches and immediately spread onto a large baking sheet using an offset spatula, being careful not to overwork the dough. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes.
• Immediately run the tip of a knife around the edge of the cake to loosen it from the sides of the sheet tray then slide it (with the parchment paper) onto a cool surface. Trim dry edges of the cake.
• Vanilla Cream Filling: With an electric mixer, beat together the butter and the vegetable shortening until blended. Turn the mixer down to its lowest setting and gradually add the confectioners' sugar. Turn the mixer back up and beat at high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Gradually beat in the vanilla and corn syrup until the filling is the consistency of sour cream, about 2 minutes more.
• Using a sharp knife, cut the cake in half lengthwise. Using an offset spatula, spread a 1/8-inch thick layer of vanilla cream filling over half of the cake and cut into 5 equal sections per half. Roll up each section tightly (peeling off parchment paper as you roll) and place in the freezer for 30 minutes.
• Melt the bittersweet chocolate in the top of a double boiler and add cocoa butter or vegetable oil. Place the rolls 1 at a time directly in the double boiler of melted chocolate. Coat each roll completely in the chocolate. Using two forks, carefully transfer the rolls to a parchment-lined tray, allowing any excess chocolate to drip back into the double boiler. Continue with the remaining rolls, pouring more of the chocolate onto the plate as needed.

Steps:

• Fill glass with ice. Add Smirnoff Vanilla Flavored Vodka, orange juice, and cranberry juice. Garnish with orange wheel.;

Steps:

• To Prepare the Crêpes:.
• In a blender, add milk, water, flour, melted butter, 6 tablespoons of sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, lemon zest, and orange liqueur, then blend for 10 seconds. Then, pour the batter into a large bowl and place in the refrigerator to let it rest for 1 hour. This allows the bubbles to subside so the crêpes will be less likely to tear during cooking.
• Heat a 10-inch crêpe pan, or a non-stick pan on medium low heat. Add butter to coat and wipe off excess with paper towel. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan. Lift the pan and swirl to spread batter evenly. Or, use a crepe spreader, I personally love this tool. Cook for 2 minutes and flip the crêpe once. Cook the other side for another 1 minute. Remove from heat to a serving plate to cool. Cook the remaining batter until all done, about 24 crepes.
• To Prepare the Vanilla Mascarpone Cream Fillings:.
• In the bowl of the stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or with the electric hand-held mixer), beat the cream and powdered sugar until frothy. Then, add the mascarpone cheese and vanilla bean paste until stiff peak forms.
• To Assemble the Cake:.
• Place 1 crepe in the center of a 10-inch cake board. With an offset spatula, evenly spread 1/4 cup of vanilla cream filling on the crepe, almost to the edges. Top with another piece of crepe. Continue to build the crepe cake until you use up all the crêpes. There should be 1/2 cup of vanilla cream filling left. Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a closed star tip. Gently and loosely wrap the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
• To Prepare the Raspberry Sauce:.
• In a small sauce pan, heat all the ingredient over high heat until the mixture comes to a boil. Lower the heat to medium low heat, stir occasionally, and simmer the mixture for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Pass the raspberry sauce through a strainer to remove the seeds. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
• To Garnish the Cake:.
• Pipe the remaining vanilla cream on top. Add fresh raspberries, a few springs of mints, and edible flowers (optional). Serve plain or drizzle with raspberry sauce. Enjoy!
