BERRY ALMOND MORNING BUNS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the berry compote: Add the berries and water to a small saucepan over medium heat. Once bubbling, reduce the heat to medium-low and use a wooden spoon to muddle and mash the fruit. Continue cooking for 10-12 minutes, occasionally stirring and mashing the berries, until most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the sugar and vanilla. Transfer the compote to a heat-proof container and let cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Make the almond paste: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Spread the sliced almonds in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast for about 5 minutes, or until the almonds just begin to turn golden brown.
• In a food processor, combine the toasted almonds, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Pulse until the almonds break down to medium crumbs. Add the butter and process until a smooth paste forms. Add the egg and vanilla and continue to process until the egg is fully incorporated. Transfer the almond paste to a small bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 week.
• Make the dough: Add the warm milk to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and sprinkle the yeast on top. Let sit for about 3 minutes, until the mixture is frothy.
• Add the eggs, melted butter, salt, and brown sugar and mix on medium-low speed to combine. Add the flour and mix on low speed until combined. Turn off the mixer and let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
• After resting, scrape the dough off the paddle attachment and attach the dough hook to the mixer. Mix on medium speed for 3 minutes, adding up to ½ cup more flour if needed to form a smooth and elastic dough. The dough should not be sticky, but may still stick to the sides of the bowl slightly.
• Grease a large bowl with nonstick spray. Transfer the dough to the bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let rise at room temperature for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
• Turn out the dough onto a generously floured surface and flour a rolling pin. Roll the dough out to a roughly 18 × 14-inch rectangle. Spread the almond paste over the dough, all the way to the edges. Top with the berry compote, spreading evenly. Starting from a long end, roll the dough up tightly. Transfer the roll to the refrigerator for 30 minutes (this will make cutting easier).
• Use a serrated knife to cut the dough roll into even 9 pieces, then transfer to an 8-inch square baking dish. Cover the pan with a kitchen towel and let the rolls rise for about 30 minutes, or until expanded slightly.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Add the heavy cream to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for about 30 seconds, until warm, but not scalding.
• Once the rolls have risen, pour the heavy cream over the top of the rolls, allowing it to soak into and around the rolls.
• Bake the rolls for 20-22 minutes, until light golden brown and the center rolls are cooked through. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
• While the rolls are baking, make the frosting: Add the butter and cream cheese to a medium bowl. Cream with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until light and airy. Add the powdered sugar and mix on low speed to combine. Add the vanilla and mix on medium-high speed for 1-2 minutes, until the frosting is fluffy.
• Spread the frosting over the rolls, then top with sliced almonds and more berries.
• Enjoy!

RAINBOW S'MORES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, stir together ½ cup water and the gelatin powder. Let sit for 10 minutes to bloom.
• In a small pot fitted with a candy thermometer, combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup, and remaining ½ cup water. Cook over medium-high heat, without stirring, until the temperature reaches 240°F (115°C), 15-20 minutes.
• Turn the mixer speed to medium-low and slowly drizzle the sugar syrup into the bloomed gelatin. Increase the mixer speed to high and whip until the mixture is opaque white and doubled in volume, 8-10 minutes. Add the salt and vanilla and beat for 2 minutes more.
• Divide the marshmallow mixture evenly between 3 medium bowls. Add the red food coloring to one bowl, yellow food coloring to another, and blue to the last and stir until each bowl is evenly colored.
• In a small bowl using a fork or whisk, stir together the cornstarch and powdered sugar.
• Use a pastry brush to evenly grease a nonstick 8-inch square pan with the vegetable oil. Use a small sieve to dust the pan with some of the cornstarch and powdered sugar mixture. Tilt the pan to coat evenly, then tap out any excess.
• Using ice cream scoops, alternate scooping each color marshmallow into the prepared pan, working quickly so the marshmallow does not begin to set. Swirl the colors together using a skewer or knife. Dust the top with more of the powdered sugar mixture.
• Let the marshmallows at room temperature, uncovered, for at least 4 hours, up to overnight.
• Run a butter knife or fish spatula around the edges of the pan to loosen the marshmallow, then invert onto a cutting board. Cut into 9 equal squares. Dust the cut marshmallows all over with more of the powdered sugar mixture to prevent sticking. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 1 month, or freeze for up to 2 months.
• Make the s'mores: Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
• Place the marshmallows between chocolate or honey graham crackers with a piece of milk or white chocolate. Toast in the oven for 1-2 minutes, until the marshmallows are just softened and the chocolate is beginning to melt.
• Enjoy!
