FRANGELICO BALLS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the crumbs, the first amount of icing sugar, nuts, cocoa and cinnamon; combine well.
• Dissolve coffee in boiling water, then stir in liqueur and vanilla into coffee.
• Mix wet mixture into dry mixture until all ingredients are moistened.
• Shape mixture into one-inch balls (depending on the temperature in your kitchen, you may have to chill mixture first to get them to hold together properly) and roll in either white sugar or icing sugar.
• Keep prepared balls refrigerated in a covered container.
• These will be great straight-off, but will improve if allowed to mellow for at least a day or two before serving.

CHICKEN FRANGELICO

Steps:

• Cut the chicken in ½ lengthwise & pound to ¼ inch thick. Rince the chicken under cold water them pat dry with paper towel. On a plate combine the flour and Italian seasoning and stir to combine thoroughly. Season the chicken with salt and pepper then dredge in flour mixture.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoons oil. Working in batches, sear the chicken until golden brown, about 3 min, per side. Remove and set aside.
• Drain the fat from the skillet and return the skillet to the heat. Add 2 tablespoons butter when it is melted, add in the shallots. Cook, stirring, until wilted, about 3 minute Add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are golden brown around the edges and the liquid evaporates, about 4 to 6 minute.
• Add in the Frangelico and bring to a boil, scraping the bottom of the skillet and reduce by half. Add in the stock and worcestershire sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce until the sauce has slightly thickened.
• Lower heat to medium, return the chicken and continue to cook until the chicken has cooked through and the sauce has thickened, about 5 to 6 minute Swirl in 2 tablespoons of butter and season with salt and pepper. Garnish with the parsley, plate and serve immediately.
• Serve with pasta of your choice.

FRANGELICO TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Combine the coffee and 1 cup Frangelico in a pitcher, and allow to cool if the coffee is hot.
• Whisk the egg whites till frothy. In a separate bowl beat the yolks and sugar with the 1/4 cup Frangelico for the filling. Add the mascarpone to the yolks and sugar mixture, beating it in well to mix. Gently fold in the foamy egg whites, and mix again.
• Pour half of the coffee and Frangelico mixture into a wide shallow bowl and dunk enough Savoiardi cookies for a layer, about 4 at a time, into the liquid, coating both sides. Line your tiramisu dish with the soaked Savoiardi cookies; they should be damp but not falling to pieces (though it wouldn't matter if they did). Pour any leftover liquid from the dipping process over the layer you have made.
• Put half the mascarpone mixture on top of the soaked cookies and spread to make an even layer. Pour the remaining coffee and Frangelico mixture from the pitcher into the shallow dish and make another, final, layer of Savoiardi, dipping as before and layering on top of the mascarpone in the dish.
• Pour any leftover liquid over the Savoiardi layer, and then cover with the final layer of mascarpone. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and leave overnight, or for at least 6 hours, in the refrigerator.
• When you are ready to serve, take the tiramisu out of the refrigerator and remove the plastic wrap. Mix the chopped roasted hazelnuts with 2 teaspoons of cocoa and sprinkle over the top layer of mascarpone. Then dust with the final teaspoon of cocoa powder, pushing it through a strainer for lighter coverage, over the nut-rubbly tiramisu.
