Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Pulse 3/4 cup macadamia nuts in a food processor until they resemble coarse crumbs; set aside in a small bowl. Pulse cookies in a food processor until they resemble coarse crumbs. Add cookie crumbs and melted butter to nuts; stir to combine. Press mixture into a 9-inch pie plate. Bake until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely.
• Put pineapple juice, orange zest and juice, 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, salt, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla, and the chopped pineapple into a medium saucepan. Simmer, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until thick and transparent, 5 to 7 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes. Pour into crust. Refrigerate 1 hour (up to overnight).
• Heat 1 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan, stirring to dissolve sugar. Cook over medium heat until thickened and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in remaining 3/4 cup nuts. Spread nuts onto a baking sheet lined with parchment, and let cool completely. Coarsely chop.

MACADAMIA NUT SPRING ROLL WITH CANDIED GINGER

Steps:

• To make the macadamia nut filling, use a small saucepan over medium heat and combine the sugar and water, then bring to a boil and cook until it caramelizes to a nice amber color. Remove from heat and add the cream slowly. Return to heat and stir until sugar and cream are completely incorporated and smooth. Add butter, candied ginger, and chopped nuts, then allow to cool slightly. If mixture gets too firm, simply warm to make pliable.
• To assemble, place the 4 spring roll wrappers down on the table so 1 point is facing 6 o'clock. Divide the mixture evenly between the 4 wrappers. Fold the point facing 6 o'clock over the filling and continue to roll. Fold over the left side, and then the right side to seal the ends and continue to roll until a small triangle remains. Brush edge with water and press to seal the end. Fry in 360 degree F oil just to brown the skin. Cut in half and put aside.
• To make the brown sugar ice cream, begin by bringing the milk, heavy cream, split vanilla bean, and sugar to a boil. Combine yolks and karo syrup and stir. Pour half of the boiling liquid into the yolks and stir until combined. Add remaining liquid and put back on the heat and continue to stir until you reach a temperature of 180 degrees F. Strain and cool in an ice bath. Place in an ice cream freezer and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions.
• To make the pickled carambola, using a medium pot over medium high heat, combine vinegar, sugar, ginger, peppercorns, anise, vanilla, and saffron. Bring just to a boil, then remove from heat. Add carambola, and let steep for 5 minutes. Remove carambola with skimmer and cool. Cool liquid over an ice bath. Add cold carambola to cold syrup, cover, and keep refrigerated.
• To plate, place both spring rolls on a plate with a bowl of the pickled carambola and a bowl of brown sugar ice cream. Serve immediately.

PINEAPPLE MACADAMIA NUT MERINGUE PIES

Steps:

• Make pastry:
• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F. Toast nuts in 1 layer in a shallow baking pan in oven, stirring once or twice, until golden, about 5 minutes. Cool completely in pan on a rack. Coarsely chop 1/4 cup nuts and set aside.
• Pulse flour, sugar, salt, and remaining 1/2 cup nuts in a food processor until nuts are finely chopped, then add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add egg and process until dough begins to come together into a ball but is still crumbly. Form dough into a ball with your hands. Press about 1 tablespoon dough evenly over bottom and up side of each pie plate. Chill shells until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Lightly prick bottoms and sides of chilled pie shells all over with a fork.

• Cool slightly, then spoon a heaping tablespoon of filling into each shell.
• Make meringue topping:
• Beat whites with cream of tartar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until they just hold soft peaks. Gradually beat in sugar and beat until meringue holds stiff, glossy peaks. Spoon about 2 tablespoons meringue over filling of each pie, covering filling completely and sealing meringue to pastry.
• Draw meringue up into small peaks and bake until tops are golden in spots, about 5 minutes.
• Cool pies on racks, about 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
