Plum And Black Cherry Buttermilk Shortcakes With Ginger Cardamom Whipped Cream Food

BLACK PLUM & CARDAMOM CRUMBLE

Steps:

• For the filling: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Place a 9-by-13-inch baking dish on a parchment lined baking sheet.
• Slice the plums in half and remove the pits. Cut each half into 6 thin wedges and place in a large mixing bowl. Add the flour, honey, cardamom and salt. Toss until evenly coated. Pour into the baking dish in an even layer.
• For the topping: Whisk together the flours, sugars, baking powder, salt and cardamom in a mixing bowl. Pour in the melted butter and stir together until clumps of various sizes are formed. Toss the nuts into the mixture. Pour over the fruit in an even layer, leaving some fruit exposed. Bake until the topping is golden brown and the fruit syrup is bubbly, about 40 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
• For the ice cream: Mix the ice cream, ground cinnamon and caramel sauce lightly to swirl in a bowl. Serve on the side of the cobbler.

PUMPKIN PIE EGG ROLLS WITH CARDAMOM WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Heat 3 inches oil to 325 degrees F in a Dutch oven or deep skillet.
• Whisk the heavy cream, powdered sugar, cardamom and ginger together in a bowl until soft peaks form. Transfer to a serving bowl and set aside in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• Scoop the pumpkin pie filling into a bowl and mix together until smooth. Spoon into a large piping bag and snip off the tip to make a 1/2-inch hole. Place an egg roll wrapper on a work surface with one of the flat sides facing you. Brush the edges with the egg wash. Pipe a horizontal line of the pumpkin pie filling just above the brushed edge closest to you. Fold in the sides and roll up to the top edge, making sure it seals. Continue with the remaining filling and wrappers.
• Fry the egg rolls in batches until all sides are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Meanwhile, add the granulated sugar and cinnamon to a large bowl. Remove the egg rolls from the fryer and add immediately to the cinnamon-sugar mixture, tossing to coat.
• Place the egg rolls on a platter and serve alongside the whipped cream.

GINGERED BLACKBERRY AND BLACK PLUM SHORTCAKES

Steps:

• Make the biscuits: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Add 1 1/4 cups cream, and mix just until moistened.
• Turn dough onto a floured surface, and pat into a 3/4-inch-thick round. Using a 3-inch biscuit cutter, cut 6 rounds (reuse scraps); transfer to a baking sheet. Brush tops with remaining 2 tablespoons cream, and sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Bake until golden, 15 to 20 minutes; transfer to a wire rack to cool.
• Make the filling: In a large bowl, combine plums, blackberries, 1/4 cup sugar, and salt. Squeeze grated ginger over fruit, releasing juice; discard pulp. Toss gently to combine. Let sit at least 15 minutes and up to 1 hour.
• Just before serving, in a large bowl, whip cream and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar until soft peaks form.
• With a serrated knife, halve biscuits horizontally. Place bottom half of each biscuit, cut side up, on a serving plate; top with fruit, whipped cream, and biscuit tops.
