Truvia Natural Sweetener Cinnamon Palmiers Food

PALMIERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine the sugar, cinnamon, and orange zest in a bowl. Sprinkle 1/2 the sugar mix on a clean work surface. Lay the puff pastry on top of the sugar and sprinkle the remaining sugar mix on top of the pastry.
• Using a rolling pin, roll the sugar into the dough, and roll the dough into an even rectangle, about 1/8-inch thick.
• Working from the short ends of the rectangle, roll up each end of the dough to meet in the middle. Lay the rolls on top of each other and gently press to secure. Wrap the dough in plastic and let sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
• Cut the dough into slices that are 1/4-inch thick. Lay the slices on 2 parchment paper or silpat-lined sheet trays and bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes. Turn the slices over and bake for another 6 to 7 minutes. When done, the cookies should be golden brown.
• Remove from the oven, and cool on a rack before serving.

PALMIERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Combine the sugar and kosher salt. Pour 1 cup of the sugar/salt mixture on a flat surface such as wooden board or marble. Unfold each sheet of puff pastry onto the sugar and pour 1/2 cup of the sugar mixture on top, spreading it evenly on the puff pastry. This is not about sprinkling, it's about an even covering of sugar. With a rolling pin, roll the dough until it's 13 by 13-inches square and the sugar is pressed into the puff pastry on top and bottom. Fold the sides of the square towards the center so they go halfway to the middle. Fold them again so the two folds meet exactly at the middle of the dough. Then fold 1 half over the other half as though closing a book. You will have 6 layers. Slice the dough into 3/8-inch slices and place the slices, cut side up, on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Place the second sheet of pastry on the sugared board, sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar mixture, and continue as above. (There will be quite a bit of sugar left over on the board.) Slice and arrange on baking sheets lined with parchment.
• Bake the cookies for 6 minutes until caramelized and brown on the bottom, then turn with a spatula and bake another 3 to 5 minutes, until caramelized on the other side. Transfer to a baking rack to cool.

TRUVIA® NATURAL SWEETENER HOT SPICED CIDER

Steps:

• Combine Truvia® natural sweetener, water, cinnamon and ginger in a heavy pot and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes, until Truvia® natural sweetener is dissolved and the syrup is deeply spiced. Set aside.
• Before serving, add the syrup, lemon juice and cider in a pot and keep warm over low heat (without boiling) until ready to serve. Serve with a cinnamon stick and a slice of lemon, if desired.

TRUVIA® NATURAL SWEETENER SWEET AND SPICY COCKTAIL NUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F. Spray or lightly grease a baking sheet with sides.
• Whisk together Truvia® natural sweetener, spices and salt and set aside. Whip the egg white and water until foamy and holds a soft peak, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the nuts and toss to coat completely in whipped egg white. Add the spice mixture and toss to coat completely.
• Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and spread out into an even layer. Bake 1 hour, until nuts are toasty and crisp, stirring every 15 minutes. Cool completely. Serve at room temperature.

COCOA PALMIERS

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Pulse the butter, 3 tablespoons sugar, the cocoa powder, breadcrumbs, egg yolk, cinnamon and flour in a food processor until smooth.
• Spread the remaining 1 cup sugar on a clean surface. Unfold the puff pastry and set it on top of the sugar, pressing gently to coat. Flip and coat the other side, then roll out the sheet into a 13-inch square.
• Drop mounds of the cocoa mixture onto the puff pastry and spread in a thin, even layer. Using your fingers, roll 1 side of the pastry into the center, then roll the opposite side into the center to meet it. Trim the short ends with a knife. (If the rolled-up dough is soft, refrigerate until firm.)
• Cut the dough roll crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick pieces and arrange cut-side down, about 2 inches apart, on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until golden and crisp on the bottom, 4 to 6 minutes; flip with a thin spatula, switch the position of the pans and continue baking until golden on the other side, 4 to 6 more minutes. Let cool 1 minute on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
