White Chocolate Raspberry Delight Food

COOL AND CREAMY RASPBERRY DELIGHT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300° In a large bowl, mix flour and sugar; cut in butter until crumbly. Press onto bottom of an ungreased 13x9-in. pan. Bake until set, 20-25 minutes (crust will not brown). Cool completely on a wire rack., Beat first four filling ingredients until smooth. Fold in whipped topping; spread over crust. , For topping, add boiling water to gelatin; stir 2 minutes to completely dissolve. Add raspberries; stir until blended. Refrigerate until mixture begins to thicken, about 20 minutes. Spoon over filling. Refrigerate until set. If desired, serve with additional whipped topping.

WHITE CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• Sprinkle the frozen raspberries with flour and put them back in the freezer until you incorporate them into the mixture.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
• Work in the grated butter with a fork just until the mixture is incorporated.
• Add in the chopped white chocolate.
• In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond extract, and heavy whipping cream.
• Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until all is moistened and holds together.
• Gently mix in the frozen raspberries, folding the dough 3-4 times. There will be some bleeding into the dough and that is ok! (I prefer it!)
• Line a baking sheet with parchment. Sprinkle a bit of flour on top of the parchment or pan.
• Scrape the dough onto the floured parchment or pan, and make a circle. The circle should be about ¾ inch thick.
• Place the pan of uncut scones in the freezer for 30-60 minutes, uncovered. (Chilling the scones helps to relax the gluten in the flour, which makes the scones tender and helps to ensure they will rise higher. It also chills the fat, which will make the scones a bit flakier.)
• Preheat the oven to 425°F.
• After the scones have chilled, use a knife or bench scraper and slice the circle into 6-8 wedges. (I prefer 8)
• Carefully pull the wedges away from the center to separate them just a bit; there should be about 1/2 inch space between them.
• Brush on the heavy cream (making sure to cover the sides) and sprinkle the turbinado sugar.
• Bake the scones in the middle of your oven for 18-23 minutes.
• Remove the scones from the oven, and cool briefly on the pan. Serve warm.

WHITE CHOCOLATE-RASPBERRY DELIGHT

Steps:

• Process cookies in food processor until fine crumbs form; spoon into medium bowl. Add butter; mix well. Press onto bottom of 13x9-inch pan. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Beat cream cheese, sugar and 2 Tbsp. milk in large bowl with mixer until blended. Add raspberries; mix well. Gently stir in 2 cups COOL WHIP; spread over crust.
• Beat pudding mixes and 2-1/2 cups milk in bowl with whisk 2 min.; pour over dessert. Let stand 5 min. or until thickened. Cover with remaining COOL WHIP.
• Refrigerate 4 hours or until firm.

WHITE CHOCOLATE & RASPBERRY CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease and line the base of 2 x 20cm round, loose-bottomed cake tins. Put the butter and chocolate in a heatproof mixing bowl, set over a pan of barely simmering water and allow to melt slowly, stirring occasionally.
• When the butter and chocolate have melted, remove from the heat and allow to cool for 1-2 mins, then beat in the eggs and sugar with an electric whisk. Fold in the flour and raspberries.
• Gently pour the mixture into the tins and bake for 20-25 mins or until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean (the raspberries may leave a residue on the skewer, so don't be fooled by their juiciness). Remove the cakes from the oven and allow to cool in the tins for 10 mins before turning out onto a wire rack.
• To make the ganache, put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl with 100ml of the cream, set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir until the chocolate has melted into the cream and you are left with a smooth, glossy ganache. Leave the ganache to cool to room temperature, then beat in the rest of the cream.
• When the cakes have cooled, sandwich them together with the chocolate ganache. Dust with icing sugar just before serving.

RASPBERRY-WHITE CHOCOLATE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C).
• Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner.
• Place fresh raspberries about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 4 hours, then turn oven off, leaving the berries inside for 8 hours, or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner.
• Roughly chop dried raspberries into smaller pieces and measure out ½ cup for this recipe. Reserve any extra for another use.
• Grate white chocolate on the fine side of a grater until you have ½ cup.
• Whisk 2 cups flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder together in a mixing bowl. Grate cold butter into the flour mixture, tossing every so often to coat it with flour so it doesn't start to clump. When all butter has been added, work it into the flour with a pastry blender. Add grated white chocolate and toss with a fork to incorporate.
• Whisk ¾ cup milk and sour cream together in a liquid measure, then pour that into the flour mixture. Mix with a fork until everything just barely comes together to form a shaggy dough.
• Transfer dough to a generously floured work surface and without kneading, push and pack it together with your hands until it holds its shape, adding a little flour if it's too sticky. Press dough into a rectangle, about ¾-inch thick, and roughly twice as long as it is wide.
• Sprinkle dried raspberries evenly over the dough. Spread berries out almost to the edges and press them into the dough gently. Using a bench scraper, lift one third of the dough from one of the shorter edges and fold it in over the center third; press it down and square off the edges. Repeat with the other side so your scone dough is three layers thick.
• Cut the rectangle in half with the bench scraper, then cut each half into 2 triangles. Transfer scones to the prepared baking sheet.
• Whisk egg and 1 tablespoon milk together. Brush egg wash over each scone and sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake in the upper center of the preheated oven until browned, about 25 minutes.
• Quickly and carefully transfer to a rack and let cool completely before serving, about 30 minutes.
