Berry Gelato With Splenda Recipes

BERRY GELATO - WITH SPLENDA

Steps:

• Put ingredients into food processor and whirl it till it's thick. Put in Tupperware and pop it in the freezer for a couple hours.

BLUEBERRY GELATO

Steps:

• Add berries and the lemon juice to a blender or food processor fitted with the chopping blade; blend or process until fairly smooth.
• Transfer to a fine-mesh sieve set over a big bowl; gently press the puree against the mash with the back of a wooden spoon to extract as much of the juice and pulp as possible, leaving the skins behind.
• Discard the mass in the sieve and set the puree aside.
• Heat the milk and cream in a saucepan over medium heat until tiny bubbles fizz around the pan's inner rim; adjust heat to maintain this temperature without letting the mixture boil.
• Beat the egg yolks and sugar in a medium bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until pale yellow, thick and grainy, about 2 minutes.
• Whisk about one quarter of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture until smooth, then whisk this combined mixture into the remaining hot milk mixture in the pan.
• Immediately decrease heat to low; cook slowly, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to the consistency of melted ice cream and can coat the back of a wooden spoon, about 4 minutes.
• Strain through a clean fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl to remove any bits of scrambled egg; stir in the blueberry puree, vanilla, and salt.
• Refrigerate until cold, about 4hours or overnight.
• Freeze the custard in your ice cream machine according to manufacturer's directions.
• Serve at once or scoop into a freezer container; store in the freezer for up to 1 month; soften at room temperature for up to 10 minutes before serving.

FRESH BERRY PAVLOVA BY SPLENDA®

Steps:

• Meringue: Put egg whites and cream of tartar in electric mixer, and begin to whip slowly.
• Meanwhile, combine SPLENDA® Granulated sugar, water and lemon juice in a small stainless steel sauce pan. Heat until liquid reaches 175°F (88°C) on a sugar thermometer or until liquid has almost reduced and begins to look "sticky". Slowly pour SPLENDA® mixture into beating egg whites, which should be at a soft peak stage. Add cornstarch, and turn mixer to high. Continue to mix until egg whites are stiff. Do not over-mix!
• On a parchment paper lined baking tray, spread meringue or pipe, to form a bowl, about 10 inches (25 cm) in diameter.
• Bake at 225°F (109°C) for about 1 hour or until it just begins to colour. Leave oven ajar and let cool completely.
• Filling: Whip cream and SPLENDA® Granulated till stiff. Gently fold in berries/fruit.
• Topping: Combine raspberries, water and SPLENDA® Granulated in a non-reactive saucepan (such as stainless steel) and simmer gently till thick. Puree well and strain through a fine sieve to remove seeds.
• Assembly: Gently remove baked meringue, and place on serving platter. Spoon cream-fruit mixture into centre. Drizzle with raspberry puree.
• Servings: One 10 inch pavlova or 8 servings.

SPLENDA-BERRY PIE

Steps:

• Allow all your frozen berries to dethaw in a sieve placed over a bowl. As they thaw, juice should drain into the bowl- save it! You need it for the a later step. (Thawing not included in prep time).
• Preheat you oven to 375 degrees.
• Pie crusts always have 2 in a package. Unroll one and place it flat in the freezer, unroll the other and set it in your 9 inch pie plate.
• In a tiny bowl beat together the egg yolk and water with a fork. This is called egg wash, and will make your crusts pretty and will work as "pie crust glue." Brush the egg wash around the rim of the pie crust in the pie plate.
• In another small bowl, add your cornstarch, then slowly pour one cup of the drained berry juice to the cornstarch while whisking briskly. It should not be lumpy by the time you're done.
• In a medium saucepan, add Splenda, then slowly add cornstarch, whisking the whole time. Stir constantly until mixture comes to a boil. Boil one minute.
• Stir in butter and fruit from sieve.Cool slightly and pour mixture into your pie shell.
• Take your remaining pie crust out of the freezer. (It should now be firm enough to work with- but work quickly!) Cut into 1 1/2 inch wide strips. Arrange strips in a lattice design over the filling. Trim strips even with lower pie crust, fold edges over and crimp to seal.
• Brush all visible pie crust with your egg wash that you made earlier.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes or until browned. You may want to cover the edges of your pie with foil so they don't burn.
• Allow to cool on a wire rack.
