HABANERO PEPPER CREAM PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
• Melt butter with olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add shallots, garlic and habanero pepper, and cook until lightly browned. Pour cream into a saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the ingredients from the skillet, along with the tomato. Mix in the flour and black pepper, and simmer until thickened, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in Parmesan cheese, and remove from heat. Allow sauce to cool for a few minutes before serving over pasta.

HABANERO LIME CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Position top rack in the center of the oven. Place a baking pan on the rack below this. Boil water.
• Make crust: Mix the crumbs and salt together in a small bowl, then add butter and stir to mix. Set aside 1/4cup for topping. Press the rest into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan.
• Turn on kitchen or stove exhaust fan. Skewer and roast the habaneros over an open flame (gas burner is fine) and set them to steam under a towel. When they are cool enough to handle, put on plastic gloves if desired. Peel and deseed habaneros, then pound in a mortar with the 2 tablespoons of sugar until a coarse paste results.
• Cream the cream cheese, then add remaining sugar and salt. Beat in the eggs 1 at a time until incorporated. Add the cream and blend. Beat the zest and lime juice into this mixture. Add the habanero paste last and beat until well mixed. Pour into the crust, then gently tap the pan to level the filling. Sprinkle the reserved crumbs on top.
• Pour boiling water into the pan on the oven?s lower rack. Place the cheesecake on the rack above it. Bake for approximately 1 hour or until the cheesecake pulls away from the edge of the pan. Remove from the oven and allow to set for 20 minutes. Wrap and keep in the refrigerator overnight, or if rushed, place in the freezer for 2 to 3 hours.
• Garnish, if desired, with slices of lime and place a whole habanero in the center.

HABANERO CREAM CHEESE DIP/SPREAD RECIPE - (2.7/5)

Steps:

• Roast bell peppers in oven until soft Cool then seed and peel Puree roasted bell pepper with Habanero peppers Mix Cream cheese in mixer until smooth Add salt and puree to cream cheese and mix well Mix in craisens by hand Chill 30+ minutes then serve You can serve right away in a pinch but its much better if it has a chance to chill. If you think it needs to be more spicy I would hold the craisens and chill first because the flavor really come out after it sits a while. Then if you still think it needs it add some peppers, then mix in craisens.

BACON WRAPPED STUFFED HABANEROS / JALAPENOS

Steps:

• Pre-Heat oven to 325.
• Start by washing the jalapenos, cutting the stem off, and then cutting them in half lengthwise.
• Next, devein and remove the seeds. ( I leave in for extra heat)
• Now you are ready to stuff the peppers with cream cheese. Using a knife cut about a quarter of an inch slice of cream cheese, short side, and then smooth it into the pepper.
• After this step is completed, you are ready to wrap them in bacon. I usually cut about half of the pack of bacon in half and use the full strips for the larger peppers. Now just start wrapping. If wrapped from one end to the other moderately tight, no toothpicks are needed to hold the bacon on.
• This method should use just about all of the cream cheese and all of the bacon.
• Now put them in the oven and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes. Check them periodically as oven temps vary. They are ready when the bacon is firm, not crisp and the cheese is slightly brown. Enjoy!
