Kiwifruit And Cream Recipes

BEN & JERRY'S CREAMY FRESH KIWI ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Peel the kiwifruit either with a vegetable peeler or knife and mash them in a bowl until pureed.
• Stir 2 tablespoons sugar into the fruit, cover, and refrigerate 1 hour.
• Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in 1 cup sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended, about 1 minute more.
• Pour in the cream and whisk to blend.
• After 1 hour cooling in the refrigerator, stir the kiwifruit into the egg, sugar, and cream mixture.
• Transfer the mixture to an ice-cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer's instructions. Ingredient Note: Though in the United States kiwifruit has been known to be called ​kiwi, kiwifruit was, in fact, the fruit's full marketed name. Native to north-central and eastern China, kiwifruit was originally called Chinese gooseberries. But in the 1960s in an effort to market the juicy, green fruit in the west, kiwifruit farmers in New Zealand renamed their fruit to represent their country using the name kiwi , which is the name of the New Zealand national bird as well as a common nickname for New Zealanders themselves.

CREAMY KIWI SANDWICH

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together Neufchatel cheese, lemon zest, and honey. Refrigerate for 1 day to allow the flavors to develop.
• Spread about 2 tablespoons of the sweetened Neufchatel cheese over one side of a slice of bread. Top with about 2 tablespoons of chopped kiwi fruit, and another slice of bread. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 8 sandwiches in all.

KIWI-CREAM CHEESE TART

Steps:

• For crust:
• Blend flour, sugar and salt in processor. Add butter. Using on/off turns, process until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 1 tablespoon ice water and blend until moist clumps form. Add more water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Transfer dough to floured surface. Gently knead nuts into dough. Press dough onto bottom and up sides of 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Freeze crust 20 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Line crust with foil; fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake crust until sides begin to set, about 15 minutes. Remove foil and beans. Bake crust until cooked through and pale golden, piercing with fork if crust bubbles, about 10 minutes longer. Cool crust completely.
• For filling:
• Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese, sugar, lime juice and lime peel in large bowl until smooth and fluffy. Beat whipping cream in medium bowl until firm peaks form. Fold into cream cheese mixture. Spoon filling into crust; smooth top with knife. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.
• Arrange kiwis in concentric circles atop filling, overlapping slightly. (Can be prepared up to 4 hours ahead. Cover with plastic and refrigerate.) Cut tart into wedges and serve.

KIWI CREAM PIE

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl combine crushed vanilla wafers, cinnamon, and melted butter or margarine. Press into a 9 inch pie plate to form a firm, even crust. Chill the crust for 1 hour.
• In the meantime, in a small saucepan soften gelatin in cold water, then cook and stir over medium heat until gelatin is dissolved. Cool completely.
• In a large bowl, beat together yogurt, sugar, and lemon juice; stir in the cooled gelatin mixture. Chill until partially set.
• Beat the first 1/2 cup of whipping cream until soft peaks forms and then fold it into the gelatin mixture. Chill till mixture mounds when spooned. Turn into chilled crust. Cover and chill several hours or till set.
• Just before serving, arrange kiwi around the edges of the pie. Beat the second 1/2 cup of whipping cream until soft peaks form and spoon into the center of the pie; garnish with remaining kiwi slices.
