Shortcakes With Grilled Peaches Sweet Ricotta Cream Truffled Honey And Huckleberries Recipes

GRILLED STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE WITH SWEET CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and place a rack in the center of the oven. Line a 9x5-inch baking pan with Reynolds Wrap® Non Stick Aluminum Foil and set aside.
• Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Cream together softened butter and cream cheese in the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Stop the mixer occasionally to scrape down the bowl and make sure that the butter and cream cheese are evenly mixed. Add the sugar to the butter and cream cheese mixture, and beat on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes.
• Beat in one egg at a time, mixing for one minute after each addition. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Beat in vanilla extract.
• Add dry ingredients all at once. Beat on low speed until dry ingredients are completely incorporated. Spoon batter into prepared pan. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, rotating once or twice during baking. Bake until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs. Allow cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool to room temperature. Wrap the cooled cake and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
• Slice the chilled pound cake into 8 thick slices.
• Toss the strawberries together with the sugar in a small bowl. Allow to rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar, salt and vanilla until soft peaks form. Set aside.
• Grill the slices of pound cake over a warm, greased grill until golden brown grill marks appear on both sides of cake, flipping once.
• Warm the strawberries on the grill by spooning strawberries among 8 Jumbo Reynolds® Aluminum Foil Baking Cups and warming alongside the pound cake.
• Serve warm pound cake slices with warmed strawberries and sweet cream.

GRILLED PEACHES AND RICOTTA

Steps:

• 1. Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to medium-high, or place a ridged grill pan over medium-high heat.
• 2. Spread the butter over each of the peach halves.
• 3. Grill the peaches, flat sides down, until warmed through, about 4 minutes.
• 4. Meanwhile, bring 1/2 cup water to a boil. Pour in the sugar and honey and stir until all the sugar has dissolved.
• 5. Serve the peach halves with generous spoonfuls of the ricotta in the centers, and drizzled with the sugar syrup.

GRILLED PEACH SHORTCAKES

Steps:

• For the shortcakes: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, stir the flour, brown sugar, baking powder and fine salt to combine. Add the butter and toss, separating the cubes and making sure each is fully coated with flour. Use your hands or a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
• Make a well in the center of the bowl and add the buttermilk, egg and vanilla if using. Use a fork or small whisk to gently mix the ingredients together inside the well (focusing on breaking up the egg), then use your hands or a spatula to mix the dough until it is evenly combined.
• Scoop heaping 1/4 cup-size mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, staggering the biscuits to give them at least 1 1/2 inches all around. Brush the surface of each with cream and top with turbinado sugar.
• Transfer to the oven and bake until golden brown, 22 to 25 minutes. Cool completely.
• For filling and finishing: When ready to serve, heat a grill or grill pan until it's smoking hot. Clean and lightly oil the grill grates. Working in batches, place the peaches cut side down on the grill and cook until they have dark char marks, 2 to 3 minutes per peach. Remove the peaches from the grill and transfer to a plate. Drizzle each peach half with 1 teaspoon of the honey while it's still hot and sprinkle with flaky salt. Cut 4 of the peach halves up into thin slices.
• In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, whip the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla to medium peaks.
• To serve, tear or cut each shortcake in half horizontally and place on a plate. Spoon a generous spoonful of whipped cream on top, and then top with a peach half. Once plated, divide the sliced peaches among the shortcakes and serve immediately.
