FIGGY PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 11-cup Bundt pan.
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Continue cooking until the butter turns golden brown, then transfer to a heatproof container and refrigerate until solid, about 1 hour.
• In a medium bowl, pour the boiling water and brandy over the figs and soak until softened, about 30 minutes. Coarsely chop 1/2 cup of the figs, and set aside. Place the remaining figs and the soaking liquid in the bowl of a food processor and puree until smooth.
• In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the chilled brown butter with the sugar and beat until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, and mix until combined. Add the fig puree, flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt, and beat on low speed until smooth. Stir in the chopped figs. Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, then cover tightly with foil and secure with a rubber band.
• Place the Bunt pan in a 12-by-17-inch deep roasting pan and set on the bottom rack of the oven. Pour 2 inches of boiling water around Bundt pan, then cover entire roasting pan with foil. Bake until the pudding is firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
• Cool the pudding for 10 minutes, then invert the Bundt pan over a plate to unmold the pudding. Sprinkle the pudding with confectioners' sugar and cut into slices to serve.

• Fry in butter until crisp.

FRESH FRUIT AND YOGURT ICE POPS

• Place the mixed blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, sliced bananas, yogurt, and sugar into a blender. Cover, and blend until fruit is chunky or smooth, as desired.
• Fill paper cups 3/4 full with fruit mixture. Cover the top of each cup with a strip of aluminum foil. Poke a popsicle stick through the center of the foil on each cup.
• Place the cups in the freezer for at least 5 hours. To serve, remove foil and peel off the paper cup.

SOPAIPILLAS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, vegetable oil, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk and warm water and stir with a rubber spatula until a sticky dough forms.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes, until no longer sticky.
• Place the dough on a plate or baking sheet and cover with a damp cloth. Let rest for 15 minutes.
• Divide the dough into 3 equal balls, cover again with damp cloth, and let rest for 30-60 minutes.
• Make the chocolate dipping sauce: Add the dark and milk chocolate and coconut oil to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted. Stir in the ancho chile powder and cinnamon. Whisk in the warm cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, until a thin dipping sauce consistency is reached. Stir in the vanilla. Set aside.
• Fill a Dutch oven or large pot fitted with a deep fry thermometer with about 3 inches (7 cm) of vegetable oil. Heat the oil until it reaches 400°F (200°C).
• While the oil is heating, shape the sopaipillas: On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 of the 3 dough balls to a 8-inch (20 cm) square. Cut into 4 4-inch (10 cm) squares, discarding any extra trimmed dough. Place the squares on a baking sheet and cover with a damp towel. Repeat with the remaining dough.
• Line a baking sheet with paper towels and set near the pot of oil.
• Gently transfer one square of dough into the hot oil as a tester--it should float to the surface within a few seconds. As soon as the dough floats, flip it over immediately. Keep turning the dough every 5 seconds or so, until it puffs up like a pillow and turns light golden brown, about 1 minute. Remove from the oil and drain on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough squares, frying 2-4 at a time, or however many will fit without crowding the pot.
• Drizzle half of the sopaipillas with the honey and dust with the powdered sugar. Serve the other half with chocolate dipping sauce. Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!
