Toasted Almond Sherbet With Almond Spikes Recipes

TOASTED ALMOND

Steps:

• Add liqueurs to a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a 10-ounce rocks glass over ice. Top with heavy cream and serve with a short straw.

SWEET AND SPICY ALMONDS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread the almonds onto a baking sheet, and toast until the nuts start to turn golden brown and become fragrant, about 10 minutes. Watch the nuts carefully as they bake: they burn quickly.
• Stir together the sugar, salt, and cayenne pepper in a mixing bowl; set aside.
• Stir together the water, honey, and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the mixture begins to bubble, stir in the toasted almonds until evenly moistened. Pour the almonds into the sugar and spice mixture, and toss until evenly coated. Spread onto baking sheets in a single layer, and cool to room temperature.

ALMOND SHERBET

Steps:

• Whisk the sweetened condensed milk and water together in a bowl, and stir in the sugar and almond extract until the drink is smooth and the sugar has dissolved. Mix in a drop or two of green food coloring, or as desired; chill to serve.

TOASTED ALMOND ESPRESSO BLONDIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray, line it with parchment paper then spray the parchment. Set aside.
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Immediately pour into a medium heatproof bowl. Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, espresso powder, salt and baking powder. Whisk to combine.
• Add the vanilla, whole egg and egg yolk to the bowl and whisk until smooth. Add the flour and stir with a rubber spatula until nearly combined.
• Reserve about 1/4 cup total of the almonds, chocolate chips and white chocolate chips for topping the blondies. Add the rest of the almonds and chips to the bowl. Stir the batter until evenly combined and then spread into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the reserved almonds and chips over the top then press into the top of the batter.
• Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, 32 to 34 minutes. Let cool in the pan then cut into 16 squares.
