Macadamia Nut Crisps Recipes

MACADAMIA NUT CRISPS

Steps:

• Beat the butter and sugar until fluffy. Coarsely grind the nuts (I usually do this by placing in a zip bag and pounding them with a meat tenderizer). Add to the sugar mixture and mix.
• Stir in flour and blend. Spoon heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. Flatten slightly with a fork and sprinkle each with some coconut.
• Bake at 350 F for fifteen minutes, or until lightly brown around the edges. Let rest on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a rack to cool.

MANGO MACADAMIA NUT CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the diced mango and the grated ginger in a saucepan and place over medium-low heat. Cook mango slowly, stirring until it releases its juice and begins to simmer, about 5 to 7 minutes. Simmer about 3 minutes more until mango is tender and juices are bubbly. Remove mango pieces with a slotted spoon to a small bowl. Leave mango juice in pan and bring to a boil. Stirring constantly, boil the mango juice until it is reduced by 3/4 and is syrupy. Scrape syrup into bowl with mango and add brown sugar and honey. Stir gently to combine. Transfer mango to a lightly buttered 2-quart shallow bake pan (a round 9-inch cake pan works as well). Sprinkle the Oatmeal Macadamia Nut Streusel over the mango filling, covering evenly. Place baking dish on a cookie sheet (to catch any bubbling filling) and place in the oven. Bake 25-30 minutes until streusel is golden and the filling is bubbly. Cool to room temperature before serving.
• Combine flour, oatmeal and both sugars in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse to mix well. Add the butter to the bowl, replace the top and pulse the machine to incorporate the butter. Work quickly and use short pulses to make a dry, loose, fluffy mixture resembling sand. Do not allow the butter to soften or make a dough. Transfer the streusel to a small bowl and add the nuts and coconut. Toss by hand to mix well. Reserve until needed.

• Coat an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. Place apple slices in the dish; drop apricot preserves by teaspoonfuls onto apple slices. Sprinkle evenly with the flour/nut mixture. Bake at 375° for 35 minutes or until bubbly and golden.
• Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
