Maple Brown Butter Semifreddo Recipes

MAPLE-BROWN-BUTTER SEMIFREDDO

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat cream on high until stiff peaks form, 2 minutes; refrigerate. In a small saucepan, heat butter over medium, swirling pan occasionally, until golden brown and most of the foam has subsided, 8 to 10 minutes. Immediately pour into a small bowl. In clean saucepan, bring maple syrup to a boil over medium-high and cook 2 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat egg yolks on high until pale yellow, 1 to 2 minutes. With mixer running, add hot maple syrup in a slow, steady stream, then add brown butter. Beat on high until mixture has cooled to room temperature, about 5 minutes. With a rubber spatula, gently fold in whipped cream. Transfer mixture to a 5-by-10-inch loaf pan and cover with plastic wrap. Freeze until firm, 5 hours (or up to 1 week). Serve topped with hazelnuts, if desired.

CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER SEMIFREDDO WITH CARAMEL CORN

Steps:

• Caramel Corn: Preheat oven to 225 degrees. In a large heatproof bowl, sprinkle peanuts over popcorn.
• In a saucepan, bring brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, and salt to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring, until smooth and combined. Cook until darkened slightly and fragrant, about 3 minutes more. Remove from heat; immediately stir in baking soda and vanilla. Pour over popcorn mixture, stirring to evenly coat. Transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet.
• Bake 1 hour. Let cool completely. Break into bite-size pieces and serve, or store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days. (Makes 10 cups.)
• Semifreddo: Line the bottom and sides of a standard 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving a 2-inch overhang on long sides. In a large heatproof bowl, combine chocolate, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. In another large heatproof bowl, combine peanut butter and remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and 1/4 teaspoon salt. In a saucepan, bring cream to a boil. Remove from heat; immediately divide cream evenly between bowls. Let stand 5 minutes, then stir each mixture until smooth. Let cool until thickened slightly, about 15 minutes.
• Combine egg whites and sugar in the heatproof bowl of an electric mixer set over (not in) a pot of simmering water. Beat constantly until sugar dissolves and mixture is warm to the touch (it should feel smooth when rubbed between fingers), 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, then transfer to mixer fitted with the whisk attachment; beat on low speed until foamy. Increase speed to high; continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form and bowl no longer feels warm to the touch, 7 to 9 minutes.
• Divide meringue evenly between chocolate and peanut-butter mixtures; gently fold into each until thoroughly combined and no white streaks remain. Transfer half of chocolate mixture to prepared loaf pan; smooth top with an offset spatula. (Refrigerate peanut-butter mixture and remaining chocolate mixture until ready to use.) Freeze until thickened slightly, about 15 minutes. Pour peanut-butter mixture into pan, smoothing top; freeze 15 minutes. Pour remaining chocolate mixture over peanut-butter mixture and smooth top. Gently fold plastic-wrap overhangs over semifreddo to cover. Freeze until firm, at least 12 hours and up to 3 days.
• Remove semifreddo from freezer 10 minutes before serving. Remove plastic from top, flip pan onto a chilled serving platter or cutting board, and lift pan from plastic. Remove plastic and slice semifreddo crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Serve, with caramel corn. Semifreddo can be stored, covered, in freezer up to 3 days.

PEANUT BUTTER SEMIFREDDO

Steps:

• Line an 8x4-inch (2 L) loaf pan with a large piece of plastic wrap, making sure it generously hangs over the sides. Warm 3 tbsp (45 mL) whipping cream with peanut butter and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile in a large bowl, beat egg whites with salt until frothy. Gradually add granulated sugar, increasing speed to medium-high. Beat until whites hold stiff peaks. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl, beat remaining whipping cream with vanilla until soft peaks form. Fold cooled peanut butter mixture into egg whites, then fold in whipping cream. Scrape into loaf pan, smoothing surface. Cover surface with overhanging plastic wrap, then cover with foil. Freeze overnight.
• Just before serving, unmold onto a cutting board and discard plastic wrap. For each serving, cut a 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick slice, then slice diagonally into 2 triangles. To serve, stand one triangle upright against the other. Sprinkle with toasted peanuts. Excellent with a tropical fruit salad, such as mango, pineapple and papaya. Rewrap and freeze any leftovers for up to a month.

BROWN BUTTER MAPLE BLONDIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the blondies: Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C).
• Spread the white chocolate in a single layer in a large glass baking dish. Bake, stirring with a rubber spatula every 10 minutes, until the chocolate is caramelized, 30-40 minutes total. Remove the chocolate from the oven and let sit while you make the brown butter.
• Increase the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9 x 13 x 2-inch baking pan with 2 sheets of aluminum foil, leaving a bit of overhang around all of the edges. Grease the foil lightly with nonstick spray.
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently with a heat-safe rubber spatula. As the water begins to boil out of the butter, the milk solids in the butter will separate, sink to the bottom of the pot, and begin to toast. Stir constantly until the butter turns nutty brown, about 10 minutes total. Turn off the heat, add the caramelized chocolate, and stir to melt and combine with the browned butter. Let cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
• In a large glass bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, maple syrup, malted milk powder, kosher salt, eggs, vanilla, and maple extract until smooth and homogenous. Slowly stream in the white chocolate mixture and continue whisking until combined. Sift in the flour and stir with a rubber spatula to bring the batter together.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
• Bake the blondies until golden brown and set, 35-40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 1 hour.
• Make the maple caramel: In a small, heavy-bottomed pot fitted with a candy thermometer, heat the maple syrup over medium heat until the temperature reaches 225°F (107°C). Remove the pot from the heat and add the butter. Swirl the pan until the butter melts completely, then slowly pour in the heavy cream and sprinkle in the flaky sea salt. Use a heat-safe spatula to stir until just combined. Let the caramel cool until thickened slightly, about 15 minutes.
• Make the ganache: Fill a small pot with 1 inch of water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the white chocolate to a medium glass bowl and set over the boiling water, making sure the water is not touching the bottom of the bowl. Pour in the heavy cream and stir with a small rubber spatula until completely melted and smooth, about 5 minutes.
• Lift the blondies from the pan, remove and discard the foil, and place the blondies on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Pour the ganache over the blondies and use an offset spatula to cover completely. Sprinkle the flaky sea salt on top, then use a spoon to drizzle the caramel over the ganache to create a marbled effect.
• Slice into 12 pieces.
• Enjoy!
