Mini Cherry Cheesecake Cups

These Mini Cherry Cheesecake Cups by Jessica Kostka - Cookinginmygenes are a festive dessert and pop of colour for your holiday table! With a gingersnap crust and creamy cheesecake center, top with Cherry Pie filling and garnish with a sugared rosemary sprig for the perfect holiday treat.
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Resting Time 30 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 5 minutes
Difficulty Level Intermediate
Servings 12

Ingredients
  

Base

  • 12 oz. (340 g.) Gingersnap cookies, finely crushed (about 2 ¾ cups finely crushed)
  • ½ c. unsalted butter, melted
  • c. sugar
  • ½ tsp. salt

Filling:

  • 2 packages (250 g.) plain cream cheese, room temperature
  • ¼ c. plain Greek yogurt
  • c. sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp. fresh orange zest
  • Pinch salt

Topping:

  • 270 ml. E.D.SMITH® Cherry Pie Filling
  • Sugared Rosemary: 1-2 rosemary sprigs, sugar, water

Directions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350F and line a standard 12-count muffin pan with cupcake liners.

Make the crust:

  • Use a food processor or high powered blender to pulse the Gingersnap cookies into fine cookie crumbs. In a bowl stir together finely ground gingersnap cookie crumbs, melted butter, sugar and salt until well combined. Divide the cookie crumb mixture evenly between muffin cups, about 3 tablespoonfuls of cookie crumb mixture per muffin cup. Press the crumbs into the bottom of each cup and up the sides. Bake in the oven for 14-16 minutes or until set. Place the pan on a cooling rack and use a spoon or small spatula to press the crusts gently back into their shape if they’ve puffed up slightly. Let the crusts cool completely.

Make the filling:

  • Once the crusts are cooled completely, make the filling, Use a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, whip together the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, sugar, vanilla extract, orange zest and pinch of salt. Beat on medium-high speed until smooth, about 3-4 minutes.

Make the sugared rosemary:

  • Cut 12 small sprigs of rosemary (about 1 inch pieces) from a large piece of rosemary. Sprinkle sugar in a small bowl. Dip or rinse the small rosemary pieces in water and then roll in the sugar. Set aside to dry.

Assemble the cheesecakes:

  • Once the crusts are fully cooled, carefully remove them from the cupcake pan and then from the cupcake liners. Place the cups on a plate or tray and fill with the cream cheese filling, using a piping bag with a star tip if desired for a whimsical presentation. Otherwise, use a regular tip on a piping bag or simply spoon the filling into the cups, about 3 tablespoonfuls into each crust. Top each with a dollop of E.D.SMITH® Cherry Pie Filling and garnish with a small sprig of sugared rosemary.
  • Store mini cheesecake cups in the fridge in a covered container for up to 2 days. Take out of the fridge 15-20 minutes before enjoying.

Tips

  • Make sure to grind the gingersnap cookies into a fine crumb; this will ensure the crust of the cheesecake cups stay together after they are baked.

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Total Time 17 minutes
Difficulty Level Easy
Servings 32

Ingredients
  

  • 1 c. vegan butter softened
  • 1 c. granulated sugar
  • 2 flax eggs, 2 tbsp. flax seeds + 6 tbsp. warm water
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 3 1/2 c. all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling dough + sprinkling on the counter – using scoop and level method
  • E.D.SMITH® Blueberry Pie Filling, 1/2 tsp. to fill each cookie

Directions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF.
  • Line a large baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, create your flax eggs by adding 2 tbsp of flax seeds and 6 tbsp of warm water. Let it set for 5 minutes.

  • Add in flax eggs and vanilla extract, and mix for another 30 seconds until creamy.
  • Add baking powder, baking soda, and salt and mix well.
  • Mix in the flour a bit at a time. When it becomes difficult to mix, use a spatula to form into a ball of dough.
  • The dough should be sticky but still be able to form a ball. Once your dough has this consistency, place on a floured countertop (sprinkle work surface with flour). Add in more flour, and mix with your hands until dough is not very sticky, and can form into a ball.
  • Transfer dough back to your bowl, then use a cookie scooper to scoop the dough (about 1.5 - 2 tbsp). Roll into your hands, then place on a parchment-lined baking tray.
  • Use either a small measuring spoon, the back of a spatula or your thumb to create an indentation in your cookie.
  • Add 1/2 tsp E.D.SMITH® blueberry pie filling into each cookie.
  • Bake for 12-13 minutes, then let cool for 10-20 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Prep Time 5 minutes

Difficulty Level Easy

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 Chai tea bags
  • 3 tbsp. E.D.SMITH® Pure Pumpkin
  • 1-2 tbsp. Maple Syrup
  • 1/4 tsp. Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 shot of espresso
  • A pinch of salt

Directions
 

  • In a medium saucepan, warm the milk over medium-low heat until it simmers, but do not let it boil. Remove from heat, add 2 chai tea bags, cover, and let steep for 5 minutes.
  • Remove the tea bags, pressing them against a spoon or the side of the saucepan to extract the infused milk and spices.
  • Add E.D.SMITH® Pure Pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt to the milk mixture. Return it to the burner and heat on medium-low until the mixture is simmering, being careful not to let it boil.
  • While the mixture is warming, prepare a shot of espresso. Add the espresso to your mug of choice and pour the warmed milk mixture over it.
  • Top with frothed milk and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice.

Tips

  • This recipe uses unsweetened canned pumpkin puree, which should not be confused with pumpkin pie filling. While this recipe calls for a shot of espresso, you can substitute it with a shot of strong brewed coffee. If you prefer, you can use dirty chai tea bags and omit the espresso or coffee altogether.

Ingredients
  

Gingersnap Crust

  • 10 oz. (293g.) Gingersnap Cookies
  • 1/4 cup (50g.) White Sugar
  • 6 tbsp (85g.) unsalted butter, melted

Pumpkin Cheesecake

  • 32 oz. (1000g.) Cream Cheese, well softened at room temperature (4 blocks of cream cheese)
  • 1 ½ cups (300g.) White Sugar
  • 1 tbsp. Vanilla
  • 2 tsp. Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. Allspice
  • 1/2 tsp. Ground Ginger
  • 1/4 tsp. Nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp. Kosher Salt
  • 1 tbsp. Cornstarch
  • 3 Large Eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 Large Egg Yolks, at room temperature
  • 1 ¼ cup (300g.) E.D.SMITH® Pure Pumpkin
  • 1/2 cup (118g.) Heavy Cream
  • 1/4 cup (180g.) Sour Cream

Salted Caramel

  • 1 cup (200g.) White Sugar
  • 1/4 cup (60g.) Water
  • 6 tbsp. (85g.) Unsalted Butter, at room temperature and cubed
  • 1/2 cup (118g.) Heavy Cream
  • 1 tsp. Vanilla
  • 1 tsp. Kosher Salt

For Serving

  • Whipped Cream, for serving

Directions
 

Gingersnap Crust

  • Place the cookies and sugar into a food processor and grind until fine crumbs form. Pour in the melted butter, then pulse until combined and resembling wet sand.
  • Pour the crust crumbs into a 9” springform pan, then use a flat bottom measuring cup to press and compact the crust down. Place the crust into the oven to bake for 11 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool to room temperature.

Pumpkin Cheesecake

  • Turn the oven down to 325°F. Prepare the cooled springform pan (with the crust) by wrapping the bottom of the pan with 2 sheets of tinfoil, then set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, or stand mixer, add the soft cream cheese and beat on low until it looks soft and creamy – about 2 minutes. Add the sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, nutmeg salt, and cornstarch, then beat on low until very creamy – 3-4 minutes. While still beating on low, add the eggs and yolks, one at a time, ensuring that each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next, ensuring that you are also scraping at the bowl as necessary.
  • Add the E.D.SMITH® Pure Pumpkin, heavy cream and sour cream, then beat on low until the cheesecake filling looks creamy, smooth, and uniform.
  • Pour the filling over top of the cooled crust in the springform pan, then place the cheesecake into a large roasting pan. Pour enough boiling water into the roasting pan so that it reaches about halfway up the outside of the springform pan. Place into the oven to bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes. When the cheesecake is done it should still be a little jiggly in the centre – it is best to start checking for doneness at 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • When done, crack the oven open to allow the cheesecake to slowly cool for about an hour and a half. After an hour and a half, remove the cheesecake from the oven and water-bath and place onto the counter to cool to room temperature. Once at room temperature, wrap with plastic wrap and place into the fridge for at least 8 hours or preferably overnight.

Salted Caramel

  • In a large saucepan over medium heat add sugar and water. Stir occasionally only until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture begins to boil.
  • Once the mixture begins to boil turn the heat up to medium-high and allow the mixture to boil, ensuring not to stir it, until it turns a golden dark brown in color (stirring the mixture will cause crystallization, so refrain from stirring).
  • Once the mixture has become brown in color (360°F on a candy thermometer), add the cubed butter and mix very vigorously to combine. (Be careful, however, because the mixture will bubble and rise up rapidly when you add the butter). If the butter seems to be separating from the caramel, remove it from the heat, then whisk vigorously until it comes together.
  • Next, carefully pour in the heavy cream (it will bubble rapidly again), vanilla, and salt. Whisk until smooth and well-combined. Remove the caramel from the heat, allow to cool for 15 minutes, then cover tightly, and allow to cool to room temperature before using.
  • When ready to serve, top cold cheesecake with cooled salted caramel and whipped cream.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes
Total Time 55 minutes
Difficulty Level Easy
Servings 12

Ingredients
  

For the oatmeal crust and topping:

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 cups old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 8 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted (1 stick butter)
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 can E.D.SMITH® blueberry pie filling (540ml)

For the lemon Icing:

  • 1 tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup icing sugar

Directions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a square 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper and then grease the pan well with butter or cooking spray of choice.
  • In a medium mixing bowl whisk together flour, oats, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Stir in melted butter and vanilla extract and use a fork to mix until fully combined and the dough comes together - creating a crumbly mixture.
  • Save 1 ¼ cup of the crumble crust mixture and set aside. Pour the rest of the mixture into the baking pan and press into an even, flat base layer with your hands.
  • Pour the blueberry pie filling onto the crumble crust base layer in the pan and spread into an even layer.
  • Finally, sprinkle the reserved 1 ¼ cup oat crumble crust mixture over the blueberry pie filling in an even layer.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes until the crumble crust topping is set and the blueberry pie filling might be bubbling around the edges.
  • Remove from the oven and let it completely cool in the pan or they will fall apart if not completely cooled before cutting. You can also place them in the fridge to help cool faster.
  • Once fully cooled, make the lemon icing and drizzle over top of the bars. Use a sharp knife to cut into 9 -12 bars before serving.
  • These will keep in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Tips

  • Make these ahead of time! Bake these 1 day ahead of your gathering and store in the fridge after icing. Remove from the fridge, let sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes and cut into squares before serving.
  • If preferred, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream instead of the lemon icing

Prep Time 25 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes
Resting Time 3 hours
Total Time 4 hours 10 minutes
Difficulty Level Easy
Servings 6

Ingredients
  

Pie Crust

  • 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold, cubed
  • 1/4 cup ice water
  • 2 cans E.D.SMITH® raspberry pie filling

Crumble Topping

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, cold
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp. salt

Directions
 

  • Make the pie crust. In the bowl of a food processor, pulse together the flour and salt. Add in the cubed, cold butter and pulse until the butter is incorporated. Slowly pour in the ice water, pulsing in between, until all the water is used up and a pie dough is formed.
  • Pat the dough into a round disc, wrap it in plastic wrap and store it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes and up to 3 days. After 30 minutes, remove the dough, on roll it out on a floured surface, into a 10-12” circle.
  • Place the rolled-out dough into the center of a 9” pie dish, then trim the edges of the dough and crimp the edges. Prick the bottom of the pie crust with a fork.
  • Open 2 cans of E.D.SMITH® raspberry pie filling, and empty them both into the prepared pie crust, smoothing out the top with the back of a spoon.
  • Make the crumble topping. Grate the cold butter into a large bowl, then add both the sugars and the flour, and salt. Use a pastry cutter or a fork to mix up the crumble until it resembles a pea-like structure.
  • Top the pie with the crumble topping, then bake the pie in an oven preheated to 350 F for 45 minutes or until the topping is lightly browned. Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature, for about 1 hour. Serve the pie as is or place it in the fridge for a few hours to firm up the filling before serving.

Prep Time 45 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Resting Time 10 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 20 minutes
Difficulty Level Easy
Servings 24

Ingredients
  

  • 2 boxes store-bought double pie crust, 4 pie doughs in total, thawed to room temp
  • 1 can E.D.SMITH® Apple Pie Filling
  • 1 can E.D.SMITH® Cherry Pie Filling
  • 1 can E.D.SMITH® Blueberry Pie Filling
  • 1 egg large
  • 1 tbsp. sugar or coarse sugar, optional
  • 1 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 3 tbsp. Heavy Cream
  • 1 tsp. Pure Vanilla Extract

Directions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • On a lightly floured surface unroll pie dough. Using a 3” cookie cutter, cut out 12 bottoms (dough scraps will need to be rerolled to get 12). Repeat process with second pie dough so that you have 24 bottoms in total. Place each bottom on prepared baking sheets (12 on each).
  • Place 1 Tbsp of preferred filling flavor on each bottom (if using apple, empty filling onto a cutting board and chop into smaller pieces). Set aside.
  • On a lightly floured surface, unroll the 3rd pie dough. Using a pizza wheel cutter, cut out thin strips for the lattice. In a small bowl, beat egg to make egg wash; using your finger, put egg wash around the outer edge of each bottom. Lay 3 strips across each cookie filling, using your finger put egg wash on each strip. Then lay 3 more strips on top, in a perpendicular direction. Using a 3” cookie cutter, press down on the cookie bottom and remove excess pieces. Excess dough can be rerolled and cut to make more lattice strips.
  • On a lightly floured surface, unroll the 4th and final pie dough, and using a 3” cookie cutter, cut out enough tops to cover the remaining bottoms. Dough scraps will need to be rerolled to get enough tops. With a small sharp knife make an “X” shaped slit in each top. Place them on top of the remaining outer-edge-egg-washed bottoms, and using a fork, crimp around the edge to seal the filling in.
  • Brush egg wash over each pie cookie, and sprinkle with sugar (optional). Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. When done, remove pie cookies from baking sheet and allow to cool on a rack.
  • While pie cookies are baking, whisk together powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. If too thick, add more cream; if too thin, add more powdered sugar. Put icing in a piping bag with “Wilton Tip 7” piping tip, and pipe icing onto each pie cookie. Enjoy!

Tips

  • Any leftover pie filling can be scooped into ziplock bags and frozen until ready to use next time. It freezes very well!
  • Store pie cookies in airtight container in fridge for up to 7 days.

Difficulty Level Intermediate
Servings 8

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz. (250 g.) Brick Cream Cheese Softened
  • 2 tbsp. Icing sugar
  • 1/4 cup (160 g.) E.D.SMITH® Raspberry Pie Filling, plus 5-8 tbsp for layering the casserole
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 cups (472 ml.) Whole Milk
  • 1 tbsp. Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tsp. Cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp. sea salt
  • 10 medium sized day old croissants, torn or cut into sections

  • 5 tbsp. (75 g.) Cold Butter cut into thin slices
  • Fresh raspberries and icing sugar for garnish
  • Whipped cream and syrup for serving

Directions
 

  • Grease a 9x13 casserole dish and set aside.
  • In a large bowl using a hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine room temperature cream cheese and icing sugar until smooth and no lumps remain. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
  • In a small bowl add 3/4 cup (170 g.) of the sweetened cream cheese mixture, reserving the rest. Add 1/4 cup (80 g.) of E.D.SMITH® Raspberry Pie Filling and mix until smooth. Set aside.
  • In a separate large bowl add the eggs, milk, salt, vanilla and cinnamon and whisk to combine until eggs are well incorporated. Dip half the cut-up croissants in this custard mixture and make sure they are all fully coated. Remove the pieces and place them along the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  • Dollop the raspberry cream cheese mixture and the remaining sweetened cream cheese onto the first layer of croissants. Add a few additional spoonfuls of raspberry pie filling to the bottom layer of croissants and sprinkle with half of the cinnamon sugar.
  • Submerge the remaining croissant pieces into the custard mixture until fully coated and arrange them over the first layer of croissants. Spoon any remaining custard from the bottom of the bowl over the top of the croissants.
  • Add a few more spoonfuls of raspberry pie filling onto the croissants and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon sugar.
  • Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and remove the dish from the fridge. After removing the plastic wrap, place the thinly sliced butter evenly over the surface of the croissants.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes or until the french toast is golden brown and crisp. Check the french toast mid bake and if you find the croissants are browning too quickly, loosely place foil over the french toast for the remainder of the bake time.
  • Allow the french toast to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.
  • Dust with icing sugar, whipped cream and fresh raspberries. To serve, slice the french toast into wedges, drizzle with maple syrup and enjoy!

Cherry, Almond and Rose Frangipane Turnovers

These tart and sweet Cherry Pie turnovers by Zahra Kasmani – Threecupsofchai, are the perfect impressive, yet easy, treat to bake. E.D.SMITH® Cherry Pie Filling is paired with frangipane scented with a touch of rose water, wrapped in flakey puff pastry and topped with crunchy turbinado sugar for the ultimate turnover delight!
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Resting Time 10 minutes
Total Time 55 minutes
Difficulty Level Easy
Servings 8

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can  E.D.SMITH® Cherry Pie Filling

Frangipane

  • 1/3 cup (75 g.) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup (75 g.) icing sugar
  • 1/2 cup (75 g.) almond flour
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp. rose water
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp. (8 g.) all-purpose flour or cornstarch
  • Puff Pastry
  • 1 egg plus 1 tbsp. water, whisked together for egg wash
  • 3 tbsp. Turbaned Sugar

Directions
 

  • Preheat an oven on the Bake setting, to 350F.
  • In a medium sized bowl, add the unsalted butter and icing sugar mixing well to combine ensuring there are no lumps. Add in the almond flour, mix to combine. Add in the vanilla extract, rose water and egg. Mix well until the wet and dry ingredients are incorporated well.
  • Add in the all-purpose flour or cornstarch, mix to combine. Set aside
  • Unroll and cut puff pastry sheets into rectangles, or desired shape. Each turnover will require two rectangles, one as the base and one over top. Place the base of each turnover onto a large parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Brush a one cm thick border around the edges of each of the base pastries. Spread about one and a quarter tablespoon of frangipane over each base pastry, staying within the border. Spread over a spoonful of E.D.SMITH® Cherry pie Filling, about four to five cherries per turnover.
  • Cut three slits into the top half pastry sheet of each turnover which will allow for venting, as well as look beautiful in presentation. Place the top half pastry over each base pastry and use a fork to crimp the edges.
  • Brush each turnover with egg wash, sprinkle generously with turbinado sugar.
  • Bake on the middle rack until golden and crispy. Let cool before enjoying.

Tips

  • This recipe uses Cherry Pie Filling, try it with Strawberry or Blueberry Pie Filling for fun variations
  • For best results, keep puff pastry refrigerated until ready to use. Room temperature puff pastry will lose its shape when handled, and puff pastry that is not well-defrosted will crack when rolled open.
  • Once the oven has reached the desired temperature, allow it to preheat for thirty minutes before baking the turnovers

This pumpkin mousse by Ashleigh Scott is creamy, delicious and comes together in no time. It’s the perfect way to finish off your holiday meal and is sure to become an instant family favourite.
Prep Time 15 minutes
Chilling Time 1 hour
Total Time 1 hour 15 minutes
Difficulty Level Intermediate
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

Pumpkin Mousse

  • 4 oz. (113 g.) Room temp Brick Cream Cheese
  • 2 tbsp. Icing sugar
  • 1 cup (250 g.) E.D.SMITH Pure Pumpkin
  • 1.5 tsp. Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 1/4 cup (56 g.) Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix
  • 1 tsp. Pure Vanilla Extract
  • ½ cup (118 ml) Whole Milk
  • 1 cup (237 ml) Cold Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 2 tbsp. Icing sugar
  • ¾ cup (170 g.) Prepared Whipped Cream
  • 12 Crushed Biscoff Cookies or Ginger Cookies
  • Whipped cream for topping

Directions
 

  • In a large bowl using a hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine room temperature cream cheese and icing sugar until smooth and no lumps remain. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
  • Add  E.D.SMITH® Pure Pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla pudding mix and vanilla to the bowl with the cream cheese mixture. Mix on medium high speed until well combined.
  • Pour in cold milk and slowly combine using the mixer on low speed. Set aside.
  • For the whipped cream, using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip cold heavy cream and icing sugar on medium high speed until stiff peaks form in the whipped cream. If you accidentally over whip the cream add a little more heavy cream and gently fold together with a spatula.
  • Add ¾ cup of the prepared whipped cream to the bowl of pumpkin mixture and gently fold together using a spatula until no streaks of white remain being careful not to knock too much air out of the whipped cream. Set aside. Cover remaining whipped cream with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to assemble dessert.
  • Add cookies to a ziploc bag and seal then use a rolling pin to crush cookies.
  • To prepare the mousse, transfer mousse to a piping bag or simply spoon a layer of mousse into the bottom of your dessert cup, add a layer of crushed cookies and follow with a final layer of mousse. Transfer prepared mousse to the fridge to chill for 1-4 hours.
  • When you are ready to serve, top with a dollop of the remaining whipped cream and more crushed cookies. If the whipped cream has deflated, re-whip it to the desired consistency.

Tips

  • This recipe uses E.D.SMITH® canned pumpkin puree that is unsweetened, not to be confused with pumpkin pie filling. This mousse once layered with the cookies is best enjoyed the day it is prepared but it will keep in the fridge for 2 days. However the cookie crumbs will soften significantly so don’t add the whipped cream and cookie crumbs on top until you are ready to serve. Alternatively you can prepare the mousse and leave it in the bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days, at that time prepare the dessert cups as mentioned above. The prepared whipped cream for topping is best used the day it is prepared.

Ingredients
  

Pumpkin Swirl Loaf

  • 1 2/3 cups (210g) spooned and leveled All-Purpose flour
  • 1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 1/4 tsp cardamom (optional)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup (250g) EDSMITH® Pure Pumpkin
  • 2 eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 cup (250g) packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100mL) Vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp (140 F) Hot coffee

Maple Glaze

  • 1 cup (110g) sifted icing sugar
  • 2 tsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp milk

Directions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 C) Spray a 9x5 inch metal loaf pan with baking spray and line with parchment paper by cutting a long 9” strip of paper, press it along the bottom of the pan and allow the paper to overhang the long sides of the pan. Then set aside.
  • In a medium sized bowl, combine the flour, pumpkin pie spice, cardamom, baking soda, baking powder and salt, whisk to combine. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl combine pumpkin puree, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla and whisk until smooth. Add eggs and whisk until just combined.
  • Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir gently to combine. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl combine sifted cocoa powder and hot coffee (heated to around 140F) whisk until smooth. Add 1/2 cup of your pumpkin batter to the cocoa/coffee mixture and combine until smooth, don’t over mix.
  • Pour half of the pumpkin batter into the bottom of the prepared loaf tin. Add a layer of your chocolate mixture on top, reserving a few tbsp. Add the rest of the pumpkin batter and top with dollops of the remaining chocolate batter. Using a knife or long wooden skewer, swirl the chocolate into the batter in a figure 8. Be careful not to swirl too much or you will lose the definition in the swirl.
  • Bake the swirl loaf for 45-55 mins or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Allow the cake to cool on a wire rack for 15 mins then use the parchment paper overhang to lift the loaf out of the tin and allow to cool completely on a wire rack before you glaze the loaf.
  • When your loaf is cool, add the sifted icing sugar to a medium size bowl. Add 2 tsp of maple syrup and 1 tbsp of milk and whisk to combine. The glaze should be thick but pourable so add a little more milk to thin the glaze if necessary or add a bit more icing sugar if you want it thicker.
  • Using a whisk or spoon, drizzle the glaze over the load. Slice and serve.

Tips

  • This recipe uses E.D.SMITH® canned pumpkin puree that is unsweetened, not to be confused with pumpkin pie filling. When mixing your batter, try not to over mix, this creates a more tender crumb. This cake is best enjoyed the day it is made but it can be frozen, just omit the glaze if freezing and add it once the cake is thawed and ready to serve. Cake will keep for 2-3 days in an airtight container at room temp.

Difficulty Level Intermediate
Servings 12

Ingredients
  

Brown Butter

  • 1 cup (228g) Unsalted Butter, at room temperature

Tangzhong

  • 1/4 cup + 2 tsp (70g) Water
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tsp (70g) Milk
  • 3 tbsp (25g) All Purpose Flour

Dough

  • 4 cups + 2 tbsp (495g) All Purpose Flour
  • 3 tbsp (38g) White Sugar
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tbsp Instant Yeast
  • 3/4 cup (180g) Whole Milk
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1/2 Brown Butter, lightly warm and melted

Filling

  • 1/2 cup (110g) Light Brown Sugar
  • 2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 3/4 tsp Allspice
  • 3/4 cup (200g) E.D.Smith Apple Pie Filling, chopped into smaller chunks
  • 1 ½ tsp Cornstarch
  • 1/2 Brown Butter, room temperature and spreadable

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 1/2 cup (120g) Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (114g) Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 1 cup (120g) Confectioners Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 1/4 cup (60g) Heavy Cream or Whole Milk

Directions
 

Brown Butter

  • In a small sauce over medium heat, add butter and bring to a boil. Continue heating over medium heat, constantly stirring until the butter has turned a nutty brown color. It may be hard to see the color if your butter is foaming a lot, so periodically take it off the heat to check the color.
  • Remove from heat, place into a heat proof glass and then into the fridge to cool off for 30 minutes, or until just barely warm. Divide in half. Half will go into the dough, and reserve the other half to firm up to room temperature for the filling.

Tangzhong

  • Add the flour, water and milk to a small sauce pan. Whisk until smooth, then turn heat to medium. Continue whisking while it heats.
  • Once the tangzhong has thickened (should be thick enough that whisking leaves streaks), remove it from the heat to cool until just warm.

Dough

  • Add the flour, sugar, salt, yeast, milk, eggs, melted brown butter and tangzhong to a stand mixer. Knead with hook attachment for 15-20 minutes. The dough should be smooth but will also be very soft and slightly sticky.
  • Place dough in oiled bowl, cover with plastic, and place into a warm place to rise for an hour or until double in size.
  • After the dough is doubled, punch it down, then roll the dough out to be about 12×16”, with the long side facing you.

Filling, Rolling & Cutting

  • In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon and allspice. Set aside. In another bowl, mix together the chopped apple pie filling and cornstarch until well combined.
  • Spread the room temperature brown butter across the dough (leave a ½” strip bare along the top). Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the evenly over the butter, then spread the apple pie filling + cornstarch evenly as possible over that.
  • From the long-side (facing you), roll the dough up tightly into a log. Use string, floss or a sharp serrated knife to slice 12 rolls. Place rolls into a 9×12” pan sprayed with cooking spray and lined with parchment, then cover with plastic, and allow to rise for another hour.

Baking

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Remove plastic and place the risen rolls into the oven to bake for 20-22 minutes. Frost the rolls when still warm.

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • Add all of the cream cheese frosting ingredients to a medium mixing bowl and beat together using a hand mixer until smooth. Spread over warm rolls and enjoy.

Difficulty Level Intermediate
Servings 8

Ingredients
  

Pie Pastry

  • 5 cups (1.25 L) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 4 egg yolks divided

Filling

  • 2 cans (each 19 oz/540 mL) E.D. SMITH® Blueberry Pie Filling
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) freshly grated lemon zest
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) ground cinnamon
  • 3 tbsp (45 mL) freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) cornstarch

Directions
 

Pie Pastry

  • In large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar and salt. Using pastry blender or fingertips, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal.
  • In medium bowl, whisk together 3 egg yolks and 1/3 cup (75 mL) ice water. Stir into flour mixture until dough comes together. If needed, stir in 1 tbsp (15 mL) more ice water.
  • Divide dough into 2 portions. Shape each into a ball and then flatten into rectangle. Wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Filling

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In large bowl, stir together E.D. SMITH® Blueberry Pie Filling, lemon zest and cinnamon until blended.
  • In small bowl, stir together lemon juice and cornstarch until smooth and blended. Stir into blueberry filling mixture until well combined.
  • In another small bowl, whisk together remaining egg yolk with 1 tbsp (15 mL) water.
  • Arrange 1 dough portion between 2 large sheets of parchment paper dusted lightly with flour. Roll dough into a 17 x 12-inch (43 x 30 cm) rectangle. Peel off top parchment paper. Invert dough onto 15 x 10 x 1/2-inch (38 x 25 x 1 cm) rimmed baking sheet. Remove remaining parchment. Press pastry into bottom and up sides of baking sheet, letting any excess dough overhang edges. Refrigerate until ready to fill.
  • Roll out remaining dough portion between 2 large sheets of parchment paper lightly dusted with flour until it measures 17 x 12 inches (43 x 30 cm). Peel off top parchment paper. To make lattice top, using pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut 1/2-inch (1 cm) strips. Refrigerate for 5 to 10 minutes or until chilled. (Chilling dough will make it easier to work with when weaving lattice top.)
  • Spoon pie filling mixture into prepared bottom crust; smooth top. Working quickly, place half the strips evenly across the filling. Weave the remaining strips diagonally with the first set of strips to form a lattice pattern.
  • Trim edges of strips to align with bottom crust. Pinch edges of crust together to seal, tucking under pastry crust if needed. Flute or crimp edges as desired. Brush pastry with egg wash.
  • Bake in bottom rack for 40 to 50 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Let cool completely on wire rack. Slice into 8 or 10 portions to serve.

Tips

  • Sprinkle coarse sugar over pie before baking if desired.
  • Serve with scoop of vanilla ice cream or dollop of whipped cream if desired. Garnish with freshly grated lemon zest.

  • 1 1/2 tsp (7 mL) pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup (175 mL) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (175 mL) E.D. SMITH® Pure Pumpkin

  • In large bowl, using handheld electric mixer, beat together eggs and sugar for 8 to 10 minutes or until mixture is thick and pale yellow in colour. Fold in pumpkin purée. Sprinkle flour mixture over top and fold into batter. Spread batter into prepared pan; smooth top.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched with finger, and cake tester inserted in centre of cake comes out clean.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (250 mL) brick-style cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) whole (3.25%) milk
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) freshly grated lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt
  • 6 eggs separated and at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup (175 mL) granulated sugar, divided
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) cream of tartar
  • 1 can 540 mL E.D. SMITH® pie filling (rhubarb-strawberry, strawberry, raspberry or blueberry)

Directions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°F). Grease and line bottom of 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan with parchment paper.
  • In double boiler (or in medium heatproof bowl set over medium saucepan of 1 inch/2.5 cm simmering water), add cream cheese and stir until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes. Whisk in milk and butter until well combined and smooth. Remove from heat.
  • Whisk in lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla and salt. Whisk in egg yolks and 1/4 cup (60 mL) sugar until dissolved.
  • In fine-mesh sieve set over small bowl, sift flour and cornstarch. Over cream cheese mixture, sift flour mixture again and whisk to combine.
  • In bowl of stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites and cream of tartar on low speed for 1 minute or until foamy. Increase speed to high and beat until soft peaks start to form. While beating, gradually add remaining sugar, 1 tbsp (15 mL) at a time. Beat until glossy, stiff peaks start to form.
  • Fold one-quarter of egg whites mixture into egg yolks mixture to lighten batter. Gently fold in remaining whites, careful not to deflate batter.
  • Scrape into pan. Place cake pan in large roasting pan. Fill roasting pan with hot tap water so it comes 1 inch (2.5 cm) up sides of cake pan. (The cake batter is very light, so it may float if too much water is poured into roasting pan.)
  • Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until top of cake is golden and feels firm when gently pressed. Turn off oven, prop door open slightly and let cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour. Remove cheesecake from roasting pan and place on wire rack to cool completely.
  • Run a knife around edges of cheesecake to loosen from sides of pan. Invert cake onto plate, remove pan, peel off parchment paper and invert right-side up onto serving plate.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until well chilled. Store for up to 3 to 4 days in refrigerator.
  • Just before serving, top with berry pie filling.

  • 2 (10 mL) tsp Vanilla Extract
  • ⅓ (75 mL) cup Butter, melted
  • 1 (540 mL) can E.D. SMITH® pie filling (strawberry, raspberry or blueberry), divided

Directions
 

  • In large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • In medium bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk and vanilla until blended. Stir egg mixture into flour mixture until just combined. Whisk in butter. Let batter rest for 10-15 minutes.
  • Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Ladle 1 cup (250 mL) batter into waffle iron to cover about two-thirds of grid surface. Drizzle 2 tbsp (30 mL) pie filling onto batter; using tooth pick, swirl mixture to create marbling.
  • Close the lid. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until steamstops emerging from waffle iron and waffle is golden brown and crisp. Alternatively, cook according to manufacturer’s instructions. Repeat with remaining waffle batter and more pie filling.
  • Serve waffles topped with remaining pie filling.

Tips

  • Serve waffles topped with whipped cream! In medium bowl, using handheld electric mixer, whip 1/2 cup (125 mL) heavy or whipping (35%) cream, 2 tbsp (30 mL) confectioners’ (icing) sugar and 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla extract until stiff peaks start to form. Alternatively, serve with Greek yogurt or sour cream.
  • Flavour waffles by adding 1 tbsp (15 mL) freshly grated citrus zest with the eggs if desired.
  • To prevent waffles from getting soggy, as they are cooked, transfer waffles to wire rack over a baking sheet in preheated 200°F (100°C) oven.
  • Garnish with toasted sweetened shredded coconut, chopped nuts or granola for a crunchy twist.

Prep Time 1 hour
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 20 minutes
Difficulty Level Advanced
Servings 18 macarons

Ingredients
  

Salted Caramel

  • ½ cup (100g) White Sugar
  • 2 tbsp (30g) Water
  • 3 tbsp (43g) Unsalted Butter, at room temperature and cubed
  • 2 tbsp (29g) Heavy Cream
  • ½ tsp Vanilla
  • ½ tsp Kosher Salt

Pumpkin Macarons

  • 105 g Sifted Super Fine Almond Flour
  • 105 g Sifted Confectioners Sugar
  • 100 g Egg Whites
  • 100 g White Sugar
  • 3 g (1 tsp) Egg White Powder, otherwise known as meringue powder (optional but highly recommended)
  • 1 tsp Pumpkin Spice
  • ½ tsp Cinnamon
  • Orange and Brown Food Colouring

Pumpkin Buttercream

  • 1 cup (227g) Unsalted Butter, softened
  • ½ cup (115g) E.D.SMITH® Pure Pumpkin
  • 4 cups (480g) Confectioners Sugar
  • ½ tsp Pumpkin Spice
  • ¼ tsp Cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp (28g) Heavy Cream
  • 1 tsp Vanilla

Directions
 

Salted Caramel

  • In a large saucepan over medium heat add sugar and water. Stir occasionally until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture begins to boil.
  • Once the mixture begins to boil turn the heat up to medium-high and allow the mixture to boil, ensuring not to stir it, until it turns amber in color (stirring the mixture will cause crystallization, so refrain from stirring).
  • Once the mixture has become amber in color (360°F on a candy thermometer), add the cubed butter and mix very vigorously to combine. (Be careful, however, because the mixture will bubble and rise up rapidly when you add the butter). If the butter seems to be separating from the caramel, remove it from the heat, then whisk vigorously until it comes together.
  • Next, carefully add in the heavy cream (it will bubble rapidly again), vanilla, and salt. Whisk until smooth and well-combined. Remove the caramel from the heat, allow to cool for 5 minutes, then cover tightly, and allow to cool to room temperature before using to fill macarons. When cooled add to a piping bag.

Macarons: Dry Ingredients

  • Prepare a baking sheet with parchment or silicone mat (if you have enough, prepare 2 baking sheets).
  • Over a large mixing bowl on a scale, sift almond flour until you reach 105g. Discard any large pieces of almond flour. Repeat with the confectioners sugar. Add the pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon, then whisk the almond flour, confectioners sugar, and spices until very well-combined. Set aside.

Making the Meringue

  • Add egg whites, white sugar, and egg white powder to the bowl of your stand mixer, and whisk together. Place the bowl over top of a simmering pot of water (bain-marie), ensuring a tight seal and ensuring that the bottom of the stand mixer bowl is not actually touching the water.
  • Continuously whisk the mixture while it heats up over the bain-marie, heat the mixture until it reaches 140°F (60°C). When temperature is achieved, remove the bowl from the simmering water pot and place onto your stand mixer, fitted with the whip attachment.
  • Beat the mixture, starting on low. Once soft peaks have been formed, increase the speed to medium. Once medium peaks are achieved, increase the speed to high. Beat on high until stiff peaks have formed. Add in the vanilla, and beat until just combined. Add in the food colouring, if using, and beat until just combined.

Macaronage

  • Remove the bowl from the stand mixer, and place a sieve over top. Pour the dry mixture into the sieve, then sift the dry ingredients into the meringue.
  • Fold the dry ingredients into the meringue. To fold, scrape around the sides of the bowl in an entire circle, and then cut through the centre.
  • Be gentle and careful not to overmix or over-deflate the meringue. The mixture is ready to be piped when it ribbons off your spatula, meaning that the batter, when lifted with a spatula, should keep flowing off the spatula in ribbon shapes nonstop, without drizzling off too quickly. If it is coming off in large V shaped chunks it still needs to be folded further. Another test is the figure 8 test: If you can lift some batter up and use it to draw several figure 8’s without the stream breaking, it is ready!

Piping and Drying the Macarons

  • Add mixture into a piping bag with medium sized round tip. Pipe small circles of batter onto a cookie sheet fitted with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Ensure piping bag is held straight up and perpendicular to baking sheet. Using a stencil or a macaron mat makes this process much easier and fool proof, try to make my macarons around 1½” in diameter.
  • Tap the baking sheet multiple times against counter to remove any air bubble from the macarons. If some air bubbles still remain, use a tooth pick to gently poke them out.
  • Preheat oven to 300°F, or 275°F for convection oven. While oven is preheating, allow the macarons to sit and form a skin. This skin will ensure the macarons bake up and not out, giving them those classic “feet”. This skin should form anywhere from 8 minutes to an hour. You know the macarons are ready to be baked when you can touch them lightly without having the batter stick to your finger. Keep checking them to see if they have formed a skin– overly dried macarons are just as much of a problem as under-dried macarons!

Baking

  • Bake for 15-20 minutes. Your bake time will depend on the size of your macarons. Check at 15 minutes, and if they are not ready then keep checking every minute. The macarons are ready when the tops are firm and do not move around their base at all.
  • Allow the macarons to cool completely before attempting to remove them from the sheets/mats/parchment. When cooled, find “perfect pairs” of macaron halves and set aside to be filled.

Pumpkin Buttercream

  • Add the butter and pumpkin puree to your stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment. Beat until light, fluffy and creamy – about 5 minutes. Add in the spices and confectioners sugar in intervals, until very well combined and smooth.
  • Finish by adding the cream and vanilla, then beating until well-combined. Add to a piping bag fitted with a short star tip.

Assembling the Macarons

  • Pipe the pumpkin buttercream in a ring shape onto ½ of the macaron shells (bottoms of perfect pairs). Pipe a dollop of salted caramel into the centre of the piped buttercream ring.
  • Top each bottom with its corresponding top. Drizzle the tops of each assembled macaron with any leftover salted caramel, then sprinkle with flaky salt. Place into the fridge overnight to mature and meld together.

Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 3 hours
Difficulty Level Intermediate
Servings 8

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup lukewarm water, 100 to 110°F
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons dry active yeast
  • ½ teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, partially melted
  • ¾ cup E.D.SMITH® Raspberry Pie Filling
  • 1 egg white
  • 2 tablespoons cream or milk
  • ½ cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or extract
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons milk

Directions
 

  • In a small mixing bowl or measuring cup, add the yeast and ½ teaspoon sugar into the warm water. Briefly stir to combine and let stand for 5 minutes, or until the yeast becomes foamy.
  • Meanwhile, stir together the flour, remaining sugar, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer.
  • Once the yeast is foamy, stir in the milk and egg. Pour the yeast mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined and sticky. Using the dough hook, knead the dough on low speed until it just comes together. Add in the partially melted butter, a tablespoon at a time. Continue kneading the dough until it is smooth and elastic. Try to refrain from adding too much extra flour (a couple tablespoons is okay).
  • Lightly grease a mixing bowl and place the dough inside. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and allow the dough to rest in a warm place until doubled in size, 60 to 90 minutes.
  • Once the dough doubles in size, punch it down and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into four equal portions and tuck them into round balls. Roll each portion of dough into a circle, 10 to 11-inches in diameter.
  • Place one of the dough circles on a piece of parchment paper. Dollop ¼ cup of raspberry pie filling on top and spread it out with an offset spatula. Carefully place the next dough circle on top and repeat. Continue with the remaining dough and filling, ending with a plain dough circle on top. Trim the edges as needed.
  • Using a 3-inch round cutter or the rim of a drinking glass, gently score the center of the circle. Next, cut the dough into 16 equal pieces (like a pizza), stopping at the scored circle in the center. Do not cut through the center of the circle.
  • Take two strips of dough (next to each other) – one in each hand. Twist the pieces away from each other 1 ½ times around. Bring the ends together and pinch to create a point. Continue around the circle until you have 8 points.
  • Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel for 20 to 25 minutes, or until slightly puffed (it will not double in size). Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Slide the star bread (still on the parchment paper) onto a baking sheet. Whisk together the egg white and cream to make an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the star bread and bake for about 25 minutes. When done, the bread will be light golden brown with an internal temperature of 190°F. Allow the bread to cool as you make the glaze.
  • Stir together the confectioners’ sugar, vanilla, and milk to create a pourable glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the partially cooled star bread.
  • The star bread is best enjoyed on the same day as it is made. Cover leftovers with plastic wrap at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour 30 minutes
Resting Time 7 hours 30 minutes
Total Time 9 hours 30 minutes
Difficulty Level Intermediate
Servings 12

Ingredients
  

Cookie Crust

  • 2 cups 250g Crushed Speculoo Cookies, such as Biscoff
  • 6 tbsp 85g Unsalted Butter, melted

Pumpkin Cookie Butter Cheesecake

  • 32 oz 1000g Cream Cheese, well softened (4 blocks of cream cheese)
  • 1 ¼ cups 250g White Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla
  • ¼ tsp Kosher Salt
  • 3 Large Eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 Large Egg Yolks, at room temperature
  • ¾ cup 180g Cookie Butter
  • ½ cup 116g Heavy Cream
  • ½ cup 120g E.D.SMITH® Pure Pumpkin
  • 6 tbsp 90g Full Fat Sour Cream
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 2 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • ¾ tsp Cinnamon
  • ½ cup Caramel or Dulce De Leche, for topping

Directions
 

Cookie Crust

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Add the crushed cookie crumbs and melted butter into a large bowl, then mix with a fork, or your hands, until the butter is well dispersed and the mixture resembles wet sand.
  • Grease a 9” or 10” springform pan, then add the crust into the pan and press it down evenly into the bottom. Use a flat bottom measuring cup to really compact the crust down. Place the crust into the oven to bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature.

Pumpkin Cookie Butter Cheesecake

  • Turn the oven down to 325°F. Prepare the cooled springform pan (with the crust) by wrapping the bottom of the pan with 2 sheets of tinfoil, then set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, or stand mixer, add the soft cream cheese and beat on low until it looks soft and creamy – about 2 minutes. Add the sugar, vanilla, and salt, and beat on low until very creamy – 3-4 minutes. While still beating on low, add the eggs and yolks, one at a time, ensuring that each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next, ensuring that you are also scraping at the bowl as necessary.
  • Add the cookie butter, heavy cream, Pure Pumpkin, and sour cream, then beat on low until the cheesecake filling looks creamy, smooth, and uniform. Finally, add in cornstarch, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon, then beat on low one last time on low until it is well-combined.
  • Pour the filling over top of the cooled crust in the springform pan, then place the cheesecake into a large roasting pan. Pour enough boiling water into the roasting pan so that it reaches about halfway up the outside of the springform pan. Place into the oven to bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes. When the cheesecake is done it should still be a little jiggly in the centre.
  • When done, lightly crack the oven open to allow the cheesecake to slowly cool for about an hour and a half. After an hour and a half, remove the cheesecake from the oven and water-bath and place onto the counter to cool to room temperature. Once at room temperature, wrap with plastic wrap and place into the fridge for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight.
  • Finish the cheesecake with caramel or dulce de leche on top, then serve!

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, xantham gum (if using), baking powder and kosher salt.
  • Add frozen diced shortening to flour mixture, gently toss with hands to coat. Mix in coconut yogurt, continue mixing until dough forms. If mixture is too dry add in ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough comes together.
  • Divide pie dough into two equal halves, form into discs and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Remove one portion of pie dough from refrigerator and place onto lightly floured parchment paper. Sprinkle flour on top and roll out into a 12-inch round, ensuring it is about 3/8-inch thick. Gently transfer to a greased 9-inch pie plate and trim excess off the edges. Flute edges if desired. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until firm.
  • Remove prepared pie plate from refrigerator. With a fork, pierce the bottom of the pie crust all over. Place a sheet of parchment paper of the top of the raw crust, place pie weights or dried beans on top, ensuring to cover the entire bottom. Place in oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until edges begin to slightly brown.
  • Remove pie crust from oven and cool. Meanwhile, in a large bowl combine cherry pie filling, coconut milk, cornstarch and salt until well blended. Pour into cooled pie crust.
  • Bake for 15 minutes; reduce heat to 375°F. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool completely on rack.

Tips

To make a lattice crust on top, roll out remaining pie dough into 12-inch round; cut into 6 strips. Lay 3 strips vertically on top of the pie, folding every other strip back halfway. Take one of the 3 remaining strips and lay it horizontally across the top; unfold the 2 folded vertical strips so they lay over top of the horizontal strip. Fold back vertical strip that was originally unfolded. Lay another strip horizontally across the top; unfold the folded vertical strip to lay over top of the horizontal strip. Repeat on other side of centre strip with remaining pastry strip to form lattice. Cut away extra pastry from edges. Crimp edges; brush top with 2 tablespoons of maple syrup mixed with 1 tablespoon of water and sprinkle with sugar. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before baking.

Pumpkin Babka Wreath

This beautifully braided Pumpkin Babka Wreath created by Tessa Huff has layers of fluffy pumpkin bread and swirls of chocolate-hazelnut throughout. The festive shape is so fun and comforting to make during the colder months. Its tender, buttery babka dough is made with Pure Pumpkin, a sprinkle of toasted hazelnuts and finely chopped dark chocolate which will have you drooling in no time.
Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Resting Time 2 hours
Total Time 3 hours
Difficulty Level Advanced
Servings 8

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 3 ¼ to 3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • cup E.D.SMITH® Pure Pumpkin
  • 2 large eggs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, very soft
  • cup chocolate-hazelnut paste
  • ¼ cup chopped hazelnuts, toasted
  • 2 ounces dark chocolate, finely chopped

Simple Syrup Ingredients

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup water

Directions
 

  • Gently warm the milk to 100 to 110°F (20 to 30 seconds in the microwave). Add the yeast and stir to combine. Set aside for about 5 minutes, or until the yeast begins to foam.
  • Meanwhile, combine 3 ¼ cups flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin and eggs until combined.
  • Once the yeast is foamy, pour the pumpkin mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Add the milk/yeast mixture and stir until combined (some dry spots may remain).
  • Using the dough hook, begin kneading the dough on low speed. Gradually add in the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time. If you find that the butter is not incorporating into the dough, then knead slightly by hand. Continue to mix until the dough is smooth and plump, but not too sticky. This will take 4 to 5 minutes. If it is too sticky, add in more flour, up to an additional ½ cup or as needed.
  • Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to rise in a draft-free room until doubled in size. This will take 1 to 2 hours.
  • Once the dough has doubled in size, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a long rectangle, about 10 X 20-inches. Using an offset spatula, spread the dough with the chocolate-hazelnut paste. Sprinkle on the toasted hazelnuts and chocolate – making sure neither are too big or it will be difficult to cut.
  • Starting at the long edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Pinch the edges to seal. If the dough is at all soft, chill it covered in the refrigerator or freezer for up to 30 minutes.
  • Place the chilled dough on a piece of parchment paper. Using a serrated knife, slice the dough in half lengthwise to create two long ropes. Twist the two ropes together. Holding the two ends, wrap them around to form a wreath. Pinch the ends together to complete the circle. Lift the wreath with the parchment paper onto a baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel for about 30 minutes, or until slightly puffed (it will not double in size).
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F. When ready, bake the babka wreath for 25 to 35 minutes, or until slightly golden on the edges and the thickest part reaches 190°F.
  • During the last 10 minutes of baking, combine the sugar and water together in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer to create a simple syrup. Once the babka is done baking, brush the simple syrup all over the top with a pastry brush. Allow to cool slightly, then serve.

Strawberry Cake Layers

In a separate measuring cup, combine the sour cream and puréed Strawberry Pie Filling until smooth. Set aside
  • In a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, add the sugar, eggs and vanilla. Beat on high for around 5 minutes, the mixture should look thick, fluffy, and be tripled in volume. Then, slowly drizzle in the oil. After all the oil has been added, beat for an additional minute.
  • On low, add the dry mixture to the stand mixer in 3 additions, alternating with the pie filling/sour cream mixture in between. Beat only until the batter becomes smooth.
  • Divide the batter between the three pans, then bake in the oven for around 45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool completely before assembling.

Strawberry Buttercream

  • Add the butter to a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on high for 2 minutes.
  • Turn the stand mixer to low and slowly add the confectioners sugar. Beat until completely incorporated, then add in the puréed Strawberry Pie Filling and salt. Beat until well-combined and fully incorporated.

Frosting & Finishing the Cake

  • Level off each of the cake layers to remove any doming from the cakes.
  • Place one cake layer onto your serving plate or onto a cardboard cake circle. Spread a 1” thick layer of buttercream on top of the cake.
  • Add the second layer on top, then repeat step 2.
  • Add the final layer onto the cake, then frost the outside and top with buttercream for the crumb coat. Place the cake into the fridge for about 2 hours.
  • After 2 hours, remove the cake from the fridge and apply the final layer of buttercream to the sides and top of the cake. Smooth until very smooth and even.
  • Decorate the cake as you desire.

Raspberry Gingerbread Donuts

Raspberry Gingerbread Donuts

This advanced baking recipe for unbelievable raspberry gingerbread donuts was created by Tessa Huff. Absolutely worth the effort. Your taste buds (and friends) will thank you.
Prep Time 1 hour
Cook Time 15 minutes
Resting Time 1 hour 30 minutes
Total Time 2 hours 45 minutes
Difficulty Level Advanced
Servings 12

Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry or instant yeast
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 3 to 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon grated nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Oil for frying
  • 1 cup sugar for dusting
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 cup E.D.SMITH® Raspberry Pie Filling

Directions
 

  • Warm the milk to 100 to 110°F (slightly warm to the touch) and pour it into the bowl of a stand mixer. Stir in both sugars and yeast. Allow the yeast to foam and bubble up before stirring in the egg and butter.
  • Combine the spices with the flour. Add about ½ cup of the flour mixture to the milk mixture at a time, stirring with a wooden spoon to form a thick dough. Attach the dough hook and knead until smooth, about 5 minutes. If the dough becomes too sticky, add a tablespoon more of flour at a time. Cover and let rise until doubled, 45 to 60 minutes.
  • Roll the dough on a floured surface until about ½ inch thick. Cut out donuts with a round cutter, about 3 ½-inches wide. Gently stack the scraps to re-roll and cut. Cut about 12 donuts. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise until puffy, about 45 minutes.
  • Toss together the sugar, cinnamon, and ginger in a bowl bigger enough to fit a donut and set aside. Heat 2-3 inches of oil in a dutch oven or cast iron pan to 365°F. When ready, fry 2 to 3 donuts at a time for about 3 minutes each, flipping halfway. Carefully remove the donuts with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel lined cooling rack. When cool enough to handle, immediately roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Repeat with remaining donuts, maintaining the correct temperature of oil (between 360 and 375°F).
  • When done, poke a chopstick into one side of the donuts. Use the back end of the chopstick to slightly hollow out the center of the donut. Fill a piping bag fitted with a round tip (about ¼ inch wide) with Raspberry Pie Filling. Insert the piping tip into the hole and gently squeeze to fill the donut. Feel the donut expand in the opposite hand as piping and try to overfill them. Donuts are best enjoyed the same day as they are made.

Directions
 

  • Drop teaspoonfuls of the cherry pie filling onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze until hard.

  • Scoop chocolate mixture by tablespoonfuls and roll between palms to form balls. Use your pinkie finger to make a deep well in the truffle and insert a frozen cherry. Close the truffle back up (you may need to add a bit more chocolate mixture). Don’t worry if it is messy, it will be coated in chocolate. Freeze truffles until firm.
  • Microwave remaining 6 oz chocolate on 50% power for 2-3 minutes, until 80% melted. Stir to finish melting. Use a long skewer to grab a truffle and coat in the chocolate. Let excess drip back into the bowl, then place the skewer it in a jar full of dry beans (or pie weights) to let it harden.

Ingredients
  

Dry ingredients:

  • 9 oz all-purpose flour 2 cups lightly spooned and levelled
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves
  • 6 tbsp (3 oz) cold butter

Wet ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup E.D.SMITH® Pure Pumpkin
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Glaze:

  • cup powdered sugar
  • 4 tbsp cream or milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Directions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF.
  • In one large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
  • Grate the cold butter directly into the dry ingredients (I do this by placing the bowl on top of a kitchen scale) then use the whisk to toss it in.
  • In a second bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients. Pour into dry ingredients and gently fold together until 80% combined. Dump onto a sheet of parchment paper and fold it over on itself gently (you aren’t kneading!) a few times to incorporate most of the remaining dry patches. It’s ok if a few floury streaks remain. Pat the dough into an 8″ circle and slice into 8 wedges. Lift onto a parchment lined baking sheet using a floured cake lifter and bake for about 18 minutes, until they feel springy when pressed.
  • If dough is too soft to lift individual scones, bake the whole thing as a circle at 375ºF for about 24 minutes and then pull apart after baking.
  • For Glaze, whisk together: 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, 4 tbsp cream or milk, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Drizzle over warm scones. Enjoy!

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Resting Time 15 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Difficulty Level Advanced
Servings 12

Ingredients
  

For the Meringue Topping

  • 2 egg whites
  • cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Whipped Cream

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese softened
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

For the Cut-Out Pie Leaves

  • Pie dough scraps or single pie dough recipe
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Directions
 

For the Meringue Topping

  • Fill a saucepan with a couple inches of water and bring to a simmer. Meanwhile, whisk together the egg whites and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer. Place the mixer bowl on top of the saucepan to create a double-boiler and lower the heat on the stove to maintain a simmer. Whisking intermittently, heat the egg mixture until it reaches 160F on a candy thermometer (or until very hot to the touch).
  • Carefully move the bowl back to the mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whisk on high speed until the meringue returns to room temperature and holds stiff peaks, about 8 minutes. Add the vanilla and mix until combined.
  • Fill two piping bags fitted with different piping tips (I used star and petal tips) with the meringue. Pipe meringue stars, kisses, and zigzag patterns on top of the completely cooled pie. Gently toast with a culinary torch until the edges of the meringue is golden brown.
  • Alternatively, pile on the meringue and swirl it around using the back of a spoon. You want lots of texture here so the edges get all toasted and brown. Use a broiler to brown the meringue if you don’t have a culinary torch.

For the Cinnamon Whipped Cream

  • Whip cream and sugar together until soft peaks form. Add the remaining ingredients and whip until thick and smooth. Do not over-mix.
  • Fill a piping bag fitted with a large petal tip with the whipped cream. Keeping the narrow end of the piping tip facing away from the center of a cooled pie, pipe petals around the edges of the pie. Continue to pipe concentric circles, leaving the center open. Fill the center of the flower with chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, sprinkles, and chopped nuts.

For the Cut-Out Pie Leaves

  • Roll out pie dough scraps (or a second batch of pie dough) on a lightly floured surface. Cut out leaves with cookie cutters or a paring knife. Place the cut-outs on a lined baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400F. Mix together the egg and milk to create a wash and brush over the chilled cut-outs. Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Place the leaves on top of a cooled pie.

Press firmly against side and bottom of pie plate folding extra crust underneath and pressing on top of rim of pie plate. Crimp edges or leave flat. Use a fork to pierce the crust gently all over the bottom and up the sides of the pie and then refrigerate.

Holiday Meringue Wreath

Holiday Meringue Wreath

As beautiful as it is delicious, this elegant holiday meringue wreath by Jennifer Pallian is perfect for your next family or friends gathering.
Prep Time 45 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour
Resting Time 1 hour
Total Time 2 hours 45 minutes
Difficulty Level Intermediate
Servings 8

Ingredients
  

For meringue:

  • 6 large egg whites at room temperature
  • 1 tsp cream of tartar
  • ½ tsp coarse salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 ½ tsp pure vanilla extract

For topping:

  • cup whipping cream
  • tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 can E.D.SMITH Cherry Pie filling
  • Rosemary sprigs optionalÂ
  • Pomegranate arils optional

Directions
 

  • Preheat oven to 250ºF. Line a rimless baking sheet with parchment paper. Use an overturned 9"" cake pan to trace a circle on the parchment, then flip it over so the pencil side is facing down on the baking sheet. Set aside.
  • Combine egg whites, cream of tartar and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Start beating on medium-low until egg whites froth, then increase to medium-high and beat until soft peaks form.
  • With the mixer running, add the sugar in a very slow stream (a tablespoon at a time) until glossy, stiff peaks form. Beat in the cornstarch (optional: sift it if it's clumpy) and vanilla extract.
  • Spoon the meringue into a large pastry bag fitted with a big round tip. (It's helpful to place the pastry bag inside a tall glass to hold it upright.)
  • Hold the pastry bag upright and squeeze to create a mound of meringue. Continue making mounds all around the circle that you traced, to form a wreath. You can always go back and add more meringue to any mound, so don't worry about making them too small or uneven.
  • Once you've piped mounds all the way around, use the back of a spoon to create a well in each mound (that's where you'll put the whipped cream and pie filling).
  • Bake for 1 hour, then turn off the oven and let it cool inside the oven for 1 hour. The outside will be dry and pale, and the inside will be marshmallowy and soft.Â
  • Just before serving, whip the cream to soft peaks. Whisk in the vanilla. Spoon the whipped cream into the dips you made in the meringue. Top with spoonfuls of cherry pie filling. Garnish with rosemary sprigs and pomegranate arils if desired.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 3/4 cup almond milk
  • 1/4 cup vegan butter
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 packet of active dry yeast 2 1/4 tsp
  • 1/3 cup E.D.SMITH® Pure Pumpkin

  • 2 tbsp vegan butter room temperature
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions
 

  • In a stand mixer (or large bowl), whisk together the almond milk, melted butter, and sugar. The mixture should be slightly warm (100-110˚F) . If it’s hotter, let to cool slightly.
  • Sprinkle the yeast evenly over the warm mixture and let set for 1 minute for the yeast to bloom. (You should see it grow and expand. If it doesn’t, your almond milk is too hot or cold. Pour out the mixture and restart.)
  • Add the Pure Pumpkin, 4 cups flour (not the full 5 cups) and 1 teaspoon of salt to the milk mixture and mix until well combined.
  • Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let sit in a warm place for an hour. The dough should double in size.

  • While the dough is kneading, mix the ingredients for the pumpkin spice filling together.
  • Roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about ½-inch thick then use a spatula to spread the filling mixture all over the dough.
  • Roll up the dough to form a log, and pinch the seam closed. Place seam-side down. Trim off any unevenness on the ends.
  • Using unflavored dental floss or a sharp knife, cut into 2-inch pieces.
  • Place the rolls on a buttered 9×13 inch baking pan, then let sit for 35-45 minutes to proof. The rolls will expand even more.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and bake for 30 minutes until golden brown on top.
  • To make the frosting, mix all the ingredients together in a stand mixer until light and fluffy. Spread onto the cinnamon rolls.

  • Bake in 400ºF (200ºC) for 15 minutes; remove foil and pie weights. Bake for 5 to 10 minutes or until pastry is lightly golden and crisp. Let cool completely.
  • Blueberry Meringue Pie: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place prepared crust on parchment paper–lined baking sheet. Scrape blueberry pie filling into prepared crust; smooth top. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until filling is bubbling.
  • Meanwhile, using electric mixer, beat egg whites at low speed until starting to foam. Increase speed to high; add salt and cream of tartar. Gradually add sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.
  • Position rack in middle of oven; preheat broiler. Using back of spoon or spatula, spread meringue over hot filling, ensuring meringue is touching pie crust edges all around to prevent shrinking. Swirl top attractively.
  • Broil for 1 to 2 minutes or until meringue is golden. Let cool completely on rack in draft-free area until filling is set. (Serve same day as baked for best results.)

Tips

  • Substitute cherry cranberry or rhubarb strawberry pie filling for blueberry pie filling if desired.
  • Use a store-bought pastry shell to save some time.

  • Divide dough into 2 balls; flatten each ball into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before rolling out.
  • On lightly floured work surface, roll out each disk to about 1/8-inch (3 mm) thickness. Using 2 1/2-inch (6 cm) heart-shaped cutter, cut out 10 hearts. Reroll scraps; cut out 10 more hearts.
  • Preheat oven to 400F (200C). Whisk egg with 1 tbsp (15 mL) water; set aside.
  • Brush edges of each heart with egg wash. Place lollipop stick on top of 10 hearts, so top of stick comes to centre of heart; gently press stick into pastry. Add 1 tsp (5 mL) pie filling to centre of each heart. Cap with remaining hearts. Seal edges with fork. Brush pastry with egg wash; prick with fork to make vents.
  • Place on parchment paper–lined baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until pastry is golden brown. Let cool completely in pan on rack.
  • Cream Cheese Icing: Beat together cream cheese and butter until blended; beat in icing sugar and vanilla until smooth. Spread over pops. Sprinkle with heart candies or candy sprinkles.

Ingredients
  

  • cups (625 mL) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) salt
  • 3/4 cup (175 mL) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) cold vegetable shortening
  • 1/3 cup (75 mL) ice water (approx.)
  • 2 cans (19 oz) E.D.SMITH® Apple Pie Filling
  • Granulated sugar for sprinkling

Directions
 

  • Stir the flour with the salt. Cut in the butter and shortening with 2 knives or pastry blender until crumbly; refrigerate. Drizzle ice water over the mixture; stir with fork until the dough forms a ball. If the dough is dry add a few more drops of ice water until it comes together. Form the dough into 2 disks and wrap well. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the rack to the lowest position. Roll out one of the disks on a floured surface to line the bottom and sides of a deep dish, 9-inch (23 cm) pie plate. With a paring knife, trim the dough to be flush with the rim. Pour in the filling. Lightly brush the rim of pie with water.

Ingredients
  

Pie Pastry:

  • 3 cups (750 mL) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) salt
  • 1 cup (250 mL) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) cold shortening, cut into cubes
  • 6 tbsp (90 mL) ice water (approx.)

Mini Fruit Pies:

  • 1 can (540 mL) Your favourite E.D.SMITH® Pie Filling
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) water
  • Turbinado sugar

Directions
 

  • Place the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor. Pulse until well combined. Add the butter and shortening; pulse until mixture resembles a coarse meal. With the motor running, slowly pour in water until dough forms a ball, adding additional 1 to 2 tablespoons more, if needed. Portion into 3 disks and wrap well. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the rack to the lowest position in the oven. Cut 12 parchment paper strips about 1×7-inch (2.5 cm x 18 cm). Line each muffin cup with a strip of parchment (to easily remove pies once baked). Whisk egg with water; set aside.
  • Roll out two pastry disks on a lightly floured surface to 1/4-inch (5 mm) thick. Cut out 12 (4-inch/10 cm) rounds, rerolling scraps, if needed. Fit rounds into each muffin cup. Fill with 1/4 cup (60 mL) pie filling.
  • Roll out remaining pastry into a 9-inch square; trim the edges. Cut into 12 portions. Cut each portion into 5 thin strips.
  • Brush the edge of the pastry in the muffin cups with reserved egg wash. Weave 5 strips over the pie filling to create a lattice top. Seal pastry edges together with fingertips. Brush top with egg wash. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbling. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips

  1. Alternatively, top pies with pastry cut outs using 1 inch (2/5 cm) cookie cutters, such as hearts, diamonds or stars.
  2. Make an all-butter crust by replacing the shortening with additional cold butter.
  3. Mini Mason Jar Pies: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line baking sheet with silicone mat or parchment paper. Prepare mason jar lids so that the rubber sealed disk faces down, then spray the inside with cooking spray. Roll our your dough and use a 4 inch round cookie cutter to cut out the crusts.  Fill the crusts into the prepared mason jar lids and press the dough up the sides.  Add 1tbsp pie filling into crust.  With remaining dough, cut out strips to make the lattice on top.  Add dough strips on top to make lattice. Brush with egg wash. Sprinkle with granulated sugar.  Baked for 25-30 mins until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbling. Transfer to wire rack to cool before eating.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pkg (250 g) each plain brick-style cream cheese, softened

  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) E.D.SMITH® Syrup
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) ground cinnamon
  • 1 prepared Graham cracker crust
  • Whipped cream for garnish (optional)

Directions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). With an electric mixer on medium speed beat the cream cheese with the sugar and vanilla until smooth.

Roll tightly into a log and tie with butcher’s twine.

Servings 20

Ingredients
  

Cake

  • 3/4 cup (175 mL) unsalted butter, softened
  • cups (425 mL) granulated sugar, divided
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) pure vanilla extract
  • 3 cups (750 mL) cake and pastry flour
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) baking powder
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
  • cups (375 mL) milk
  • 6 egg whites
  • cups (375 mL) E.D.SMITH TRIPLE FRUITS® Peach Mango Orange Fruit Spread

Frosting

  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) plain, brick-style cream cheese, room temperature
  • 4 cups (1 L) icing sugar
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) 35% whipping cream

Directions
 

Cake:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and line the bottom of two 8-inch (20 cm) cake pans; set aside. Using an electric mixer, beat butter with 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) sugar for 4 minutes or until very light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks and beat for 3 minutes or until pale. Beat in the vanilla.
  • In a separate bowl, sift the flour with the baking powder, baking soda and salt. Beat on low, add half of the flour mixture, alternating with half of the milk, beating until each addition is incorporated; repeat with remaining ingredients.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. While constantly beating, gradually add the remaining sugar; beat until stiff peaks form. Stir a third of the egg whites into the cake batter. Gently fold in the remaining egg whites. Divide the batter evenly between the two pans.
  • Bake, rotating the pans halfway, for 30 minutes or until a tester comes out clean when a tester is inserted into the centre of the cakes. Cool in pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Invert onto the cooling rack and remove parchment paper. Invert back on to their bottom; cool completely.

Frosting:

  • Beat butter with cream cheese until smooth. Beat in the icing sugar, 1 cup (250 mL) at a time, until well combined. Add the cream and beat for 4 minutes or until very fluffy.
  • Trim the top off the cakes, using a long serrated knife, to make the top flat and even. Cut each cake in half to make 4 layers. Spread 1/2 cup (125 mL) jam over the surface of three layers. On a plate or cake stand, stack the cakes on top of each other with the jam-less cake on top.
  • Spread the frosting all over the top and sides of the cake in an even layer. Use a spoon or small rubber spatula to make decorative swirls in the frosting. Chill for 1 hour before serving.

Tips

  1. Save some time by using a cake box mix instead of baking a cake from scratch.
  2. Place strips of parchment paper between the bottom layer and the serving plate. Add the frosting then remove the parchment. This will protect the serving plate from getting dirty while frosting the cake.
  3. Use your favourite E.D.SMITH TRIPLE FRUITS® Fruit Spread between the cake layers.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bag (680 g) store bought pizza dough
  • 1 cup (250 mL) coarsely chopped walnuts, divided
  • 1/4 cup (50 mL) butter
  • 3/4 cup (175 mL) brown sugar
  • 3/4 tsp (3 mL) cinnamon, divided
  • 1 can (540 mL) E.D.SMITH® Apple Pie Filling
  • 1 9 inch (23 cm) spring form pan

Directions
 

  • Remove pizza dough from refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. In a small saucepan, melt butter. Add brown sugar and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) cinnamon, stirring well to combine. Stir in 2 tbsp (30 mL) of apple sauce from the Pie Filling and pour butter mixture into the bottom of prepared pan. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup (125 mL) of walnuts.
  • Generously flour work surface and gently remove pizza dough from bag onto the floured surface. It will be a bit sticky. With floured hands gently press dough into a rectangle about 11 x 17 inch (28 x 43 cm). Try to keep the thickness as even as possible by stretching and pulling gently, adding more flour if needed to keep from sticking.
  • Sprinkle the surface with remaining 1/2 tsp (2 mL) cinnamon and walnuts. Evenly distribute the Apple Pie Filling over the dough leaving 1 inch (2.5 cm) border around the edge of the rectangle. With a wide edge in front of you, gently roll up dough into a long sausage and with the seam side down, slice into 8 even pieces.
  • Gently place the first slice in the centre of the pan and arrange the remaining 7 evenly around it. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm draft free place for 1 hour.
  • Remove plastic wrap and place pan on a cookie sheet to catch any possible drips and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 50 minutes to 1 hour or until centre is baked. Let stand 1 minute before inverting onto platter. Spoon over any delicious syrup and nuts that may have clung to the bottom. This can be made in a 10 inch (25 cm) regular cake pan cutting the rolled dough into 10 pieces.

  • 2 tsp (10 mL) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) unsalted butter, at room temperature

  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • Pinch salt

  • Stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; set aside. In separate bowl, beat butter with sugar using electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes or until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla.

Ingredients
  

Tart crust:

  • 2-1/2 Cups (625 mL) flour
  • ¼ Cup (60 mL) granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon (1mL) salt
  • 1 Cup (250 mL) cold, unsalted butter, cut into cubes

Meringue:

  • 2 egg whites room temperature

Directions
 

For the Tarts/Crust:

  • In a food processor, fitted with a metal blade, pulse dry ingredients 2-3 times to blend.
  • Add butter and pulse 3-4 times or until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg yolks and cream and pulse until dough begins to come together.
  • Divide dough in half and press into two discs. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour (or up to 2 days).
  • Remove both 9-inch discs from plastic and let rest 20 minutes then roll out both discs on a floured surface to ¼-inch (1.5mm) thickness, then Divide dough into 12 equal portions.
  • Fit one portion of crust into each 4-inch (10cm) tart pan (recommend French tart rings), pressing up the sides to fit. Trim off excess dough.
  • Place prepared tart pans on a parchment lined baking sheet for easy transfer.
  • Prick the bottom of each tart crust with a fork and place in the fridge for 10 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 325ºF (160ºC).
  • Remove baking sheet with chilled tart crusts from the fridge. Place baking sheet in oven and bake 20-25 minutes or until golden.
  • Remove from baking sheet from the oven and cool for 10 minutes before turning tart crusts out onto a cooling rack.
  • When cooled completely, fill each tart shell with ¼ cup (60ml) Lemon Pie Filling and top with fresh fruit, whipped cream or meringue topping.

For the Meringue Topping:

  • Using a hand mixer on high, beat egg whites until foamy.
  • Add icing sugar, one tablespoon (15ml) at time and continue to beat until stiff and glossy.
  • Divide meringue evenly over 12 tarts placed on a baking sheet.
  • Top broil for 1-2 minutes or until golden.

Tips

  • If you don´t have a food processor, just use a fork to cut in the butter.
  • We recommend trying this recipe with French tart rings, available at most baking supply stores.
  • Try using a piping bag when adding the meringue.
