• Use a serrated knife to cut the angel food cake into small cubes and set aside.
• Make the whipped mascarpone cream by adding the mascarpone, heavy cream, sugar and vanilla extract to the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment (or use a large bowl with an electric beater or whisk). Whip on high speed until medium-stiff peaks form, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
• Assemble the shortcake jars by layering ½ cup packed angel food cake cubes at the bottom of each jar, dividing the angel food cake between the 4 jars. Next add a layer of pie filling, 2 heaping tablespoons pie filling per jar. Then, follow with ¼ cup whipped mascarpone cream.
• Repeat the layers as stated above, starting with angel food cake, pie filling and top with the remaining cream.
• Optional: Pipe the whipped cream on for a fancier presentation. Top with a few fresh sliced strawberries and then enjoy!

Crust:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease 13 x 9-inch (33 x 23 cm) baking pan.
• In large bowl, stir together cake mix, egg and melted butter until combined. Scrape into prepared pan; press evenly.

Filling:

• In medium bowl, whisk together confectioners’ sugar, flour, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves.
• In another large bowl, using electric mixer, beat together pumpkin, cream cheese and melted butter until combined and smooth. Add eggs, brown sugar and vanilla; beat until incorporated. Add confectioners’ sugar mixture and stir until combined. Pour over crust; smooth top.
• Bake in preheated oven until edges are set but the centre still slightly jiggles, about 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool.
• To serve, dust with 1 tbsp (15 mL) confectioners’ sugar and cut into bars.

Raspberry Curd Filling

• Whisk together E.D. SMITH® Raspberry Pie Filling, sugar (if using), and egg yolks to a large pan over medium heat, until smooth and fully combined. Continue to heat, while whisking constantly, until the curd reaches 165F or begins to bubble lightly. Remove from the heat.
• Add in the unsalted butter cubes, then whisk until combined with the curd.
• Transfer the curd to a bowl, cover the surface with plastic wrap, then place into the fridge to cool fully.

Shortbread Cookies

• In a large bowl, beat together the butter, vanilla and confectioners sugar, until pale and fluffy.
• Sift in the flour, cornstarch, and salt, then beat in until it becomes a dough.
• Divide dough in half then press each dough halve together, wrap in plastic, then place into the fridge for 30 minutes.
• Remove dough from the fridge, roll out to be 1/4” thick, then use a flower shaped cookie cutter to cut out cookies. Use mini easter cookie cutters to cut out the centres of half of the cookies.
• Place onto a parchment lined baking sheet, then place back into the fridge for 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350F.
• Place cookies into the oven, then bake for 9-10 minutes.
• Allow cookies to fully cool, then begin filling by spreading about 1 tablespoon of raspberry curd onto each of the cookies without cut outs.
• Dust the cut-out cookies with a small amount of confectioners sugar, then place each on top of a cookie with raspberry curd spread, sandwich together, then enjoy immediately or allow them to ‘meld’ together in the fridge for a few hours.

Strawberry Cake:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and line bottoms of two 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pans with parchment paper.
• In medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• In large measuring cup, whisk together milk, Greek yogurt and vanilla paste.
• In large bowl, using electric mixer on medium speed, beat together sugar and butter until light and fluffy. One at a time, beat in eggs, incorporating each fully before adding another.
• With mixer on low speed, alternate adding flour mixture in 3 parts and milk mixture in 2 parts, finishing with flour mixture until combined. Divide batter between prepared pans; smooth tops.
• Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a tester comes out clean when inserted into centre. Let stand for 15 minutes before turning cakes out onto wire rack to cool completely.

Vanilla Frosting:

• In large bowl, using electric mixer, beat butter until light and fluffy. On low speed, beat in confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla until combined. Increase speed to high; beat for 1 to 2 minutes or until frosting is smooth and creamy.

Assembly:

• Transfer frosting to piping bag fitted with round tip. (Alternatively, transfer to sealable bag and snip off ½-inch/1 cm corner.)
• Cut cakes in half horizontally but keep them stacked. Transfer 1 stacked cake to serving platter, forming the bunny’s “head.”
• Cut 2 convex-shaped “ears” from each side of the second stacked cake and arrange them at the top of the head to form ears. Transfer the remaining stacked concave-shaped piece about 1/2 inch (1 cm) below the head to make a “bowtie.”
• Remove top layers of the cake. Pipe 1/2-inch (1 cm) strip frosting around edges of bottom layer of bunny head cake, creating an outline. Spread strawberry pie filling in centre of frosting. Cap with top cake layers.
• Pipe remaining frosting all over cake, spreading evenly over top and sides using offset spatula.
• Using coloured icing, assorted candy, licorice and sprinkles, decorate bunny’s ears, eyes, nose, whiskers and bowtie. Refrigerate cake for at least 2 hours before serving.

Crust:

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line 9-inch (23 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, with paper overhanging edges.
• In large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using pastry cutter or fingertips, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in egg, vanilla and vinegar until just combined. The dough will be crumbly but should hold together when pressed.
• Press about two-thirds of dough evenly into bottom of prepared pan.

Filling:

• In medium bowl, stir together E.D. SMITH® Cherry Pie Filling, lemon zest and lemon juice. Spread evenly over crust.
• Using remaining dough, flatten into larger pieces and arrange onto cherry pie filling. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until top is lightly golden and filling is bubbly. Let cool completely in pan.

Glaze:

• Meanwhile in medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over cooled pie before cutting into bars.

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.

Cookies

• Preheat oven to 350F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
• Using a handheld or stand mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy.
• Next, add the eggs, and vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
• With the mixer on low, add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until just combined.
• Scoop large balls of cookie dough, about 2 ½ tablespoons, roll in extra sugar, and place evenly on prepared cookie sheets. For a flatter cookie, feel free to use the bottom of a glass to flatten the balls of dough slightly.
• Bake for about 10 minutes or until golden around the edges.
• Let cookies cool on a wire rack.

Buttercream

• Using a handheld or stand mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter, and slightly cooled, melted white chocolate together until smooth.
• With the mixer on low, slowly add in the powdered sugar one cup at a time.
• Once all the powdered sugar is incorporated, add the vanilla extract and heavy cream. Beat on high speed for 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy.

Assembly

• Once the cookies are cooled, pipe swirls of buttercream onto the bottom of half of the cookies.
• Pipe or spoon about a tablespoon of raspberry pie filling into the center of each buttercream swirl.
• Sandwich the remaining cookies on top.

• 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.

• 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!

• Grease a 9x13 casserole dish and set aside.
