Add just enough water to give the sugar a wet sand consistency. Cook until caramelized. Add the hazelnuts and the almonds and mix with a wooden spoon until coated. Cook until everything is nicely coated and caramelized (dark in color). Remove from the heat and pour onto a sheet of parchment paper. Allow the mixture to cool for a few hours. When cooled, use a food processor to break up the caramelized nuts. Add the peanuts to the food processor and grind until the nuts release their oils and form a paste with the consistency of smooth, old-fashioned peanut butter. Using a double boiler, melt the cocoa butter until completely smooth. Combine the cocoa butter with the chopped bittersweet chocolate until tempered. Mix the chocolate cocoa butter into the nut paste. Add the salt and mix until combined. Pour the mixture onto a plastic wrap-lined sheet pan. Allow to set for a few hours or overnight. When cooled, use an offset spatula to coat the top of the mixture with the milk chocolate. This will be the top of the finished candy so make this layer of milk chocolate a little thicker than you will on the bottom layer. When the chocolate has set, cover with parchment paper and flip over to expose the uncoated side. Using an offset spatula, coat this side of the mixture with milk chocolate. When the chocolate has set, use a sharp chef's knife or a rolling cutter to cut into the desired sized pieces. Chocolate is tempered so that after it has been melted, it retains its gloss and hardens again without becoming chalky and white (that happens when the molecules of fat separate and form on top of the chocolate). There are a variety of ways to temper. One of the easiest ways to temper chocolate is to chop it into small pieces and then place it in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time on high power until most of the chocolate is melted. Be very careful not to overheat it. (The temperature of dark chocolate should be between 88 and 90 degrees F, slightly warmer than your bottom lip. It will retain its shape even when mostly melted. White and milk chocolates melt at a temperature approximately 2 degrees F less because of the amount of lactose they contain.) Any remaining lumps will melt in the chocolate's residual heat. Use an immersion blender or whisk to break up the lumps. Usually, chocolate begins to set, or crystallize, along the side of the bowl. As it sets, mix those crystals into the melted chocolate to temper it. A glass bowl retains heat well and keeps the chocolate tempered longer. Another way to temper chocolate is called seeding. In this method, add small pieces of unmelted chocolate to melted chocolate. The amount of unmelted chocolate to be added depends on the temperature of the melted chocolate, but is usually 1/4 of the total amount. It is easiest to use an immersion blender for this, or a whisk. The classic way to temper chocolate is called tabliering. Two thirds of the melted chocolate is poured onto a marble or another cold work surface. The chocolate is spread out and worked with a spatula until its temperature is approximately 81 degrees F. At this stage, it is thick and begins to set. This tempered chocolate is then added to the remaining non-tempered chocolate and mixed thoroughly until the mass has a completely uniform temperature. If the temperature is still too high, part of the chocolate is worked further on the cold surface until the correct temperature is reached. This is a lot of work, requires a lot of room, and makes a big mess. A simple method of checking tempering, is to apply a small quantity of chocolate to a piece of paper or to the point of a knife. If the chocolate has been correctly tempered, it will harden evenly and show a good gloss within a few minutes. From Dessert Circus, Extraordinary Desserts You Can Make at Home, . by Jacques Torres.

Cut the vanilla bean in half lengthwise and scrape the seeds into the sugar mixture, and then whisk to combine. Cut the leftover vanilla pod pieces into small sections and bury in the sugar. Close the lid and shake a few times. Leave the vanilla sugar mixture overnight to enhance the flavor.
Mix the flour, cornstarch, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a medium bowl. In a large liquid measuring cup, mix the buttermilk, heavy cream, and oil. Crack the eggs and separate the whites into a medium bowl and deposit the yolks into the buttermilk mixture. Using a whisk, whip the egg whites until soft peaks begin to form. Add 2 tablespoons of the vanilla sugar and continue whisking until soft peaks form. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk until it is just mixed (the batter should be slightly lumpy). Using a spatula, slowly fold in the whipped egg whites until just incorporated. Place the batter in the refrigerator until ready to use.
For the apple dipping sauce: Boil the draft cider and brown sugar in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves. Stir in the cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg and whisk until combined. Add the diced apples and simmer until the apples are cooked through.

On the stovetop, heat the oil or lard in a deep roasting pan (if you will be using the oven) or in a large Dutch oven (if you will be cooking on the range). (Note: you will be poaching the duck, not frying it, so, it is important to avoid making the oil too hot.) Add the duck to the warm oil. If you are using the oven, put the duck in a preheated 200 degree F oven for about 6 to 8 hours. If you are using the stovetop, cook the duck at a simmer. In either case, the duck must be cooked until it falls away from the bone. Remove all the duck meat from the bones and reserve meat until needed. Cut the endive in half and remove the core. Lightly sear the cut sides of the endive in olive oil over medium heat in a nonstick pan. Sprinkle in the sugar, salt, pepper, and butter - cover and continue to cook until al dente - about 10 minutes. You want the endive to be slightly tender, but firm enough to support the duck filling. Season with salt and pepper, remove from heat, and let cool. Prepare the mango/berry puree by adding the mango and strawberries to a blender or food processor and blending until smooth. If duck is cold, heat or re-heat it, depending on whether you have made your own confit, or have purchased it prepared. Shred the duck with 2 forks. Fill each endive-half with duck, spoon mango berry puree on top and garnish with a raspberry. Serve slightly warm.

For the candied garlic: Coat a sheet pan with oil for the finished garlic. Place the garlic and water in a large saute pan over medium to high heat. Boil the cloves until they are cooked through but still firm to the touch and still maintain their shape. This takes about 8 minutes. By this time the water should be all the way or close to being evaporated. At this point, add the sugar in with the garlic cloves and continue to cook over medium heat while stirring occasionally. After a couple of minutes the sugar will begin to caramelize. At this point it is important that the garlic be stirred constantly so they become evenly coated with the caramelized sugar. Continue to caramelize the garlic until golden to dark golden brown. This process happens very quickly so stay alert. Turn the garlic out onto the greased sheet pan and cool.

Roasted potatoes are a great side for this dish. Simply place raw potatoes underneath your chicken when roasting. They will be perfectly cooked when your chicken is ready.; Take the chicken out of the packaging and rinse it thoroughly under cold running water and pat dry. Place the chicken in the refrigerator and let it dry for at least 12 hours, or until the chicken skin is somewhat dry. Take cheesecloth and form it into a small ball (a tennis ball size) tied up with butcher's string. Put the ball in a bowl with 2 teaspoons salt, the rosemary or thyme sprig, 1 marjoram sprig and the whole black peppercorns. Fill the bowl with water so that the water level is slightly above the cheesecloth ball and put it in the refrigerator for 12 hours. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Take the chicken out of the refrigerator and make sure that it is completely dry. Rub the olive oil over the surface of the chicken and sprinkle evenly with the remaining 1 tablespoon salt. Loosen the skin over the breast and slide the remaining 2 sprigs marjoram under each side. Take the cheesecloth ball, squeeze out slightly the excess brine, and stick it into the chicken cavity along with the half lemon. Tie the legs together with butcher's twine. Place the chicken breast-side up on a baking rack and tuck the wings under the shoulders. Place the chicken in the oven and roast until the skin dries up and the salt becomes white, 15 to 20 minutes. Increase the temperature by 25 degrees every 15 minutes until you reach 375 degrees F. Continue this process until the chicken is cooked. To check the chicken for doneness, insert a thermometer into the breast part below the wings and read the heat. If the chicken has reached 165 degrees F and the skin is somewhat crispy, shut down the oven and let it rest for another 10 minutes. If you like to have crispier skin, turn on your broiler for 2 to 3 minutes until the skin gets darker. Cut the chicken into quarters and serve.

1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces and chilled in the freezer for 10 minutes
1/2 cup ice-cold water
1 teaspoon lemon juice
6 large egg yolks 1/2 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup cornstarch
Pinch of salt
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups cold heavy cream
1/2 cup cold mascarpone cheese
1/4 cup maple syrup or 1/4 cup maple sugar
12 Maple Cookies, recipe follows, optional 12 ounces (3 sticks) unsalted butter 3/4 cup real maple syrup, preferably grade B
3/4 cup sugar
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions: For the crust: In the bowl of a food processor, pulse together the flour, sugar, and salt until combined. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. While continuing to pulse, slowly add the water and lemon juice until the dough just comes together. Squeeze a small amount of dough between your thumb and index finger to make sure it holds its shape. If it doesn't, add cold water 1 tablespoon at a time while still pulsing, but make sure that the dough doesn't form into a wet ball. Remove the dough from the food processor. Divide the dough in half, press each half into a disk, and wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the dough for 20 minutes. (You will only use 1 disk of dough for this recipe; the other disk of dough will keep for up to 1 month, wrapped well, in the freezer.) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. On a lightly floured work surface, roll 1 dough disk out to a 12-inch round. Line a 9-inch pie pan with the dough. Crimp the edges and dock the bottom of the dough with a fork. Freeze the dough in the pan for 20 minutes. Line the dough-lined pan with parchment paper and fill to the rim with dried beans or pie weights. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the weights and parchment. Continue baking until the crust is baked through, 15 to 20 more minutes. Let cool completely. For the filling: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, combine the egg yolks, maple syrup, cornstarch, and salt, whisking until smooth and pale. In a large, heavy saucepan, combine the cream, milk, and vanilla and bring to a simmer. With the mixer running on medium speed, slowly and carefully pour the hot milk mixture into the mixer and whisk until combined. Transfer the mixture back to the saucepan and whisk constantly over medium-low heat until the mixture thickens to the consistency of mayonnaise. Remove the pastry cream from the heat and add the butter, whisking until incorporated. Pour the pastry cream directly into the cooled prepared crust. Cover the tart with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cool. To finish: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk the heavy cream, mascarpone, and maple syrup to stiff peaks. Using a small offset spatula, spread the topping across the surface of the pie. Garnish each slice with a Maple Cookie, if you like. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter, maple syrup, and 1/2 cup of the sugar until light and fluffy. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, and salt until fully combined. Add the flour mixture all at once to the butter mixture and mix on low speed until just incorporated. Turn the dough out onto a sheet of plastic wrap. Press the dough into a disk and wrap it up. Refrigerate for 1 hour. On a floured work surface, roll out the dough to 1/8 inch thick. Using a maple leaf cookie cutter, stamp out cookies and place 1/2 inch apart on the prepared pans. Press together and re-roll the scraps 1 time.

Once the turkey leg has braised and tenderized, remove from the slow cooker and let it cool until you are able to handle it, 10 to15 minutes. Once cool, remove the skin and discard. Pull the meat from the bone and tendons. Be aware that turkey legs have quite a few tendons. Using 2 forks, shred the turkey meat and set aside. Pour the turkey stock that is left in the slow cooker into a saucepot and bring it to a simmer. Dissolve the cornstarch in 4 tablespoons water, and then whisk that mixture into the turkey stock. Let the sauce boil for a minute to let the cornstarch thicken the sauce. Once the sauce is thickened, turn off the heat and add the shredded turkey to the pot to keep it super moist. For the latkes: In a food processor fitted with the shredding blade, shred the potatoes and the onion. (Alternatively, you could use a box grater). Once shredded, place the potatoes and onions into fine mesh strainer set over a bowl or the sink. Press and strain as much liquid from the potatoes and onions as possible, then transfer to a mixing bowl. (Alternatively, place the mixture in a kitchen towel and wring the potato mixture dry.) Add the scallions, shredded potatoes and onions to a large bowl. Whisk the eggs in a separate bowl and add them to your potato scallion mixture. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Dust the potatoes with the flour, gently tossing until it appears that the flour has soaked up any moisture. Start with 1/3 cup and adjust up to 1/2 cup if necessary. In a large cast-iron skillet, heat the vegetable oil until shimmering. Using 2 forks, gently gather up a heaping tablespoon worth of the potato mixture and gently place the potato mixture into the oil. Using the forks, spread the mixture out to make a loose, spider looking patty. Then press the latke flat using a flexible spatula. Once the latkes are golden brown on one side, 2 to 3 minutes, flip them to brown the other side, another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove them from the skillet and drain on a baking sheet lined with a drying rack or paper towels and season immediately with salt. Repeat until all latkes are cooked. You can always hold the latkes in a 200 degree F oven to keep warm, while you fry in batches. To assemble: Take a crispy latke and top with some of the shredded smoked turkey leg and garnish with a dollop of the Kumquat Cranberry Chutney. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the kumquats, vinegar, sugar, cranberries, ginger, mustard, cinnamon, garlic, shallot, salt and pepper to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until the chutney thickens, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

" 17120,"Jeff's Fresh Black Bean Salsa 1 large sweet Vidalia onion, diced 2 to 3 fresh limes, juiced 1 tablespoon kosher salt 4 large or 5 small ears fresh corn, shucked (or substitute 1 1/2 cups defrosted frozen corn) 2 (28-ounce) cans good quality whole peeled tomatoes (recommended: Tuttorosso brand) 2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed (recommended: Goya) 1 large green pepper, diced 1 cup chopped cilantro leaves 1 tablespoon ground cumin 1 habanero or Scotch bonnet pepper, finely minced with seeds (see Cook's Note) Instructions: In a large bowl, mix together the diced onion, juice of 2 limes, and kosher salt. Let stand at room temperature for 10 to 20 minutes (this will soften the bite of the onion). In a large pot with a steamer insert add about 2 inches of water. Add the corn and steam until just cooked through, about 5 to 8 minutes. Then shock the corn in cold water until cool to the touch. With a paring knife, carefully shave off the niblets onto a cutting board. A good way to do this is to slice off about 1/2-inch of the end of the corn cob. Hold the cob upright with the flat end on the board and shave with knife tip pointed downward at 4 o'clock. Don't cut into the cob. Tweeze and pick through the kernels with fingers, pulling out wayward strands of corn silk. While nothing beats fresh corn for this recipe (and this is a lot easier than it sounds) a close second is a good quality frozen corn. NEVER USE CANNED CORN! Pour the tomatoes into a colander over the sink, and with your hands squeeze out the liquid without overly squishing them. Loosely chop the tomatoes into 1/2-inch chunks. Toss the corn, tomatoes, black beans, green pepper, cilantro, cumin, and habanero into the bowl with the marinated onions. Taste and add more lime juice, salt, cumin, hot pepper or even more cilantro, if needed.

3 cups mixed red and green seedless grapes 2 starfruit 1 kiwi 2 tablespoons sugar Instructions: Set the watermelon on its side (stem end facing left or right) and cut off a small flat piece of rind from the bottom so the watermelon is stable. Reserve the flat piece. To make the cockpit: Lightly draw an oval (about 4 inches wide and 5 inches long) on the top of the watermelon with a pen or marker, slightly farther from the stem end (which will be the back of the spaceship). Use a paring knife to remove the oval, reserving it. Scoop out 3 cups of watermelon balls using a melon baller. Remove the remaining watermelon flesh and save for another use.
To make the nose of the spaceship: Cut one of the oranges in half slightly off center, so one half is large than the other. Scoop out the flesh from the smaller half with a spoon to make an orange rind cup (reserve the larger half). Squeeze the juice from the scooped orange flesh into a large bowl; discard the squeezed flesh.
Skewer the scooped-out orange half onto a wooden dowel and insert the dowel in the front of the watermelon spaceship, sticking out horizontally. (Tip: You can use a meat mallet to tap in the dowel, skewer or toothpicks if the rind is very hard.) Stick 3 grapes, alternating colors and spaced evenly, on the rest of the dowel.
To make the wings: Cut the reserved oval piece in half lengthwise to make the wings. Cut a small piece from the top and bottom of each wing at an angle, so they'll sit flat against the watermelon. Attach each wing with 2 toothpicks, sitting them slightly behind the cockpit. To make the tail of the spaceship: Insert a skewer in the back of the watermelon spaceship, slightly above where the stem was, at a 45-degree angle. Cut 4 thin slices of starfruit and stick them on the skewer in size order (smallest at the top), evenly spaced. Add a green grape to cover the tip of the skewer.
To make the alien ship captain: Slice a small piece from the bottom of the kiwi so it sits flat. Use a paring knife to carve a smile into the kiwi. Use an apple corer to cut 2 eyes from the reserved watermelon flat piece. On the white side, carve a small round in the center of each circle (but don't go all the way through). Cut the ends from a red grape and press the ends into the rounds to make eyeballs. Stick the eyes onto toothpicks and insert in the top of the kiwi. Slice a piece of starfruit and sit the alien on top to make weird alien feet.
Slice the remaining starfruit and add to the bowl with the orange juice. Put the reserved large orange half cut-side down on a cutting board and remove the rind and pith with a paring knife. Cut the orange segments into the bowl. Repeat with the remaining whole oranges. Add the watermelon balls and remaining grapes to the bowl and sprinkle with the sugar. Toss well. Spoon the fruit salad into the spaceship and sit the alien captain in the driver's seat of the cockpit. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Cook in boiling water for 10 minutes, (add dried scallops here if you like) then lower heat and cook for about 30 minutes. While making stock, wash and drain all vegetables. Cut mizuna into 2 strips (you won't need much of this-just to add green color). Slice the kamaboko fairly thin. Put a few mochi into toaster and toast until puffy. Remove chicken from stock onto a plate. While chicken is cooling, strain the soup in either cheesecloth or some kind of cloth to strain* to a clean pot. Add the carrots and daikon and cook until tender (about 10 to 15 minutes). (Shred 1 breast of chicken and add to broth. Save the rest to make chicken salad or whatever for another time.) Check flavor and add salt if needed. Just before serving, put mizuna in soup just to parboil-must be crunch/crisp. Put toasted mochi in a bowl, pour the soup over mochi, then put several slices of kamaboko on top and serve.

One 3-bone standing rib roast, about 6 pounds
1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs 1/4 cup ground French roast coffee or espresso 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons ground sage
1 1/2 teaspoons hot Hungarian paprika

1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
Freshly ground black pepper
12 ounces coffee beer Sunny's 1-2-3 Horseradish Sauce, recipe follows 1 cup sour cream 3 heaping tablespoons prepared horseradish
2 shakes Worcestershire sauce
Instructions: For the brine: In a large bowl, add the coffee, salt and 4 cups warm water and stir to dissolve the salt. Add the rib roast. (If the liquid does not cover the meat completely, either make sure to flip the roast halfway through brining, or transfer the brine to a large turkey bag, add the rib roast and then seal tightly so the roast is completely surrounded by the brine.) Brine, refrigerated, at least 8 hours and up to 12. For the rub: In a small bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, ground coffee, brown sugar, parsley, sage, paprika, garlic powder, salt, white pepper and a nice grind or two of black pepper. Remove the roast from the brine and pat it as dry as possible with a paper towel (discard the brining liquid). Using your hands, coat the roast on all sides with the rub, gently massaging it into the flesh. Let rest on the counter to come to room temperature, about 2 hours. For grilling and serving: Place a drip pan under the grates on a grill and pour in the beer. Heat the grill to medium high (300 to 400 degrees F). Place the roast bone-side down directly on the grill over the drip pan on indirect heat. Close the grill and cook until medium rare (120 degrees F), about 1 hour and 40 minutes. Remove from the grill and cover with aluminum foil to rest for a real 20 minutes. Slice between the ribs and serve, or cut the meat off the ribs in a chunk and slice from there.

1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon almond extract 2 cups powdered sugar, plus more as needed 2 tablespoons corn syrup, optional (see Cook's Note) 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Splash almond extract Pinch kosher salt
4 to 6 tablespoons heavy cream
White sanding sugar, for sprinkling
Green food coloring, for the glaze
Instructions: For the cookies: Whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, sprinkles, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and set aside. Cream together the butter, granulated and powdered sugars and lemon zest in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until pale and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the egg and mix to combine, and then add the extracts and mix to combine. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until blended. At this point you can wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour or up to 2 days, or you can get going on rolling out your dough and cutting out your cookies immediately.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats and set aside. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to a little less than 1/2-inch-thick, dusting with more flour as needed to prevent it from sticking to the work surface or rolling pin. Cut out the cookies using a beet-shaped cookie cutter, then use an offset spatula to transfer to a lined baking sheet, 1 inch apart. Re-roll scraps and cut out more cookies. Bake until the cookies are just thinking about starting to turn brown, beginning checking larger cookies for doneness at 12 minutes and smaller cookies at 10 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the glaze: Mix together the powdered sugar, corn syrup (if using), vanilla, almond extract, salt and 4 tablespoons heavy cream in a medium bowl until smooth. It should be very thick but just thin enough that when you lift your spoon it falls off in smooth ribbons. If it's too thick, stir in more cream little by little, and if it's too thin, stir in a few more spoonfuls of powdered sugar until you get the right consistency. Fill a piping bag fitted with an 1/8-inch round tip with three-quarters of the glaze and decorate the white parts of the beets. Sprinkle with white sanding sugar. Mix the remaining glaze with a few drops of green food coloring, then transfer to a piping bag fitted with an 1/8-inch round tip and pipe on the leaves. Let set and enjoy!

Stir occasionally to ensure the rice doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot. While the rice is cooking, heat the butter and olive oil in a small pan over medium heat and add the prosciutto. Cook until it begins to crisp, about 2 minutes. Set aside. Once the rice is cooked, remove to a large baking sheet and let cool for 10 minutes. (Rice can be made a day ahead, cooled, and stored in the refrigerator overnight.) While the rice is cooling, pour 1/2 cup (120 ml) room-temperature water into a shallow bowl. Place the bread crumbs in a separate shallow bowl. Set both aside. Once the rice is cool, combine it with the crisped prosciutto, egg, parsley, Parmigiano cheese, and salt in a large bowl. Using an ice cream scoop or lightly wet hands, create a 2-inch (5-cm) round ball with the rice mixture. Make an indentation in the middle and add a cube of mozzarella cheese. Encase the cheese with rice and reshape into a perfect ball, then set on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining rice mixture. Using your hands, lightly wet the outside of each of the rice balls with the room-temperature water, then roll in the bread crumbs. Set them on the baking sheet. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Drop 4 rice balls into the oil (they should fully submerge) and cook until the outside is golden brown, about 3 minutes. If your pot is wide, carefully roll the rice balls in the oil to ensure even cooking on all sides. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Repeat with the remaining rice balls. They are best eaten at room temperature, garnished with a sprinkling of grated parmesan cheese, if you can wait!

" 17203,"Tuna Stuffed Chiles 8 Anaheim chiles, charred, stemmed, and seeded, left whole for stuffing Two 6-ounce cans albacore tuna in water, drained
1 cup fresh peas (from 1 pound in the shell), or canned, or frozen and thawed 1/2 cup fresh corn kernels (from 1 ear), or canned, or frozen and thawed 3 tablespoons mayonnaise Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup sliced carrots 2/3 cup olive oil 2 cloves garlic, peeled 2 small red onions, halved and thinly sliced
2/3 cup white distilled vinegar 2 teaspoons crumbled dried Mexican oregano 2 bay leaves Instructions: To char the chiles: Over a gas flame, char the chiles on all sides until blackened, placing them into a sealable plastic bag to sweat for about 10 minutes. Remove the chiles from the bag and, using paper towels, wipe off the charred skin from the chiles. With a paring knife, slice the chiles down the center just to reveal the inside, being careful not to fully cut them in half. With a spoon, scoop out the seeds and the vein, keeping the stem and the rest of the cl intact. Place the chiles in a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish and set aside for stuffing. To make the tuna filling: Combine the tuna, peas, corn and mayonnaise in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. To make the pickling liquid: Cook the carrots in boiling salted water until just crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the garlic and onions and cook until the onions are slightly cooked, but still crispy, 5 minutes. Add 2/3 cup water and the vinegar and bring to a simmer (see Cook's Note, below). Add the carrots, oregano and bay leaves. Simmer until the vegetables are crisp- tender and almost all of the vinegar has evaporated, 8 minutes. Let cool slightly.

Combine the apple cider and 1 cup water in a food-safe spray bottle. Set both aside. Trim the excess fat and silver skin from the brisket, leaving a 1/4-inch layer of fat on the top side of the brisket (the side with the fat cap). As you trim, make sure to remove any hard pieces of fat found throughout the meat since it will not render off during the cooking process. Transfer the brisket to a rimmed baking sheet; sprinkle it evenly all over with the spice rub then use your hands to rub the spices into the meat. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour to let the seasoning penetrate. Preheat a pellet grill to 225 degrees F (see Cook's Note). Place the brisket, fat-side-up, directly on the grill grates. Insert a temperature probe if you have one, otherwise you will need an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature regularly. Close the lid and cook for 2 hours. At that point, mist the brisket with the apple cider mixture. Close the lid and cook, misting with the apple cider mixture every hour, until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, about 6 hours more. Transfer the brisket to a rimmed baking sheet or cutting board then wrap the meat completely in aluminum foil. Return the wrapped brisket to the grill and re-insert the temperature probe. Close the lid and continue to cook until the internal temperature reaches 203 degrees F, about 3 hours. Remove the brisket from the grill and let rest, wrapped, for 30 minutes. Unwrap the brisket and transfer to a cutting board. Slowly separate the point cut (the thick fatty part) from the flat cut (the thinner, leaner part) by running a sharp knife through the fat that separates the two muscles. The flat cut can be sliced thinly and served immediately. For the burnt ends, increase the pellet grill temperature to 275 degrees F and dice the point cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Transfer to a disposable aluminum tray or rimmed baking sheet lined with foil. Toss with the BBQ sauce and return to the pellet grill. Close the lid and cook, tossing occasionally, until the meat is caramelized all over and dark around the edges, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, chili powder, tomato paste, paprika, crushed red pepper, allspice and cloves; cook, stirring, until the paste is dark brick red, about 3 minutes. Add the ketchup, vinegar, molasses, brown sugar, salt, soy sauce, Worcestershire, mustard, black pepper, bay leaf and 1 cup water. Adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook until the flavors come together, about 30 minutes. Remove and discard the garlic cloves and bay leaf; let the sauce cool to room temperature.

Add the fish bones and cook them over low heat, covered, until any flesh on them flakes from the bones. Add the vegetables and any shells from the shrimp, cover and cook over low heat until the vegetables sweat, about 10 minutes. Deglaze the pot with the wine, scraping up any particles sticking to the bottom of the pan. Stir in the saffron, thyme, and basil. Add the fish stock or water, and let the mixture gently boil for 1 hour. Then puree it in a food processor or pass it through a food mill. Pass the puree through a medium strainer into a clean stockpot. Stir in the Pernod. Season the base, to taste, with salt, pepper and cayenne.

Line two 12-cup muffin pans with cupcake liners and set aside.
Crack the eggs into a small container and set aside. Set the sugar aside. Then, in a small bowl, mix the gluten-free flour, nutmeg and salt together with a fork and set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer on medium speed, beat the butter with a paddle attachment until the butter is light in color and fluffy. Add the sugar to the butter and continue beating until the sugar is uniformly incorporated into the butter. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Then restart the mixer on low speed and add 1 egg at a time, waiting until it is fully incorporated in the butter mixture before adding the next egg.
Once all the eggs have been added, stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure that all the butter is incorporated with the eggs. Add the dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk and oil, added in two additions, fully incorporating each addition into the batter before moving to the next step. If needed, stop the mixer after each addition and scrape down the sides of the bowl, and then resume mixing on low. Once all the dry ingredients and the milk have been combined with the butter mixture, evenly fill the cupcake pan cavities two-thirds of the way. Bake the cupcakes until the top of each cupcake is slightly springy to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 14 to 16 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately turn the cupcakes out of the pan onto a cooling rack. Let the cupcakes cool completely.
Putting it all together: Using an apple corer or knife, core the centers out of the cooled cupcakes and remove. Fill the cupcakes with the Vanilla Bean Pastry Cream. Pipe the Dark Chocolate Italian Meringue Buttercream to cover the top of each cooled cupcake. Bring the shallow dish or container for the finished pastry cream near the stovetop, and have the plastic wrap nearby as well. Measure the butter and vanilla bean paste into a small container and bring over near the stovetop. Pour the milk and 1/4 cup sugar into a heavy saucepot and scald over medium heat until the milk starts to steam. Do not boil the milk!
Meanwhile, whisk together the cornstarch and the remaining 1/4 cup sugar to combine and prevent any lumps in the cornstarch, and then add the whole egg and egg yolks. Whisk the egg yolk mixture until smooth and completely combined, and then bring over to the stove area and set the bowl with the yolks on top of a damp dish towel.
When the milk is steaming, remove from the heat. Whisking the egg yolk mixture constantly, slowly pour the milk in a steady stream into the egg yolk mixture. Once all the milk is combined with the egg yolk mixture, pour it back into the saucepot and return to medium-high heat, whisking constantly. Continue whisking and bring it to a boil. Let the egg yolk mixture boil for 1 minute (and continue whisking constantly so lumps don't form!) and then remove from the heat. Stir in the butter and vanilla bean paste, and then pour the entire contents of the pot into the shallow dish.
Immediately cover the surface of the pastry cream with the plastic wrap and refrigerate until cool, about 1 hour. Once cool, remove from the refrigerator and whisk until completely smooth and lump free. Fill a piping bag with the pastry cream and set aside until you need it. Measure the sugar and 1/4 cup water into a heavy saucepan and heat over high heat until the sugar mixture reaches 250 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes (use a candy thermometer to gauge the temperature).
While the sugar is cooking, beat the egg whites on medium speed in the mixing bowl of a stand mixture to the soft peak stage (whites will look foamy and white). Be careful not to over whip the whites (if the egg whites start to look clumpy, then they've been over whipped. If this happens, toss them out and start again! If the whites are beating faster than the sugar is cooking, turn down the mixer speed. You can always turn up the speed if you need to!) Add the cream of tartar and continue whipping.
While the egg whites are whipping on medium speed, gently pour the sugar syrup down the side of the mixing bowl. Turn the speed up to high and whip until the mixing bowl no longer feels warm to the touch, about 7 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl at 30 second intervals, stirring in between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted. Turn the mixer speed back to medium and add the butter in small chunks until it is completely incorporated. Stop the mixer, scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the vanilla bean paste and sea salt. Turn the mixer back on medium-low speed until the vanilla paste has mixed entirely through the buttercream. Spoon a small amount (about 1/2 cup) of the buttercream into the melted dark chocolate and stir to combine. Add the chocolate mixture back to the buttercream and whip thoroughly, stopping the mixer to scrape down the sides of the bowl to make sure all the chocolate is combined.
Fit an 18-inch plastic piping bag with an 847 star tip and twist the bag right by the tip to prevent the buttercream from leaking out. While you grasp the piping bag right above the star tip with your hand, fold the top of the piping bag over your hand and spoon the butter cream into the piping bag.

On a lightly floured surface, unfold the pastry dough and cut into 4 even squares (cut once horizontally and once vertically). Gently roll out each square, increasing the size of the square by about 20 percent. Place the squares on a baking sheet and spoon the chicken mixture in the center. Fold the squares diagonally to create triangles. Pinch the edges together to create turnovers (use a little water if needed to bind). Press the edges with a fork to create a decorative border. Whisk the egg with a splash of water and brush the turnovers with the egg wash. Cut a small slit in the top to allow the steam to escape during baking. Bake the turnovers until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let cool at least 10 minutes before serving as the insides will be very hot.

Heat the oil in large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Pour in the eggs and swirl the pan until the egg covers the entire surface area. Cook until set on the bottom, about 1 minute. Flip carefully to keep it in one piece and cook 1 minute more. Slide onto a plate or cutting board to cool, then fold the egg crepe in half and fold once more. Cut into julienne strips and set aside. Reserve the pan for the carrot filling.
For the spinach filling: Bring a pot of water to a boil and prepare an ice water bath. Add the spinach to the boiling water and blanch until it turns bright green, about 30 seconds. Transfer the spinach to the ice bath and let it sit for 5 minutes, then remove and squeeze it dry. Place in a medium bowl, add the sesame oil and season with salt. Mix well and set aside.
For the carrot filling: Wipe the egg pan clean with a dry paper towel, add the sesame oil and heat over medium-high heat. Cook the carrots until just tender and soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt. Set aside.
For the rolls: Prepare a small bowl of water on the side both to help prevent the rice from sticking to your hands and for sealing the kimbap at the end.
Add the rice, sesame oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a large bowl and mix until combined. The rice should be cool enough to handle. If not, let cool for 5 minutes.
Lay a sheet of gim rough-side up (smooth/shiny-side down) on a bamboo sushi mat with one of the shorter sides closest to you. Spread 3/4 cup of the rice mixture (about the size of a baseball) across the entire sheet in an even layer, leaving 1/4 inch of gim on the bottom and 1/2 inch on the top empty. Make sure the rice is evenly distributed and that no spot is empty.
Spread one-quarter of the egg, spinach and carrot filling horizontally in rows in the middle of the rice, covering only about a third of the rice. Leaving the rest of rice completely empty, continue layering one-quarter of the crab stick, burdock root and danmuji on top. Using your thumb and index finger and with the help of the bamboo mat, start rolling slowly from the side nearest you, while using your middle and ring fingers to secure and tuck in the filling. As you roll and the kimbap begins to enclose onto itself, pull the bamboo mat toward you and continue to roll until completely closed. When you reach the end of the rice, lightly brush a small amount of water at the top edge of the gim (to ensure sealing) and continue rolling, gently pressing down and squeezing on the bamboo mat. Slowly unroll the bamboo mat and re-center the kimbap. Reroll and gently press down on the bamboo mat one last time to secure everything in its place. Lightly brush the rolls with sesame oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Set aside and repeat for the remaining rolls.
Using a sharp, clean knife, cut the kimbap into 1/2-inch pieces, making sure to keep the fillings intact. Wipe and clean the knife each time to cut. Serve immediately.

Add the remaining shrimp and pulse until the shrimp is mostly chopped into large pieces. Carefully transfer the shrimp mixture onto a parchment-paper-lined sheet tray. Wet your hands and lightly form the shrimp mixture into a disc (wetting your hands will prevent the shrimp mixture from sticking to them). Divide the disc into 4 equal amounts. Use your hands to form the mixture into 4 sausages or \shrimp dogs\ approximately 6 inches long and 1 inch wide, wetting your hands as needed. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate while you make the grilled vegetable relish. Prepare a grill or large grill pan for medium-high heat. Thread the tomatoes onto the wooden skewer, leaving only 1/2 inch of the skewer revealed on each end. (This prevents the skewer from having to be soaked in water before grilling.) Put the skewered tomatoes onto a baking sheet along with the onions and pickle slices. Brush all of the vegetables liberally with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Lightly oil the grill grates. Arrange the skewered tomatoes, onions, and pickle slices on the hot grill. Cook until the tomatoes are lightly charred in spots and have started to burst, 6 to 8 minutes, using a pair of tongs to rotate the tomatoes occasionally so that they cook evenly. Cook the onions until lightly charred and the flesh is tender, 6 to 8 minutes total. Cook the pickle slices until lightly charred and have distinct grill marks, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the grilled vegetables to the same baking sheet that they were on before. Cool the vegetables slightly before quartering the tomatoes and chopping the onions and pickle slices into small pieces. Place the cut vegetables into a medium mixing bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and the pickle brine. Stir to combine and season to taste with salt and pepper. Reserve. Remove the shrimp dogs from the refrigerator and brush them liberally with the remaining tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Use your hands to carefully arrange the shrimp dogs on the grill and cook until lightly charred on all sides and just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes total, using a pair of tongs to rotate the shrimp dogs as they cook. You will know that they are cooked through when the texture turns from soft to springy and a cake tester inserted through the center comes out hot to the touch. Transfer to a plate or baking sheet. Gently open up each of the 4 hot dog buns, being careful not to unhinge them. Arrange the hot dog buns cut-side down on the grill and cook until lightly charred and warmed through, about 1 minute. Smear the inside of the grilled buns with the remaining 2 tablespoons mayonnaise. Place a shrimp dog on each hot dog bun then spread a spoonful of the reserved relish on top of each.

Combine the sugar and butter in the bowl of the mixer and cream together, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally, until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla and whip an additional 30 seconds to incorporate. In another medium bowl, sift together the cake flour, baking powder and fine salt. With the mixer on low speed, pour half the coconut milk into the butter and sugar mixture. Turn the mixer off and add half the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until the dry ingredients are just incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Repeat this process with the remaining coconut milk and dry ingredients.

2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon sumac
1 small head iceberg lettuce, cut into 1/2-inch ribbons
1 quart peanut oil
3/4 cup finely ground white cornmeal
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Four 6- to 8-inch banh mi or French bread rolls
Instructions: Combine the buttermilk and 2 teaspoons of hot sauce in a small bowl. Add the oysters and refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour. While the oysters are soaking, whisk the mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, the remaining tablespoon of hot sauce, pickle brine, 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, parsley, black pepper, cayenne, garlic powder and sumac together in a medium mixing bowl. Add the iceberg lettuce and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Heat the peanut oil in a 5-quart Dutch oven over high heat until it reaches 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Then lower the heat to slowly bring the oil up to 375 degrees F. Meanwhile, combine the cornmeal, panko, the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Remove each oyster from the marinade and shake off the excess moisture. Dredge in the cornmeal mixture, then move to a cooling rack set over a half-sheet pan. Allow the oysters to sit for several minutes afterwards to allow the breading to set. Transfer 6 oysters at a time to the hot oil and fry until golden brown, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. (Watch your thermometer because the introduction of cold food will likely pull the temperature down a bit.) Carefully transport the fried oysters to a clean cooling rack. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper. Bring the oil back to 370 to 375 degrees F and repeat with the remaining oysters. Split the rolls in half lengthwise. Tear out a bit of bread from the center of each roll, creating a trough. (If you wish, lightly toast the rolls in a 375 degrees F oven for 3 minutes.)

Next, with a biscuit cutter or cookie cutter that fits the bottom of the flower pot, cut the slices into rounds. (You can put the scraps in a zip-top freezer bag and use them at a later date.)
Into each of your (washed and dried) flower pots, drop a round of pound cake, lightly pressing to make sure they are all the way down. Hold a straw up against the side of a flowerpot and snip it so it's 1/2 to 1 inch shorter than the top. Then, just use that as a guide to cut the rest of the straws. Stick each straw into the center of each pot, anchoring it into the cake.
Now, grab whatever flavor ice cream you'd like to use, and either set it out on the counter to soften it OR nuke it for 20 seconds or so. It needs to be somewhat soft for this step. Just spoon it into the pots, working it around the straw, until it almost reaches the very tip top of the straw. Clean up the top edges of the pot with a damp paper towel. Now return the pots to the freezer until firm.
In a food processor, pulse the cookies until they resemble nice, rich topsoil. (You can also crush them in a zip-top bag with a rolling pin.) When they are nice and firm, take the pots out of the freezer. Place a couple of gummy worms on top of the ice cream, then spoon the dirt (crushed cookies) over the top. Be generous here!

When the butter is foamy, add the cubed pumpkin and cook, stirring often to stop it from sticking and burning, until it softens and falls into a puree. Turn the pumpkin into a saucepan, add 1/2 of the cream and half the herbs and cook over a low heat for approximately 1 hour, or until the puree is thick and the liquid has evaporated. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching. Remove from the heat and beat in an additional 2 tablespoons of butter. Whisk in the beaten eggs, season, to taste, with salt and pepper and set a side to cool. On a floured surface, roll out the pasta as thin as possible. Cut into 2 sheets and brush 1 of them with egg wash. Using a teaspoon, place 24 equal mounds of the pumpkin puree on the egg-washed dough, about 2 inches apart. Cover the mounded dough with the second sheet of pasta and press around the mounds of pumpkin to seal the dough. Using a ravioli cutter or a sharp knife cut the ravioli. Dust a tray with semolina and place the ravioli on it. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, while you make the sauce. Prepare the sauce: In a saucepan, reduce the stock with the shallots to 1/2 cup. Add the remaining cream and reduce by half. Over a low heat, whisk in the remaining 4 tablespoons butter, a little at a time, over low heat. Strain the sauce into a clean saucepan and add the remaining sage and thyme. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the ravioli to the rapidly boiling water and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain. Add the ravioli to the sauce and bring just to a boil. Correct the seasonings. Divide the ravioli among preheated soup dishes and spoon the sauce over them. Garnish each serving with a fresh sage leaf. Serve immediately. A simple but delicious alternative sauce can be made from fresh unsalted butter, minced fresh sage, and a little freshly grated Parmesan. Spinach Pasta Dough: Wash the spinach carefully in 2 or 3 changes of water. Cut off 1 inch of the stems. Chop the leaves and puree them in a towel or napkin and squeeze the juice into a measuring cup. (Use a towel or napkin that you dont mind using only for this purpose, because spinach juice stains.) There should be about 1/4 cup of juice. Stir 2 tablespoons of the spinach puree into the spinach juice and reserve. Discard the remaining puree. Combine the flours in the food processor with salt. With the motor running, add the eggs, olive oil, and enough of the spinach mixture through the feed tube so that the dough forms a ball pressed together. Wrap the dough in plastic and let it rest at room temperature, for at least 2 hours. Divide the dough into 4 pieces and roll and cut 1 at a time as desired. Keep. The unrolled dough covered to prevent it from drying. Place any cut pasta on baking sheets that have been liberally dusted with semolina. Place the flours in a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Add the salt, eggs, and olive oil. Process until the dough begins to mass on the blade (about 1-2 minutes). Remove the dough from the processor and press it into a ball. Wrap in plastic and let rest at least 2 hours in the refrigerator before rolling and cutting. (Rolling the dough by hand is extremely tedious; with a small pasta machine and cutting attachment, you will save time and produce a much more uniform product.) Notes: The pasta can be made by hand or in an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook. For each of these methods, mix the dry ingredients together first, make a well in the center, add the wet ingredients and mix them together slowly until everything is combined well. Wrap in a plastic. In a stockpot, place the chicken bones, then add all the remaining ingredients except the water. Add water to cover by 2 inches, bring it to a boil and reduce the heat. Simmer the mixture for 2 or 3 hours, skimming the surface scum form the stock as it collects. Strain the stock into a clean pot, and grease it thoroughly. Bring the stock to a boil, and reduce it over moderate heat to 2 quarters. Use the stuck immediately or let it cool to room temperature and refrigerate or freeze until needed.

Combine half of the shrimp, 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of black pepper in the bowl of a food processor and process until mostly smooth. Add the remaining shrimp and pulse until the shrimp is mostly chopped into large pieces. Carefully transfer the shrimp mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Wet your hands and lightly form the shrimp mixture into a disc (wetting your hands will prevent the shrimp mixture from sticking to them). Divide the disc into 4 equal amounts. Use your hands to form the mixture into 4 sausages or \shrimp dogs\ approximately 6 inches long and 1 inch wide, wetting your hands as needed. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate while you make the grilled vegetable relish.
Prepare a grill or large grill pan for cooking over medium-high heat. Thread the tomatoes onto the wooden skewer, leaving only 1/2 inch of the skewer revealed on each end. (This prevents the skewer from having to be soaked in water before grilling.) Put the skewered tomatoes onto a baking sheet along with the onions and pickle slices. Brush all of the vegetables liberally with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.
Lightly oil the grill grates. Arrange the skewered tomatoes, onions, and pickle slices on the hot grill. Cook, using a pair of tongs to rotate the tomatoes occasionally so that they cook evenly, until the tomatoes are lightly charred in spots and have started to burst, 6 to 8 minutes. Cook the onions until lightly charred and the flesh is tender, turning once, 6 to 8 minutes total. Cook the pickle slices until lightly charred and distinct grill marks form, turning once, 6 to 8 minutes total. Transfer the grilled vegetables to the same baking sheet that they were on before. (Leave the grill on.)
Cool the vegetables slightly, then quarter the tomatoes and chop the onions and pickle slices into small pieces. Place the cut vegetables into a medium mixing bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and the pickle brine. Stir to combine and season to taste with salt and pepper. Reserve.
Remove the shrimp dogs from the refrigerator and brush them liberally with the remaining tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Use your hands to carefully arrange the shrimp dogs on the grill and cook, using a pair of tongs to rotate the shrimp dogs occasionally, until lightly charred on all sides and just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes total. (You will know that they are cooked through when the texture turns from soft to springy and a cake tester inserted through the center comes out hot to the touch.) Transfer to a plate or baking sheet.
Gently open up each of the 4 hot dog buns, being careful not to unhinge them. Arrange the hot dog buns cut-side down on the grill and cook until lightly charred and warmed through, about 1 minute. Smear the inside of the grilled buns with the remaining 2 tablespoons mayonnaise.

To make the icing: In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine powdered sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of cold water. Mix until the ingredients have dissolved.
Add marshmallow creme and microwave for 5 seconds, or until the creme is soft enough to fold into the mixture. Stir until smooth. Add whipped topping and stir again, until evenly combined. Cover and refrigerate the icing until you're ready to ice the Danish.
To make the Danish: In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, oats, granulated sugar, soymilk, and almond extract, and stir until thoroughly mixed. Fold in cherries and set aside. This is your filling.
Spray a large baking sheet with nonstick spray. Roll out the dough on the sheet into a large rectangle of even thickness. If using crescent roll dough, pinch together perforated seams to seal. Arrange baking sheet in front of you so that the short sides are on the left and right and the long sides are on the top and bottom. Spoon the cherry filling lengthwise across the middle third of the dough, leaving 1/2-inch borders on the left and right of the filling.
Starting from the top, make 12 vertical cuts-about 1 inch apart-along the top section of the dough, stopping about 1/2 inch from the filling. Repeat with the bottom section of the dough. This will create 1-inch-wide strips of dough on both the top and bottom of the filling.
Alternate folding the 1-inch strips from the top and the bottom over the filling, covering the filling completely and creating a crisscrossed, \braided\ appearance. When you reach the last few strips, cross them toward the middle of the Danish. After all the strips have been folded, fold the left and right sides of the dough in toward the filling, so the filling cannot escape, and pat firmly to seal.
