PISTACHIO-ROSE SHORTBREAD SQUARES



Pistachio-Rose Shortbread Squares image

This dough benefits from an overnight rest in the fridge, so plan accordingly. Freeze-dried raspberries are available at many grocery and health food stores; if unavailable, omit and use more sanding sugar for the coating.

Categories     Cookies     Holiday 2018     Butter     Tea     Egg     Lemon     Vanilla     Pistachio     Raspberry     Christmas     Dessert     Bake

Yield Makes about 50

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg
2 Tbsp. rose rooibos tea or other rooibos tea, crushed
1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup raw pistachios, chopped
1/4 cup freeze-dried raspberries
1/4 cup pink or red sanding sugar

Steps:

  • Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat powdered sugar and butter in a large bowl until aerated and pale, about 3 minutes. (Alternatively, use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.) Scrape down sides of bowl, then beat 2 minutes more. Reduce mixer speed to medium, add egg, and beat until well incorporated. Add tea, lemon zest, and vanilla and beat, scraping down sides of bowl, until combined, about 30 seconds more.
  • Reduce mixer speed to low and beat in dry ingredients, followed by pistachios. Stir dough a few times with a spatula, making sure to get to bottom of bowl.
  • Turn out dough onto a clean work surface and divide into quarters. Working one quarter at a time, place dough on a sheet of parchment paper and pat with your hands into a log, then pull the parchment up around the log and, using the parchment to help contain the dough, press it firmly against your work surface, rotating and squaring off edges until you have a long 1"-thick rectangle. Wrap parchment-wrapped dough tightly in plastic wrap and chill at least 3 hours.
  • Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 325°F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Unwrap dough and let sit at room temperature 10-15 minutes.
  • Pulverize raspberries into a fine powder in a food processor or spice mill. Transfer to a plate and mix in sanding sugar.
  • Roll dough in raspberry sugar, pressing with your hands to adhere. Using a thin, sharp knife, cut into 1/3"-thick slices, rotating rectangle a quarter turn after each slice to help maintain its shape. Arrange slices on prepared baking sheets, spacing 1/2" apart. Bake cookies, rotating pans top to bottom and front to back halfway through, until opaque and barely golden, 14-16 minutes. Transfer pans to wire racks and let cool.
  • Do Ahead:
  • Dough can be made 4 days ahead. Keep chilled. Cookies can be made 1 week ahead. Store in an airtight container at room

PISTACHIO LIME SQUARES

Categories     dessert

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into 16 small pieces
1/4 cup confectioners sugar, plus extra for garnish
Pinch of salt
2 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon finely grated lime zest
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
Small pinch salt
1/3 cup shelled, unsalted pistachio nuts, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and lightly butter an 8 x 8-inch baking pan.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, butter, confectioners sugar, and salt and rub the mixture between your fingertips until it is the consistency of large moist breadcrumbs. Press the sweet dough evenly onto the base and about 1 inch up the sides of the prepared baking pan, and place the pan in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm the pastry. Bake in the center of the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the pastry is firm and golden brown all over.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat the eggs together with the sugar until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is pale. Beat in the baking powder, lime zest, lime juice, and salt. Stir in the pistachio nuts. Pour this mixture over the prebaked crust, making sure that the pistachios are evenly distributed, and return to the oven for 20 to 25 minutes more, or until the filling is set and puffy. Transfer the pan to a rack to cool and refrigerate for at least 1 and preferably 2 hours, or overnight, tightly covered. Just before serving, sift a little confectioners sugar over the top and cut into squares.

Dark chocolate, ginger & pistachio squares image

No cooking is required to make these vegan chocolate squares studded with stem ginger, gingernut biscuits and pistachios. Best enjoyed with an afternoon cuppa

Provided by Sophie Godwin - Cookery writer

Categories     Dessert

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

75g coconut oil, plus extra for the tin and 1 tbsp for the ganache
250g gingernuts
250g vegan dark chocolate, finely chopped
2 balls of stem ginger from a jar, chopped, plus 2 tbsp of the syrup
handful of pistachios, shelled and roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Oil a 20 x 20cm brownie tin and line with baking parchment. Tip the gingernuts into a food processor and blitz to crumbs. Melt the coconut oil in a small pan over a low heat or in a heatproof bowl in the microwave, then pour this over the crumbs and pulse to combine. Tip the mix into the prepared tin, press into an even layer and chill until needed.
  • Meanwhile, put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl with 1 tbsp coconut oil and the ginger syrup. Slowly pour 150ml boiling water from the kettle into the chocolate mixture, whisking all the time until you have a smooth ganache. (If you haven't chopped the chocolate small enough and a few lumps remain, simply zap in the microwave for 10 seconds until smooth.) Stir in a large pinch of salt.
  • Pour the ganache over the biscuit base and scatter with the stem ginger pieces, pistachios and a sprinkle of salt. Chill for at least 4 hrs until set, then cut into 25 bite-sized squares. Can be made up to three days in advance and kept covered in the fridge. Bring out of the fridge 20 mins before serving to soften up a little.
