ALMOND BUTTER PIE WITH CHOCOLATE SALTINE TOFFEE CRUST



Almond Butter Pie with Chocolate Saltine Toffee Crust image

This is no ordinary pie crust: Inspired by the holiday classic saltine toffee candy (saltine crackers dipped in caramel and chocolate), it is crunchy, slightly coconutty, salty and sweet. The creamy no-bake almond butter filling is the ideal match.

Categories     dessert

Time 7h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2/3 cup organic virgin coconut oil, melted
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 sleeves saltines (about 80 crackers), coarsely crushed
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1/4 cup caramel sauce
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup creamy almond butter, at room temperature
One 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
Sliced skin-on almonds, for decorating

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mix together the oil, granulated sugar, crushed saltines and 1/2 cup water in a large bowl. Press into the bottom and all the way up the sides of a 9-inch deep-dish pie dish. Chill for 15 minutes. Bake the crust until golden, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, microwave the chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes. Set aside 2 tablespoons in a small bowl.
  • Drizzle the crust with the caramel sauce, then the remaining melted chocolate. Refrigerate while you make the filling.
  • Whip the cream in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Beat the almond butter and cream cheese in a second medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the confectioners' sugar and beat until smooth. Fold in the whipped cream until just combined.
  • Pour the filling into the crust and smooth out the top, taking care not to cover the crust edge. Drizzle the reserved chocolate in a lacy pattern around the edge of the pie and decorate with the sliced almonds. Chill until set, 6 hours and up to overnight.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h10m

Yield 30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup smooth, unsweetened almond butter
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup plus 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup sliced, skin-on almonds, coarsely chopped
5 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • For the cookies: Adjust the racks to the top and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
  • Combine the butter and almond butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or in a large bowl if using a hand mixer). Beat on medium-high speed until smooth and combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the brown sugar and 1/3 cup of the granulated sugar and continue to beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined. Adjust the speed to medium-low and add the flour in two batches, mixing until just incorporated.
  • Combine the chopped almonds and the remaining 3 tablespoons granulated sugar in a small bowl.
  • Scoop out even tablespoons of cookie dough, roll into balls and then dredge in the almond-sugar mixture. Space the balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until the cookies appear dry and slightly cracked on the top and golden brown on the bottom, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Use the rounded side of a teaspoon to make an indentation in the center of each cookie. Let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets, and then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
  • For the chocolate ganache filling: While the cookies cool, combine the chocolate and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 45 second increments, stirring well between each, until smooth. Let cool completely at room temperature.
  • Fill a pastry bag fitted with a medium star tip with the chocolate ganache. Pipe about 1 teaspoon of the ganache into the center of each cookie. Serve, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

CHOCOLATE-ALMOND BUTTER CUPS



Chocolate-Almond Butter Cups image

Almond butter is a staple in my pantry and in my diet. It's high in protein, easy to tote around, and so, so good. Here, it serves as the primary ingredient in a perfect little bite-size dessert that is a much healthier take on our favorite name-brand treats.

CHOCOLATE ALMOND BUTTER POTATO FUDGE



Chocolate Almond Butter Potato Fudge image

With a peanut allergy and several jars of almond butter, both smooth and crunchy, I searched for a way to use them that wasn't just substitute almond butter for peanut butter. The more I looked, the more I realized I needed to try to come up with a recipe to my taste, and my Hubby's. The potato candy recipes got me thinking, so...

Provided by Sandi Weiso Brown

Categories     Chocolate

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2/3 c instant potato flakes, dry (i use hungry jack)
2/3 c water
1/3 c milk (i used 1%)
1 c potato--stiffly mashed, plain cooked, pealed, instead of above 3 ingredients.
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 lb confectioners' sugar
1/4 c cocoa powder, unsweetened--hershey's--leave out for vanilla fudge
1/4-1/2 tsp salt--can be left out
1 1/2 Tbsp very softened butter, not melted
1 jar(s) 12 0z. almond butter, no-stir; creamy or crunchy
can use peanut butter or hazelnut butter or other nut butters.
other possible ingredients: finely shredded coconut; toffee chips; chopped cherry, etc.

Steps:

  • 1. Ingredients: 2/3 C. potato flakes (Hungry Jack's) 2/3 C. water 1/3 C. milk Or 1 C. stiffly mashed, plain cooked, pealed potato 2 tsp. vanilla extract 2 pounds confectioner's powdered sugar ¼ C. Hershey's or good quality unsweetened cocoa (for vanilla fudge, leave out the cocoa) ¼ to ½ tsp. salt--can be left out. 1 ½ Tbl. Very softened butter, but not melted completely. 1 12-oz. jar no-stir (or thoroughly stirred) almond butter--Creamy or Crunchy. (can use peanut butter or hazelnut butter or other nut butters) *Other possible ingredients: finely shredded coconut; toffee chips; chopped cherry, etc.
  • 2. Directions: Please read ALL directions first!
  • 3. Thoroughly mix or mash potato; mix in vanilla, and set aside.
  • 4. Put about 1 pound of powdered sugar into a large mixing bowl. Mix cocoa and salt into sugar.
  • 5. Stir the 1 Cup of potato mixture with vanilla into the 1 pound of p. sugar, until completely mixed. Mixture will be fairly moist.
  • 6. Add the very soft butter, mixing well. (Save a little sugar to powder the rolling surface so the fudge dough will not stick.)
  • 7. This is important, and the fun part! Be patient, it will be worth it! Continue blending, very well, the remaining pound of powdered sugar about half a cup at a time into the mixture until the fudge dough is the texture of play dough. Use your hands to knead the fudge dough to the right texture.
  • 8. You want the fudge dough to be thick, but not sticky, and flexible enough to roll out, and then, roll up as you would a jelly roll. If fudge dough is too dry, lightly moisten your hands with water and knead the dough until all moisture is evenly incorporated. A little water goes a long way! Continue to knead and add moisture as needed, until the fudge dough is ready to roll out.
  • 9. Roll out dough into about a 12" circle or rectangle and thickness is about 3/8". I do the rolling on non-stick foil or sugar-dusted wax paper or sugar-dusted surface. Try lightly rolling edge of dough into a tube, if the dough is too dry and cracks too much, you can re-knead adding more moisture into the dough. Continue until fudge dough has the consistency and flexibility of play dough, and not too sticky.
  • 10. After rolling out dough into shape, spread the almond butter over the entire surface of the fudge dough. (If you would like, you can sprinkle finely shredded coconut or other ingredients over the almond butter for added flavor.)
  • 11. Start rolling dough with almond butter into as tight a roll as you can (without squeezing out the almond butter) to start so the roll will not be too large in diameter when completed. (When finished, mine is a kind of "square" roll instead of round. It will make square pieces when completely cut.)
  • 12. If the fudge dough is not already as stiff as you would like, you may chill the roll for half hour or so, then slice roll into ½" slices; then, cut slices into fourths (about normal fudge-size pieces), but, as it is a fudge, you can slice first, then refrigerate (I slice first since slicing will become more difficult as the fudge firms).
  • 13. Enjoy!

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 box caramel cake mix
1 can(s) dulce de leche [13.4 oz.]
16 oz powdered sugar
8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 stick melted butter, divided
4 large eggs
1/3 c slivered almonds, toasted
1/3 c toffee bits
1/3 c mini chocolate chips, plus 1/2 cup
1 Tbsp heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 13x9 inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside. Toast the almonds at 350 degrees for 8 minutes or until golden. Set aside to cool.
  • In a mixing bowl mix together the cake mix, one stick of melted butter and one egg until combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. On top of the crust sprinkle the mini chocolate chips, toffee bits and toasted almonds.
  • In the same mixing bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese and the Dulce de Leche until combined.
  • Beat in the remaining 3 eggs, vanilla, powdered sugar and melted butter. Whip on medium high speed so that all of the ingredients come together nicely. Pour the filling over the crust and place into the oven.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes. When you remove it from the oven, the cake will still appear a little "jiggly." This means you did a great job not over baking the cake!
  • GLAZE: Melt 1/2 cup of additional chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of heavy cream in the microwave. Stir until completely smooth then drizzle over the cake before serving.
  • Allow the cake to cool to room temperature then drizzle with chocolate glaze and sprinkle with toffee bits. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 3 1/2 dozen buddies

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup almond butter (about 10 ounces)
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs (4 sheets)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 to 4 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
One 12-ounce bag semisweet chocolate chips or 12 ounces chopped semisweet chocolate
1 tablespoon shortening

Steps:

  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and almond butter on medium-high speed until very smooth. Add the graham cracker crumbs and vanilla and beat again until smooth. On low speed, add 2 cups of the confectioners' sugar and beat to combine. Continue adding the sugar, about 1/2 cup at a time, until you can form a handful of the mixture into a slightly sticky ball. Refrigerate the dough just to firm it up a bit, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and put on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate the dough again just to firm it up a bit, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt the chocolate chips and shortening in a double boiler or a bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir until smooth. Remove the bowl from the heat and let the chocolate cool and thicken while the buddies chill in the refrigerator. (You want the chocolate thick enough so you can dip and coat the buddies.)
  • To dip them, poke a buddy with a wooden skewer or toothpick and swirl it in the melted chocolate, leaving a little of the almond butter mixture peeping out at the top. Drop it gently back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Once you've dipped all of the buddies, refrigerate them until the chocolate is set, about 30 minutes.
