OUR BEST AMBROSIA RECIPE EVER

Steps:

• Whisk together Greek yogurt, honey, 1 tablespoon water, vanilla bean paste, and salt in a medium bowl until smooth. (Store yogurt mixture, covered, in the refrigerator up to 2 days.)
• Cut peel and pith from oranges; cut oranges into ¼-inch-thick rounds. Cut pineapple lengthwise into ¼-inch-thick planks; cut planks into 2-inch pieces. (Store orange rounds and pineapple pieces in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 1 day.)
• To assemble, spread yogurt mixture in a thick layer on a large platter. Arrange fruit over yogurt; drizzle with additional honey. Sprinkle with toasted coconut chips (breaking apart any larger chips), and serve.

AMBROSIA

Steps:

• Remove the skin and membranes from the oranges and slice them in 1/4-inch slices. Place a layer of orange slices in the bottom of a large glass bowl, add a layer of coconut, then a layer of papaya, then blackberries, then starfruit, and then pecans. Repeat the process until all the fruit has been used. If the oranges are not especially sweet, a light layer of blueberry or clover honey will help.
• Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate for an hour or more before serving.

• Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Drop heaping teaspoons of the fruit mixture onto the baking sheet and refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes.
• Roll each truffle into a smooth ball about 3/4-inch in diameter.
• In a saucepan, melt the chocolate morsels. Roll some of the truffles in the remaining 1/4 cup of cocoa and drizzle melted chocolate over the rest. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.

JANSSON'S TEMPTATION (JANSSONS FRESTELSE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Spread onions evenly onto the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Evenly distribute anchovies on top of the onions. Place potatoes on top of the anchovies, then pour in heavy cream. Mix bread crumbs together with the melted butter, then sprinkle overtop of the potatoes.
• Place onto a baking sheet to catch any cream which bubbles over. Bake in preheated oven until the potatoes have softened, the cream has reduced, and the dish has turned deep golden brown, about 45 minutes.
