TIRAMISU RECIPE:INGREDIENTS1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream8 ounce container or one cup mascarpone cheese (room temperature)1/3 cup granulated sugar1 teaspoon vanilla extract1 cup cold brew3 Tablespoons coffee flavored liqueur (Kahlua)1 package Biscoff cookies (or ladyfingers for the traditionalists!)2 Coolhaus Best of Both Worlds Vanilla pints or Coolhaus pint of preference, softened to spreadable textureCocoa powder for dusting the topRECIPEAdd heavy whipping cream to a mixing bowl and beat on medium speed with an electric mixer (or hand mixer). Slowly add sugar and vanilla and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Add mascarpone cheese and mix just until combined. Set aside in fridge.Add coffee and liqueur to a shallow bowl. Dip the cookies in the coffee (Don’t soak them – just quickly dip them on both sides to get them wet) and lay them in a single layer on the bottom of an 8×8” or similar size pan.Smooth the softened Coolhaus ice cream over the top. Add another layer of dipped cookies. Smooth the mascarpone whipped cream cream mixture over the top. Line the sides with any remaining cookies.Dust cocoa powder generously over the top (scoop the powder in a spoon and use a fine mesh strainer to set on top of the cake).

Poblano Quesadillas
Serves 6
1 1/2 cups grated Mexican manchego cheese1 cup grated panela cheese1/2 cup grated cotija cheese6 Flour Tortillas1/3 cup Salsa, for serving4 poblano chiles, roasted, peeled, seeded, and diced*, any pepper can be used2 tablespoons unsalted butter, meltedBorder Guacamole (see recipe below), for servingSour cream, for servingIn a bowl, mix together cheeses.Lay the flour tortillas on a counter. Divide the cheese mix into 6 equal portions and spread over half of each Flour Tortilla. Sprinkle about a tablespoon of Chipotle Salsa over each. Arrange the diced poblanos evenly over the cheese. Fold the tortillas over to enclose the filling and brush the tops with butter.Place a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. One at a time, cook the tortillas buttered side down in the pan until lightly golden, about 3 to 4 minutes. Then brush the uncoated side with butter and flip over. Continue to cook until the other side of the tortilla is lightly golden and the cheese begins to ooze. Serve hot, whole or cut into wedges, with Chipotle Salsa, Border Guacamole, and sour cream.** Fresh chiles can be roasted over a gas flame or under the broiler. Keep turning so skin is evenly charred, without burning the flesh. Transfer charred chiles to a closed plastic bag and steam 10 to 15 minutes. Pull off charred skin by hand and dip briefly in water to remove blackened bits. Once peeled, cut away stems, seeds, and veins.

Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake
Equipment:
Mixing Bowls
Blender
Half Sheet Tray
4-ounce Ramekins
Rubber Spatula
Saucepot
Makes 12 Individual Cakes
Date Cake
1 1/2 cups chopped pitted dates (Medjool is my preference)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 ¼ cups water
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Toffee Sauce
1 ½ cups dark brown sugar
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cubed
¾ cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup crème fraiche
Whipped Crème Fraiche
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup crème fraiche
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1. Prepare the Cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat 4-ounce ramekins with nonstick spray, set aside. In a saucepan, cover the dates with 1 cup of water; bring to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the baking soda; don’t be frightened, it will foam up. With a handheld blender, process the date mixture until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
2. In a medium bowl, sift the flour with the baking powder and salt. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter with the granulated sugar at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. In 2 alternating batches, beat in the dry ingredients and the date mixture until just incorporated. Scrape the batter into the prepared ramekins and bake for 12-16 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the ramekins for 10 minutes.
3. Prepare the Sauce: In a medium saucepan, bring the brown sugar, butter, and heavy cream to a boil over moderate heat, whisking to dissolve the sugar. Simmer over moderately low heat, whisking, for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, whisk in the vanilla, salt, and crème fraiche. Keep warm.
4. To Finish the Sticky Toffee Pudding Cakes: Turn the cakes out onto a rack. Carefully return the cake, top side down, to the serving plate. Pour 1 cup of the warm toffee sauce over the cake. Serve with a dollop of whipped crème fraiche while the cake is still warm.
