Grilled Chorizo-Stuffed Hasselback Pineapple
Calling all adventurous grillers: Every forkful of this stuffed and grilled pineapple is sweet, salty and spicy. The teriyaki cucumber salad adds a perfect cooling bite.

Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Main dish
Ingredients
  • 1 ripe pineapple
  • 1½ cups teriyaki sauce, such as Kikkoman® Teriyaki Marinade and Sauce
  • 1 pound bulk fresh chorizo
  • 1 English cucumber, halved and thinly sliced
  • 1 Fresno chile, seeded and thinly sliced
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • Warm cooked rice, for serving
Instructions
  1. Prepare a grill for medium indirect heat: For gas grills (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes, turn off one of the middle burners and turn the remaining burners down to medium. For charcoal grills, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results.)
  2. Slice ½ inch off the bottom of the pineapple to remove the skin and make the bottom flat. Stand the pineapple on a cutting board, holding it from the top, and use a knife to slice away all the skin from the sides. Cut the pineapple in half lengthwise, starting at the crown and going straight down through the core to the bottom. Position one pineapple half core-side down on the cutting board and place a wooden spoon along each long side (this will prevent you from cutting all the way through the pineapple). Make vertical cuts in the pineapple every ¼ inch, stopping when the knife hits the spoons. Repeat with the remaining pineapple half.
  3. Transfer the pineapple halves to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and pour 1 cup of the teriyaki sauce over them. Let sit for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Put a small bowl upside down on a work surface and lay one pineapple half over it, core-side down. Gently press the ends of the pineapple half down towards the work surface so the slits open and fan out a bit. Divide the chorizo in half and stuff each slit with some of the chorizo. Repeat with the remaining pineapple half and chorizo.
  4. Put the pineapple halves core-side down on the indirect-heat side of the grill and cover the grill. Cook until the chorizo is golden brown and the pineapple halves are dark yellow and tender, 25 to 35 minutes. Brush with ¼ cup of the teriyaki sauce and transfer to a cutting board.
  5. Add the cucumber, chile, lime juice, onion and remaining ¼ cup teriyaki sauce to a medium bowl and mix to combine.
  6. Stand up each pineapple half on a cutting board, hold it firmly by the crown and slice down the length into pieces. Serve over rice with the cucumber salad.

  • light blue food coloring

  • white food coloring
Instructions
  1. Prepare the cakes according to the package, or use your favorite cake recipe.
  2. To make the buttercream, mix the butter, vanilla, milk, and powdered sugar in a bowl with a hand mixer.
  3. Once the cakes are baked and cooled, place one cake on a turntable. If you don't have one, you can use a plate. Slice the top off the cakes to create a flat surface.
  4. Place a large dollop of the buttercream on the cake and spread to create an even middle layer of frosting.
  5. Place the second cake over the layer of buttercream.
  6. Frost the entire cake to create the crumb layer, creating a smooth surface.
  7. Place the cake in the freezer to keep cold.
  8. For the glaze, boil the water, sugar, and condensed milk in a pot for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
  9. Bloom the gelatin in 8 cups (2 liters) of cold water for 5 minutes, then wring the gelatin sheets of excess water and mix into the sugar mixture.
  10. Pour the sugar mixture over the chocolate, letting it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to soften.
  11. Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the chocolate and the liquid, making sure that you are not blending in air bubbles by lifting up the blender too high.
  12. Pour the glaze through a sieve into a large bowl to remove any excess bubbles.
  13. Separate the glaze into 5 different bowls (one medium-sized bowl and four smaller bowls).
  14. Color the biggest bowl of glaze with black and navy blue food coloring, stir the coloring with the glaze until the color is distributed evenly.
  15. In the next bowl, add the navy blue food coloring and stir.
  16. In the next bowl, add the lighter blue food coloring and stir.
  17. In the next bowl, add the purple food coloring and stir.
  18. In the next bowl, add the pink food coloring and stir.
  19. When you are ready to use the glaze, make sure each one is around 90-96°F (32-35°C). Microwave if necessary. Pour the colored glazes back into the biggest bowl of black and blue glaze. Swirl them gently with a spoon.
  20. Place the cake on a stand over a sheet tray to catch any excess glaze. Carefully pour the glaze over the cake.
  21. Dip a brush into the white food coloring and fling it onto the cake to create stars.
  22. Enjoy!

Giant Zebra ‘Box’ Cake

Giant Zebra 'Box' Cake
Giant Zebra 'Box' Cake
Author:
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Dessert
Ingredients
FILLING
  • 1 cup whipped cream (60 g)
  • ½ cup marshmallow fluff (25 g)
CAKE
  • 1 yellow cake mix, baked according to package instructions in 2 9-inch (23 cm) cake pans and cooled completely
COATING
  • 2 cups white chocolate chip (350 g)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
ICING
  • ¼ cup dark chocolate chip, melted (45 g)
SPECIAL EQUIPMENT
  • cooling rack, for glazing cake
  • pastry bag
Instructions
  1. Make the filling: In a large bowl, combine the whipped cream and marshmallow fluff. Beat with an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
  2. Use a serrated knife to carefully remove the domed top from the cakes, leaving a flat, even surface. Save the scraps for later – you can eat them with leftover melted chocolate or crumbled over ice cream.
  3. Spread the filling over the bottom cake, leaving about ¾-inch (2 cm) border around the edge. Place the other cake upside down on top of the filling.
  4. Trim the cake into a hexagon. Transfer the cake to a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
  5. Make the coating: Fill a medium saucepan halfway with water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low. Combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a medium heatproof bowl and set it over the pan (make sure the bottom of the bowl isn’t touching the water). When the white chocolate and coconut oil begin to melt, mix together until smooth. Be careful, as the bowl will be very hot.
  6. Pour the melted white chocolate mixture over the cake. Use a knife to spread to the edges and down the sides. Once smooth, run a knife under the edges of the cake so it doesn’t stick to the rack and place the cake in the refrigerator until the coating is set, 10-15 minutes.
  7. Transfer the melted dark chocolate chips to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a corner snipped off. Carefully pipe chocolate zebra stripes onto the cake. Return to the refrigerator to set for 10-15 minutes. Remove the cake once the stripes are dry.
  8. To serve, slowly and carefully slice with a serrated knife so the shell doesn’t crack. Score the slices with a paring knife before cutting to make it easier, if needed.
  9. Enjoy!

  7. Spread the stuffing mixture over the turkey breast in an even layer, about ¼-inch (6 mm) thick. Transfer any extra stuffing to an oven-safe dish.
  8. Starting from a short end, roll the turkey into a log with the skin on the outside. Tuck in any loose bits.
  9. Use kitchen twine to tie the turkey closed crosswise at 1-inch (2-cm) intervals. Tie once lengthwise to seal the ends.
  10. Transfer the trussed turkey to a wire rack set over a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with melted butter and season all sides generously with salt and pepper.

  • 3⁄4 cup brown sugar
  • 1⁄4 cup ​Land O’Lakes Rich & Creamy Heavy Whipping Cream

Make caramel:

  2. Using a silicone spatula, fold a 1⁄4 cup of the caramel into the filling. Take care to slowly fold it in, so that streaks of caramel remain. Drizzle in another tablespoon of caramel and swirl in. Filling should be lightly marbled with caramel. Place filling in freezer for 30 minutes to firm up.
  3. Remove from freezer and use a tablespoon-sized scoop to remove the filling and place on a parchment-lined sheet tray. Freeze bites for at least 2 hours.
  4. Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil together in the microwave. Use 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
