Orange Liqueur Raspberries
- 2 half pints raspberries
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons orange flavored liqueur
- 8 ounces creme fraiche, to serve
- 6 Cinnamon Elephant Ears (see recipe)
- 1 cup sugar, divided
- Pinch kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 sheet puff pastry, defrosted (recommended: Pepperidge Farm)
- Pour the raspberries in a bowl and add the sugar and orange flavored liqueur.
- Stir lightly.
- Gently mash half the raspberries with a fork.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow to sit for about 1 hour until softened and juicy.
- To serve, fill the bottom half of a stem glass with the raspberries and spoon a dollop of creme fraiche on top, and place a Cinnamon Elephant Ears cookie on top of the creme fraiche.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Combine 1/2 cup of the sugar and kosher salt and pour it over a flat surface such as a wooden board or marble slab.
- Unfold the sheet of puff pastry onto the sugar mixture.
- Combine 12 cup of the sugar and the cinnamon and spread it evenly on the puff pastry.
- This is not about sprinkling, it's about an even covering of sugar.
- With a rolling pin, lightly roll the dough until it's a 13-inch square and the sugar is pressed into the puff pastry on top and bottom.
- Fold the sides of the square toward the center so they go halfway to the middle.
- Fold them again so the two folds meet exactly at the middle of the dough.
- Then fold one half over the other half as though closing a book.
- You will have 6 layers.
- Slice the dough into 38-inch slices and place the slices, cut side up, on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the cookies for 6 minutes, or until caramelized and brown on the bottom, then turn with a spatula and bake for another 3 to 5 minutes, until caramelized on the other side.
- Transfer to a baking rack to cool.
