RECIPES
Mixing Tips

  • Always read entire recipe and measure all ingredients before beginning the mixing process.
  • For best results, do not measure flour directly from the bag. Pour into a con- tainer or bowl, scoop out the flour and level with the back of a knife or spatula. For flour stored in a container, stir before measuring.
  • Eggs, butter and cream cheese combine more thoroughly at room temperature.
  • Remove butter for recipe first and cut into 1⁄2-inch pieces, then measure out remaining ingredients for recipe. This will hasten the warming process. Do not warm butter for baking in a microwave unless instructed to do so. Microwaving can melt butter; melted butter will change the final product.
  • The best cheesecakes are made when the eggs and cream cheese are at a similar room temperature. While the Cuisinart® Power Advantage™ Hand Mixer can easily mix cold cream cheese, the trick is not to add too much air, which can cause cracking.
  • For best results, use heavy cream, cold from the refrigerator, for whipped cream.
  • For best results, whip egg whites in a spotlessly clean stainless steel or glass mixing bowl. If available, use a copper mixing bowl.
  • Chocolate chips, nuts, raisins, etc. can be added using speeds 1 or 2 of your hand mixer.
  • To separate eggs for any recipe, break one at a time into a small bowl, gently remove yolk, then transfer egg white to spotlessly clean mixing bowl. If a yolk breaks into the egg white, reserve that egg for another use. Just a drop of egg yolk will prevent the whites from whipping properly.
  • To achieve the highest volume of egg whites, the mixing bowl and chef’s whisk attachment or beaters must be spotlessly clean and free of any fat, oil, etc. (Plastic bowls are not recommended for whipping egg whites.) The presence of any trace of fat or oil will prevent the egg whites from increasing in volume. Wash bowl and attachments thoroughly before beginning again.
  • Occasionally ingredients may stick to the sides of the mixing bowl. When this occurs, turn mixer off and scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Note: All recipes are mixed with beaters unless recipe specifies using chef’s whisk.

SUNSHINE CHIFFON CAKE
Chiffon cakes are made with oil rather than butter or shortening, making them moist and light in texture. With flecks of fresh citrus, this one is good on its own, or served with sliced fresh fruit.
Makes 16–20 servings

7 large eggs, separated
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
11⁄2 cups granulated sugar, divided
2 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1⁄4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon finely chopped  lemon zest
1 tablespoon finely chopped orange zest
3⁄4 cup fresh orange juice
1⁄2 cup flavorless vegetable oil (or use a nut oil such as almond or walnut)
11⁄2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract powdered sugar for dusting and/or Orange Apricot

Glaze

Preheat oven to 325°F. Have ready a 10-inch angel food or tube pan (preferably one that is one piece).
Place the egg whites in a large, clean stainless or glass mixing bowl. Using the chef’s whisk on Speed 7, whip egg whites until frothy and foamy, about 30 seconds, then add lemon juice. Continue to whip until thick and opaque, about 3 minutes, adding 1⁄2 cup of the sugar gradually to the egg whites. Continue to whip until stiff and glossy, about 7 minutes total. Reserve.
Place the remaining 1 cup of the sugar, the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Insert beaters. Mix on Speed 1 to blend and aerate, 10 seconds. Place the egg yolks, zests, juice, oil, and extracts in a medium bowl. Mix on Speed 3 for 30 seconds; scrape the bowl. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the liquid/yolk mixture and mix using Speed 3 until batter is smooth, about 1 minute.
Stir 1 cup of the egg whites into the batter using a spatula, then gently fold the remaining egg whites into the batter 1⁄3 at a time. Gently spoon into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean when tested. Invert the pan immediately onto a wire rack and let the cake cool completely in the pan upside down on the rack. This will take about 21⁄2 to 3 hours.
Run a long thin knife around the outer and tube edges of the pan and turn the cake out of the pan onto the rack. Use a long wooden skewer to loosen the cake from the center tube. Remove cake from pan. Wrap in plastic wrap and store at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate up to 4 days. (Cake may be also be double wrapped and frozen – thaw before serving.) Dust with powdered sugar before serving – serve with a drizzle of the Orange Apricot Glaze.

CHOCOLATE MOUSSE CAKE ROLL
Makes 12 servings
For the mousse:

12 ounces semisweet chocolate
21⁄2 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon Kahlua® , or other coffee liqueur

For the cake:

8 ounces semisweet chocolate
1⁄4 cup brewed coffee
6 large eggs
3⁄4 cup granulated sugar
1⁄4 cup unbleached, all-purpose flour

For the whipped cream frosting:

1 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract cooking spray

Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 17x12x1-inch jelly-roll pan with cooking spray. Cut a sheet of parchment 3 inches longer than the length of the pan. Fold parchment to fit width. Line the pan with the parchment so that it comes up the short ends of the pan. Lightly coat parchment with cooking spray.
To prepare the chocolate mousse
Place the chocolate in a stainless mixing bowl. Place 1 cup of heavy cream in a small saucepan and bring to almost a boil and pour over chocolate. Stir until chocolate is completely melted and smooth; allow to cool to room temperature. In a separate mixing bowl, place the remaining 11 ⁄2 cups of heavy cream and the Kahlua® .
Using the chef’s whisk whip the cream using Speed 4 until it holds firm peaks. Remove the chef’s whisk and insert beaters and carefully fold the whipped cream into the chocolate in three additions using the Speed 1 with the beaters. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
To prepare the cake
Melt chocolate and coffee in a double boiler over barely simmering water. Let cool. Separate eggs into 2 separate mixing bowls. Using Speed 4, mix yolks with sugar until the mixture becomes very light and smooth, about 2 minutes. While mixing, add the cooled chocolate mixture in a steady stream and mix until totally incorporated. Use the chef’s whisk to whip egg whites until soft peaks form, about 11⁄2 minutes. Insert the beaters and fold the whites into the chocolate mixture in 3 additions, as with the mousse. Sift flour into bowl and fold gently but quickly until just incorporated. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula to make sure ingredients are well incorporated.
Pour batter into prepared jelly roll pan and bake for 15 minutes; turn off oven and let cake remain in hot oven for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from oven and cover with damp paper towels so the cake will not dry out.
Whipped Cream
Whip the cream, sugar and vanilla in a mixing bowl using the chef’s whisk until soft peaks form, about 11⁄2 minutes.
Spread enough mousse on the cake roll to cover the entire surface area (there may be mousse left over).
Using the parchment on the long side as a guide, roll the cake into a log shape.
Place in the freezer for an hour to firm.
Remove and frost with the whipped cream (using an offset spatula makes this easier). Return cake roll to freezer to become firm. It will be firm enough to serve in about 30 to 60 minutes. This dessert can be served frozen, similar to a frozen mousse or ice cream cake, or refrigerated for a softer mousse feel. Use a serrated knife to slice. May be garnished with fresh berries, whipped cream and chocolate curls.

CHOCOLATE SOUFFLÉ CAK E
Makes one 10-inch round cake; sixteen slices

2 tablespoons unsalted butter plus additional for pan
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate
2 ounces semisweet chocolate
9 large eggs
2 large egg whites
11⁄4 cups granulated sugar, divided
1⁄3 cup unbleached, all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 365°F. Cut a circle of parchment paper to line a 10″ round cake pan. Butter the bottom and sides of cake pan well. Add enough flour to coat the buttered interior, being sure to tap the pan and remove any excess flour. Place the parchment circle at the bottom of the pan and butter and flour it as well.
Melt the butter and chocolates in a stainless bowl over a double boiler, and set aside.
Separate eggs into two mixing bowls, adding the extra whites to the bowl of egg whites. Add 3⁄4 cup of the sugar to the bowl of yolks. Mix the yolks and sugar on Speed 4 for 11⁄2 minutes until very pale and thick; reserve. Using the chef’s whisk, beat the egg whites on Speed 5 for 1 minute; add the remaining 1⁄2 cup of sugar and continue beating whites for an additional 2 minutes until it reaches soft peaks. Remove the chef’s whisk and insert the beaters. Using Speed 1, and reserving about one quarter of the whites, fold whites into the yolk mixture in three additions. Scrape the bottom and sides of bowl to make certain the mixture is evenly blended. Sift in the flour into mixture and fold gently. Finally add the last of the egg whites again using the same folding technique. To  ensure complete incorporation, use a rubber spatula to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl.
Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake in the preheated 365°F oven for about 40 minutes, until cake has puffed and cracked but is still soft to the touch on top.
Turn cake out onto serving plate and remove pan. Sprinkle the top with sifted confectioners’ sugar. Serve immediately or at room temperature.

TIRAMISÙ
Makes one 9-inch square pan, 12 servings
For champagne sabayon:

3 egg yolks
1⁄2 cup granulated sugar
1⁄2 cup champagne
8 ounces mascarpone
3⁄4 cup heavy cream
1⁄4 cup plus 31⁄2 tablespoons Kahlua ® or coffee liqueur
1⁄4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 cup espresso or strongly brewed coffee
1 recipe génoise (recipe follows)*
3 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, made into chocolate curls (with vegetable

peeler)

To make sabayon:
Place egg yolks and sugar in mixing bowl. Using beater attachment mix yolks and sugar until pale and thick on Speed 4. Place bowl over warm water bath to resemble double boiler. Using the chef’s whisk attachment, beat the yolk mixture on Speed 2 or 3. Add champagne after 11⁄2 minutes. Continue beating for as long as 8 minutes, until the mixture has tripled in volume and it is too warm to submerge your finger. Remove bowl from heat and continue beating an additional 30 seconds to cool slightly; set aside.
In two separate mixing bowls, place the mascarpone and heavy cream. With the beaters, mix the mascarpone until smooth.
Fold the mascarpone into the yolk mixture using the lowest speed. Using the whisk attachment, beat the heavy cream on Speed 5. After 1 minute add 11⁄2 tablespoons of Kahlua® and vanilla. Continue beating until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes total.
Fold the whipped cream into the yolk and mascarpone mixture. You should have about 31⁄2 cups of filling. Fill a shallow dish with remaining Kahlua ® and the coffee.
Slice the génoise into1⁄2-inch strips. Soak the cake pieces in coffee until saturated. Use soaked cake to line the bottom of a 9-inch square pan. Cover with half of the filling and then chocolate curls. Continue with another layer of soaked cake, the remaining filling and then finally cover with the remaining chocolate curls. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours before serving.
After removing sabayon from heat, transfer to a bowl and allow to cool. Cover and place in the refrigerator until completely chilled. Fold in 1⁄2 to 3⁄4 cups whipped cream and serve.
Note: The sabayon is wonderful on its own with berries for a simple dessert.

8 baking potatoes (8 ounces each), scrubbed
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup chopped onion (about 3 ounces)
1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1⁄4 teaspoon freshly grated black pepper,divided
1 cup part skim ricotta
1 cup shredded provolone (4 ounces)
1⁄2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon Italian herb blend

Preheat oven to 400ºF. Pierce each potato several times with a fork or a knife tip; rub each potato with 1⁄4 teaspoon of the olive oil. Bake the potatoes in preheated oven until fork-tender, about 1 hour. While potatoes are baking, prepare onion mixture, (below). Remove potatoes from oven and place on a rack until cool enough to handle. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F.
Onion Mixture: Melt butter over medium heat in an 8-inch skillet, add chopped onions and sauté until softened, 10 minutes. Season with 1⁄4 teaspoon salt and 1⁄8 teaspoon pepper. Reduce heat to low and cook for 30 to 40 minutes, or until nicely browned and caramelized. Reserve.
When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut off the top third of each potato and scoop all the flesh from tops. Scoop out bottoms leaving a 1⁄4-inch shell, reserving potato skin shells. Place the potato pulp in a large mixing bowl.
Using Speed 3, add ricotta to potatoes and mix for 1 minute. Add onions, mix on Speed 2 for 1 to 2 minutes or until well mixed. Add provolone, Parmesan, Italian herb blend, remaining salt and pepper, and mix 30 seconds on Speed 1 or until incorporated.
Divide the mixture among the reserved potato shells. Potatoes may be made up to this point, covered and refrigerated until ready to bake.
Arrange the potatoes on a jelly-roll pan that has been lined with aluminum foil. Bake uncovered, until potatoes are hot and tops are golden brown and puffed, about 30 to 35 minutes (add 5 to 10 minutes for cold potatoes). Serve hot.

11⁄2 cups milk
1 cup Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1⁄4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1⁄2 cup shredded mozzerella

Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter an eight-cup soufflé dish well and coat with toasted ground walnuts; set aside.
Beat egg yolks using Speed 1 for 30 seconds; reserve.
Melt butter in a saucepan. Add flour and stir with a wooden spoon until smooth and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Mix on Speed 1 while adding the milk, about 11⁄2 minutes, beat- ing until smooth. Cook slowly allowing the mixture to thicken, while mixing on Speed 2 until the mixture becomes smooth and thick, approximately 5 minutes total. Add Gorgonzola and mozzarella and stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat. While mixing egg yolks on Speed 1, spoon a small amount of hot cheese mixture into the yolks and mix until smooth. Continue adding the warm cheese mixture slowly to the yolks, while mixing (the mozzarella will be stringy).
Using chef’s whisk, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form, about 1 1⁄2 minutes on Speed 5.
Fold the whites into the yolk/cheese
mixture in three additions with the beater attachment set to the lowest speed.
Pour into prepared soufflé dish and bake in the middle of oven until puffed over the rim of soufflé dish and golden, approximately 40 to 45 minutes. Serve immediately.

SOUFFLÉ ROLL WITH CHICKENAND SPINACH FILLING
Although this recipe may be slightly timeconsuming, the results  are well worth it fora perfect luncheon or brunch dish.
Makes 12 servings

4 cooking spray  tablespoons unsalted butter
1⁄2 cup unbleached, all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
5 large eggs, separated
1⁄2 teaspoon salt white pepper
1 recipe Chicken and Spinach Filling (follows)

Preheat oven to 400°F. Prepare jelly-roll pan by spraying the pan and dusting with flour to cover surface, discarding any excess. Line with a sheet of parchment paper.
Melt butter over medium low heat in a 23⁄4-quart saucepan. Add flour and stir with a wooden spoon, creating a roux – do not brown. Mix on Speed 1 while adding the milk in a stream. Mix until smooth and blended, about 30 seconds. Stir in salt and pepper. Let the mixture warm slowly, allowing it to thicken, about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. This makes a béchamel sauce.
While the béchamel is thickening, mix the yolks in a mixing bowl until smooth. Return the beaters to the béchamel on the stove and mix for about 2 minutes until the mixture is very thick and smooth. Very carefully, spoon about 1 ⁄2 cup of the bécha- mel into the yolks while mixing so that they will be tempered (this will keep them from curdling when added to the hot sauce).Continue adding the béchamel in small additions to the yolks until the mixture is fully incorporated.
Using the chef’s whisk beat the egg whites until soft peaks form, using Speed 5 for 11⁄2 minutes.
Fold the whites carefully into yolk mixture in 3 additions using the beaters on the Speed 1, taking care to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl. Finally, use a rubber spatula to incorporate the mixture fully (scraping sides and bottom of bowl). Pour batter into prepared jelly-roll pan and gently spread evenly in the pan.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the soufflé roll is evenly browned. Remove from oven and cover with wet paper towels to keep moist until you are ready to fill and roll.
To finish soufflé roll:
With a rubber spatula spread the filling so that the surface area is evenly covered.  Using the parchment as a guide, roll the soufflé lengthwise to resemble a log. Serve immediately or wrap and refrigerate.
Before serving, wrap in buttered aluminum and warm slowly at 350°F for 20 minutes.

This warranty excludes all incidental or consequential damages. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of these damages, so they may not apply to you.
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY:
California law provides that for In-Warranty Service, California residents have the option of returning a nonconforming product (A) to the store where it was purchased or (B) to another retail store which sells Cuisinart products of the same type.
The retail store shall then, at its discretion, either repair the product, refer the consumer to an independent repair facility, replace the product, or refund the purchase price less the amount directly attributable to the consumer’s prior usage of the product. If the  above two options do not result in the appropriate relief to the consumer, the consumer may then take the product to an independent repair facility if service or repair can be economically accomplished. Cuisinart and not the consumer will be responsible for the reasonable cost of such service, repair, replacement, or refund for nonconforming products under warranty.
California residents may also, according to their preference, return nonconforming products directly to Cuisinart for repair, or if necessary, replacement, by calling our  Consumer Service Center toll-free at 1-800-726-0190.
