Instructions

  1. 1 Generously butter the bottom and sides of an 11x7-inch glass baking dish and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon powdered sugar.
  2. 2 Add 1/2 cup cold water to the bowl of a stand mixer and add unflavored gelatin. Set aside to soften.
  3. 3 Combine remaining 1/2 cup water, sugar, corn syrup, cherry gelatin, and almond extract in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until sugar and gelatin are dissolved. Heat the mixture to boiling, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer immersed in the mixture reads 240 degrees F (115 degrees C), about 30 minutes. Watch carefully that syrup doesn't boil over; reduce heat if necessary.
  4. 4 Slowly pour syrup into the softened gelatin in the stand mixer bowl. Beat on low speed, then increase to medium-high and beat until marshmallow mixture has tripled in size. Pour into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top using a rubber spatula. Set marshmallow mixture aside and let stand, uncovered, 8 hours to overnight.
  5. 5 Dust a large cutting board with about 1 tablespoon powdered sugar. Loosen sides of marshmallow mixture from the baking dish, lift out onto the cutting board, and rub additional powdered sugar on top. Spray a sharp knife with cooking spray and cut marshmallows into 1-inch squares, 11 rows by 7 rows.
  6. 6 Toss marshmallows in a large bowl with remaining confectioners' sugar. Shake off excess sugar and transfer marshmallows to an airtight container.
  7. 7 Combine cream cheese and peanut butter in a bowl and beat with a hand mixer until smooth, about 1 minute. Stir in marshmallow cream, mashed banana, and vanilla extract and whip until well combined. Transfer to a lidded container and refrigerate until needed.
  8. 8 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  9. 9 Mix 2 cups of flour and powdered sugar together. Cut in butter. Mix well and press the dough into a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  10. 10 Bake crust in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
  11. 11 Beat remaining 1/4 cup flour, eggs, sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest together in a bowl for at least 1 minute. Pour topping over the baked crust.
  12. 12 Return pan to the oven and bake until topping has set, about 20 minutes. Remove and let cool completely.
  13. 13 Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place puff pastry cups on a baking sheet.
  14. 14 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and puffed, about 20 minutes.
  15. 15 Press centers of hot pastry cups down into bottom of cups. Set aside to cool completely.
  16. 16 Use an electric mixer to beat cream cheese and yogurt together in a medium-sized bowl until smooth.
  17. 17 Stir together condensed milk and key lime juice in a bowl. Add to the cream cheese mixture, beating until well combined. Divide mixture in half and tint one portion of filling with green food coloring. Place each portion of filling in a separate resealable plastic bag.
  18. 18 Combine graham cracker crumbs, butter, and sugar in a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of mixture to the bottom of ten 2-ounce shooter glasses. Snip a small corner from each bag of filling. Fill each shooter glass halfway with white filling. Tap each glass on the counter to level the cheesecake. Repeat with green cheesecake mixture. Place filled key lime pie mini desserts in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes.
  19. 19 Cut cooled lemon pie bars and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Fill cooled puff pastry cups with chocolate-hazelnut spread. Top each with a fresh raspberry. Top chilled key lime pie shooters with whipped cream, lime zest, and graham cracker crumbs.
  20. 20 Assemble the dessert board by placing cherry marshmallows around the edge of a large round platter. Alternate lemon pie bars and puff pastry cups inside the circle of marshmallows. Place the key lime mini desserts on the left side of the platter. Place the bowl of marshmallow-peanut butter-banana dip on the right side of the platter, and fill in empty space with grapes, apple slices, and strawberries.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place a large piece of parchment paper over the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Make sure it is taught, then clip on the rim and cut off the excess parchment paper. Grease the sides.
  2. 2 Beat egg yolks, warm water, and sugar for sponge base in a bowl with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy. Mix in vanilla extract.
  3. 3 Mix cake flour and baking powder together in a separate bowl. Sift over egg yolk mixture and fold in thoroughly until no lumps remain.
  4. 4 Beat egg whites and salt in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold into the sponge batter using a spatula. Pour into the prepared pan and even out the surface with a spatula or a large knife.
  5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Let cool in the pan for a few minutes, then remove sponge cake from the pan and carefully peel off parchment. Cool on a wire rack.
  6. 6 Whip heavy cream for filling in a bowl with an electric mixer until stiff. Refrigerate.
  7. 7 Pour water into a small heat-proof bowl and sprinkle gelatin over top. Set aside.
  8. 8 Beat Greek yogurt, sugar, and lemon juice in a separate bowl with an electric mixer until sugar is fully dissolved.
  9. 9 Add water to a small saucepan to a 1-inch depth. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Lower the bowl with the gelatin into the water, making sure no water spills into it. Stir until the gelatin is liquid and fully dissolved. Remove the bowl with the gelatin with kitchen tongs.
  10. 10 Add 1 tablespoon of the yogurt mixture immediately to the gelatin and stir until completely incorporated. Add 4 to 5 more tablespoons the same way until the gelatin mix is cooled; it should be smooth and not contain any lumps. Transfer the gelatin mixture into the yogurt mixture and beat with an electric mixer until well blended.
  11. 11 Fold whipped cream into the yogurt mixture until well blended. You may also give it a quick whisk with an electric mixer to blend the two, as long as you don't overmix.
  12. 12 Cut the sponge cake horizontally into 2 equally thick layers. Grease the sides of the springform pan and place the bottom sponge cake back into it. If the sponge shrunk during baking, push it down gently so it completely fills the pan. Pour the filling into the pan and even it out with a knife or a spatula. Place the second layer on top, with the cut side down. Cover and refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours.
  13. 13 Remove cake from the refrigerator. Dip a large knife in cold water and run it all around the filling to loosen. Carefully remove the rim. Dust with confectioners' sugar just before serving.

  2. 2 Pour ¾ cup lemon juice into a large bowl; sprinkle gelatin evenly on top. Do not stir. Set aside until gelatin forms, about 15 minutes.
  3. 3 Meanwhile, combine 3 cups sugar and remaining ¾ cup lemon juice in a large saucepan over medium heat; attach a candy thermometer to the saucepan and stir until sugar has dissolved, 3 to 5 minutes. Increase heat until mixture reaches a low boil; boil until thermometer reads 240 degrees F (115 degrees C), 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat. (The liquid will bubble a lot; you may need to remove the saucepan from the heat to let the bubbles settle, so you can see if the sugar has melted.)
  4. 4 Slowly pour sugar mixture into gelatin, while beating with an electric mixer on low. Gradually increase speed to medium-high; beat until batter ribbons that drip from beaters take 2 seconds to sink back into the bowl, 10 to 15 minutes. Pour marshmallow batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface with the prepared spatula to flatten. Set marshmallow aside, uncovered, until completely set, 3 hours to overnight.
