30 min

Instructions

  1. 1 Pour milk into a large pot, then stir in salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent milk from scorching on the bottom of the pot.
  2. 2 When milk begins to boil (small bubbles will first appear at the edges), turn off the heat. Stir in lemon juice. Milk will curdle; you may need to wait 5 to 10 minutes.
  3. 3 Line a sieve or colander with a cheesecloth. Pour milk through the cloth to catch the curds. Gather cheesecloth around the cheese and squeeze out as much liquid (whey) as you can. What is left in the cheesecloth is farmer's cheese. Use the whey for another use (some people drink it), or discard. Wrap cheese in plastic or place in an airtight container.

  4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven until crust is firm, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool.
  5. 5 Meanwhile, beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until foamy. Gradually add sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.

Gently fold egg whites into the cream cheese mixture. Add food coloring until mixture is the desired shade of pink. Pour into the prepared pie crust.
  7. 7 Bake in the preheated oven until set in the center, 25 to 30 minutes. Set the pan on a wire rack, and allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature, about 1 hour. Refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 2 hours.
  8. 8 Cover with the sliced strawberries. Chill 1 more hour before serving.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place 12 standard-size silicone muffin cups on a baking sheet or line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. 2 With a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the flour(s), sugars, butter, vanilla, and lemon together on medium-low speed until a cohesive dough forms.
  3. 3 Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place in the muffin cups. With the back of a spoon, press the balls into the bottom of each cup to form a disk.
  4. 4 Bake for 10-12 minutes, just until the crust is matte (no longer shiny and raw-looking) on top--it will still be puffy and soft. Remove from the oven and cool while you make the filling.
  5. 5 With an electric hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese, goat cheese, sugar, flour, egg, applesauce, and lemon zest and juice together on medium-low speed.
  6. 6 Spoon the filling on top of the crust in each cup, dividing it evenly and filling each cup to the brim.
  7. 7 Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly browned. Transfer to a wire cooling rack and cool completely before serving.

Reduce heat to medium and simmer until only about 1 tablespoon liquid remain, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in cream and simmer until mixture is reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and rapidly whisk in butter pieces, one at a time, until beurre blanc is smooth and thickened. Strain beurre blanc through a mesh strainer to remove spices.
  3. 3 Make lemon sauce: Stir lemon juice into beurre blanc until lemon sauce is evenly mixed; fold in parsley.

  2. 2 Place remaining marinade in a zip-top bag and add chicken. Marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours, or overnight.

  6. 6 Cook on the preheated grill, turning every few minutes and drizzling any remaining sauce from the bag over top, until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  7. 7 About 10 minutes before the skewers are done, mix cold water and cornstarch in a small bowl. Put the 1/4 cup reserved marinade in a small saucepan over medium heat. When hot, add cornstarch-water mixture and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens, 7 to 8 minutes.
