Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place sugar in a bowl.
  2. 2 Place flour in a large mixing bowl. Begin working butter into flour slowly until fully incorporated. Repeat process gradually with cream cheese, kneading dough until uniform and no longer crumbly. Form into 1 inch balls, then flatten with a rolling pin to a thickness of 1/8 inch. (This may also be done by rolling out the entire amount of dough and cutting rounds with a biscuit cutter.)
  3. 3 Place 1 tablespoon preserves on each dough center. Fold over, and seal with fingers or press to seal with a fork. Place cookies on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet.
  4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 12 to 15 minutes. Cookie will remain white and should not be browned, and it is normal for some filling to leak from the cookie. When cookies are cool enough to handle, roll in sugar until evenly coated. Transfer to a platter to cool completely.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C), if recommended by manufacturer.
  2. 2 Combine olive oil, pineapple preserves, garlic granules, cayenne, salt, and white pepper in a large mixing bowl; stir to combine.
  3. 3 Place sweet potato pieces into the mixing bowl and toss with the pineapple preserves mixture. Remove sweet potatoes to a plate, reserving the remaining pineapple mixture.
  4. 4 Pat tenderloins dry with paper towels. Place in the mixing bowl with the remaining pineapple mixture and toss to coat.
  5. 5 Brush interior basket of the air fryer with the remaining olive oil. Place tenderloins in the basket, and in a single layer, add as many sweet potato pieces as will fit around the tenderloins. Set aside extra sweet potato pieces. You will cook them as a second batch.
  6. 6 Air fry for 10 minutes. Turn tenderloins over, browned side down. Stir sweet potatoes, but keep them in a single layer. Air fry until pork loin is slightly pink in the center, about 10 minutes longer. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). If the tenderloins need more cooking time, turn them again and continue cooking and testing the temperature in 5 minute increments.
  7. 7 Remove sweet potatoes from the air fryer when they are tender and caramelized. (See Cook's Note).
  8. 8 When the tenderloins test done, place them on a platter and tent with foil. Allow to rest while the remaining sweet potatoes cook, about 10 more minutes.

Instructions

  1. 1 Combine butter and cream cheese for crust in a mixing bowl and mix until smooth. Gradually stir in flour and salt until well blended. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
  2. 2 Remove dough from the refrigerator and place on a floured surface. Divide dough evenly into 24 pieces; shape each piece into a ball.
  3. 3 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 24-cup mini-muffin tin with cooking spray.
  4. 4 While the oven is preheating, press dough onto the bottoms and up the sides of the greased muffin cups. Place the pan on a cookie sheet and set aside.
  5. 5 Combine milk, cream, and salt for filling in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture begins to bubble around the edges of the pan and wisps of steam are visible, about 3 minutes.
  6. 6 Stir sugar and egg together in a bowl. Pour 1/4 of the hot milk mixture into the bowl and stir until well combined. Pour the egg mixture into the saucepan and continue to cook and stir until mixture is bubbling and has thickened slightly, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla. Spoon about 1 tablespoon filling into each muffin cup.
  7. 7 Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Lower the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking until filling is set, about 15 more minutes. Remove from the oven and set on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes. Remove tarts from the pan and place directly on the wire rack; let cool for 20 minutes.
  8. 8 Place 1 teaspoon raspberry preserves on top of 8 tarts, then top each with a raspberry. Make remaining tarts by topping 8 with blueberry preserves and blueberries, and the remaining 8 with pineapple preserves and banana slices. Serve at room temperature.

Instructions

  1. 1 Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9-inch square metal baking pan with cooking spray. Fold a 17-inch length of heavy-duty foil to 8 1/2 inches wide and fit in the pan bottom and up 2 sides, so you can use the foil overhang as a handle to pull the baked cake from the pan.
  2. 2 Topping: Use hands to thoroughly mix ingredients in a medium bowl, pressing together to form large clumps; set aside.
  3. 3 Cream cheese filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until thoroughly mixed. Beat in egg and vanilla until smooth; set aside.
  4. 4 Cake: Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
  5. 5 Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer set on medium-high until light and fluffy. Beat in egg until smooth. Beat in half the dry ingredients, then the remaining yogurt. Beat until ingredients are fully incorporated.
  6. 6 Spread batter evenly over prepared pan. Spread cream cheese filling over batter. Dollop fruit filling (or sprinkle chocolate chips) over cream cheese filling. Finally, sprinkle evenly with crumble topping, pressing on it lightly to adhere.
  7. 7 Bake until batter is fully set and topping is golden brown, about 45 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes. Run a thin-bladed knife around the sides, then use foil handles to pull cake from pan onto the wire rack. Cool to room temperature and serve. Can be covered with foil and stored at room temperature for one day.
