Making a cake or pie with fruit juices?

[jpinmaryland]

got some extra pineapple and some pear juice. I wanted to make somethign w/o the fruit chunks but with the juice alone. Using sugar, flour, milk etc of course. You know I thought there was like broken glass cake or something like that out there but I didnt find it in a quick search. Can you make like a flan or somethign out of these? tx

Yo can probably make frosting using the juices.

Hmmm, I think it might be tough to do with pineapple juice. I would maybe look at adding it to a cake instead of water.

Bake a sheet cake....poke holes in cake...pour in a mixture of Rum and pineapple juice...Ice with 10X sugar icing....use pineapple juice and rum to make icing....Top with fresh toasted coconut!

Fun!

Holy crap, pina colada cake! I have the perfect cake for that too! Its a white velvet cake and its nice and dense and durable. MMMMMMMMM! UB, you're my hero.

 

[Uncle Bob]

Yep...You're smarter than the average bear Miss Alix!!

Could I not do like the recipe for Key Lime pie and just use like pineapple juice?

Is there a recipe for broken glass cake? What about like Zabaglione, that stuff from Italy?

Hmm. The possibilities, I made pumpkin cheesecake last night, its pretty good.

The recipe I use for Zabiglione is usually...

1 cup sugar (this is a lot -- it sweetens some mascarpone, though)
5 egg yolks
1/2 cup Marsala wine

Whisk all together over a double boiler/on very low heat until fluffy, etc... (those instructions aren't very detailed -- you can probably find better ones.

You could definitely sub the juice for the wine, just reduce the sugar. You could then drizzle over berries and chill, or you could fold in whipped cream and just have that. Sounds good!

How do you make the Key Lime pie?

How do you make the Key Lime pie?

Key lime pie is made with key lime juice, and zest, eggs, sugar, and a pie crust. It's basically a baked custard in a crust. It's similar to lemon curd, but stiffer.

Pear, pineapple, apple, jsut about any fruit juice would work, I think. However, if you used orange juice, it would have to be pulp-free. Just remember to make the liquid strong as it will be diluted by the egg.

Yes, and fruit juices are wonderful when mixed with unflavored gelatine, and then poured over a cake and chilled. Surprisingly, the gelatine won't set, but adds its fruity flavor and exceptional moisture to the cake. The cake must be chilled for a couple hours before serving. Hint: This also works with crushed fruit that's been blended with sugar.

Another idea you can use is to use the fruit juice to mix with crustless bread, or pound or short cake to make a pudding. The mixture must be wet enough to soften the bread, but not so much so as to make it liquid.

Just a few ideas for you from ol' G.W.

I would up making the pineaple juice in the fashion of key lime pie and it worked out reasonably well for a first time. I used sweetened condensed milk instead of plain sugar in the above recipe.

Here is a link to a recipe for Broken Glass. I used to make this a lot in my younger days!

These one even calls for pineapple juice!

No problem, Mollyanne! I took the lazy person's way out with a link! And your picture looks nicer than the one on my link!

You could make it and invite Mollyanne and I over for dessert. We would be happy to eat your wife's portion!

Oh thanks for that recipe I was in the back of my mind but I never got around to searching for it. I go through a lot of juice as my dad and daughter both love eating canned pineapples, oranges etc. It's easy for me as a single parent/elder, maybe not the best. Anyhow something to do with the excess. tx.

I wound up making the pineapple with the key lime recipe. It turned out pretty good I think there is sort of an aftertaste with pineapple from the can that I can taste although I dont think my daughter noticed (she's never had the real fresh stuff which I had in Hawaii). I was wondering how you would go about covering that up? LIke with more sugar or more spices? Or something else like cream?
