Once – and only once – PC® Test Kitchen Chef Amanda Barnier showed up to a potluck with the same dessert as someone else, and she vowed it would never happen again. “It’s awkward,” she says. “I prefer to avoid the ‘who-made-it-best’ scenario by adding a little something special to my desserts.” A generous sprinkling of savoury-sweet PC® Turmeric-Seasoned Mixed Nuts are exactly what these trendy squares need to make a statement.

How to make

Ingredients

  • 1 recipeBasic Cookie Dough, room temperature (see recipe, Basic Cookie Dough)
  • 2 bars (100 g each)white chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL)PC® Turmeric-Seasoned Mixed Nuts
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL)PC® Tart Montmorency Cherries Whole Sweetened Dried Fruit, roughly chopped
  • 3 tbsp (45 mL)crystallized ginger, chopped

How to make

  • Step 1Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Line 8-inch 15(2 L) square metal baking pan with parchment paper, leaving 1-inch (2.5 cm) overhang on 2 opposite sides. Press cookie dough into bottom of pan to make crust.
  • Step 2Bake until centre appears dry and light golden, 17 to 19 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Step 3Place chocolate in microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth, about 1 minute total. Pour over top of cooled crust, spreading evenly to cover surface.
  • Step 4Sprinkle with nuts, cherries and ginger. Refrigerate until chocolate is set, about 10 minutes. Using parchment, lift out onto cutting board and cut into 16 squares.
  • Try this: Swap out the dried cherries for any dried fruit, such as dried apricots, blueberries or pears.
