Katie Quinn defies the rules and makes an irresistible, buttery dessert gnocchi with Speculoos cookies. Nothing short of genius indeed! Check out Katie's friend Clotilde's site (who created this recipe): http://chocolateandzucchini.com/Clotilde's version of the recipe: http://taste.md/201sgDNSubscribe to Katie's channel: http://taste.md/1Pc96ViINGREDIENTS 50 grams (1 3/4 ounces) Speculoos cookies (you can substitute with graham crackers, ginger snaps, or other such crispy, spice-rich cookie)30 grams unrefined cane sugar1/4 teaspoon salt1 large egg30 grams (2 tablespoons) crème fraîche or mascarpone cheese90 grams (3/4 cup) all-purpose flour2 teaspoons unsalted butterTo serve:CinnamonCrème fraîche or vanilla ice creamRECIPE Grind the speculoos finely in a food processor, or just put the cookies in a freezer bag and run a rolling pin over them until finely ground. You should get about 1/2 cup of crumbs.In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crumbs with the sugar and salt. Add the egg and crème fraîche, and whisk together well.Add the flour and blend it in with a fork; the batter will be thick.Pour the batter into a pastry bag with a straight 1-cm (1/3-inch) tip, or a thick freezer bag on which you'll snip a 1-cm (1/3-inch) opening in one corner. This can be prepared up to a day ahead; keep refrigerated.Bring water to a simmer in a wide saucepan. Squeeze the pastry bag gently over the simmering water and, using a paring knife, cut off little logs of dough so they'll fall into the simmering water as you go. Be careful not to burn yourself.As the gnocchi fall into the water, some will stick to the bottom of the pan. Nudge them gently with the knife to loosen.Cook the gnocchi for about 4 minutes; they're ready about 2 minutes after they've bobbed up to the surface.Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and drain thoroughly in a colander.Melt the butter in a skillet. Add in the gnocchi and sauté for a few minutes, tossing the gnocchi every minute or so, until golden all over.Divide among 4 bowls, add a dollop of crème fraîche to each bowl, and grate a little fresh cinnamon on top. Serve warm.___Follow us!
