Dried Cherry and Chocolate Rugalach |
|
|
| Ingredients: |
- DOUGH
- 4 oz Cream cheese; at room temperature
- 4 oz (1 stock) butter; at room temperature
- 1 Tbs Sour cream or plain yogurt
- 1 1/4 cup Flour
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- FILLING
- 3 oz Pitted dried cherries
- 1 cup Walnuts
- 3 Tbs Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1 oz Bittersweet chocolate; cut into small pieces
- 4 tsp Cherry jam
- Confectioners sugar
|
| Directions: |
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a food processor or with a hand-held electric mixer, combine the cream cheese, butter, and sour cream until smooth. Add the flour and salt and process until a dough forms. Divide the dough in half and form two 5-inch disks. Wrap them in plastic and refrigerate while making the filling.
- Place all of the filling ingredients except the jam in a food processor and process until finely chopped. (The mixture will form a paste.) Remove the dough from the refrigerator. On a floured surface, roll each disk into a 9-inch circle. Spread each circle with 2 teaspoons of jam. Pat half the cherry mixture onto each circle. With a pastry wheel or pizza cutter, cut each circle into twelve wedges. Starting at the wide end, roll each wedge up and place it, point-side down, on a cookie sheet.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool on a cake rack and dust with confectioners' sugar.
