Pink Ladies Recipes

PINK LADIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8 inch square baking pan. In a medium bowl, stir together flour, white sugar, and cocoa powder. Cut in butter until the texture is mealy. Pat into the bottom of the prepared pan.
• Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips. Cook, stirring frequently until chips are melted and the mixture is smooth. Pour over the baked crust.
• Return to the oven, and bake for 15 minutes. Remove, and cool in the pan over a wire rack.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the confectioners' sugar, butter, and cherry juice. Spread over the cooled filling in the pan. Melt semisweet chocolate in a small glass dish in the microwave, or in a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Place in a plastic bag or piping bag, cut the tip to 1/8 inch, and drizzle the chocolate over the bars in a back and forth motion to make stripes. Cool completely before cutting into squares.

PINK LADY COCKTAIL

Steps:

• Pour the egg white, grenadine syrup, half-and-half, and gin into a cocktail shaker over ice. Cover, and shake like crazy until the outside of the shaker has frosted. Strain into a chilled glass to serve.

PINK LADY SQUARES

Steps:

• BASE: In large bowl mix graham wafer crumbs, butter and flour and press into a greased 9x9 inch pan.
• Bake at 275 degrees five minutes, take out of oven and cool.
• TOPPING: Mix the Eaglebrand condensed milk, coconut and pecans and spread over base.
• Bake at 325 for 20 to 25 minute (ovens may vary) being careful not to over bake.
• Cool and ice with Lemon Icing.
• Lemon Icing: In medium bowl beat together the butter, cream and lemon juice.
• Add in the icing sugar, adding more if needed for desired consistency and add just a small amount of food coloring to make for pale pink.

PINK LADY

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously. Strain into a cocktail glass. Alternatively, omit Calvados or applejack and reduce lemon juice to 1 1/2 tablespoons.

PINK PARTY SQUARES

Steps:

• Layer 1:.
• In a double boiler (or a metal bowl over a pot of boiling water, as I do) add; 1/2 cup butter, 1 cup brown sugar and 1 egg (well beaten). Stir constantly until smooth and shiny. Remove from heat and add 2 cups graham crumbs. Pack into 9x9 pan.
• Layer 2:.
• Stir together 3/4 of a can of sweetened condensed milk and 8 ounces coconut. Spread on graham layer.
• Icing:.
• Combine 1/4 cup butter with 2 cups icing sugar and 1 tbsp milk. Add a few drops of red food coloring, until a nice pink shade is reached, and stir until smooth. Spread on top of coconut layer.
• Refrigerate at least 3 hours.

PINK LADY COCKTAIL

Steps:

• Put two coupe or cocktail glasses in the fridge to chill. Pour the gin and grenadine into a cocktail shaker, then fill with ice. Shake until the outside of the shaker feels ice-cold. Strain the mixture into a jug, discarding the ice.
• Tip the egg white into the shaker and pour in the gin mixture. Shake well until the egg white is frothy - you can also do this in a food processor or using a hand blender, if you like. Pour the cocktail into the prepared glasses. Skewer the cherries onto cocktail sticks, if using, then use to garnish the glasses along with the pared lemon zest, if you like.
