Christmas Leftover Recipe From The Best Christmas Blog Day 3

As the title says this is day three of the Christmas Leftovers week. Today here at The Best Christmas Blog, I want to bring you a dessert recipe. Cranberry sauce is like a Christmas tradition so I’m sure many of you had cranberry sauce at your Christmas dinners and may have some leftover.

Well here’s a recipe that will allow you to use up that leftover cranberry sauce. It is for Cranberry Brownie Pie. Hope you like it.

Ingredients:

* 4 (1 oz.) squares unsweetened chocolate
* 2/3 cup butter (1 stick plus 2 Tbsp.)
* 2 cups sugar
* 4 eggs
* 1-1/4 cups flour
* 1 tsp. baking powder
* 1/2 tsp. salt
* 3/4 cup heavy cream, whipped
* 3 Tbsp. powdered sugar
* 1 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
* 1/2 cup chopped pecans
* 1/3 cup hot fudge sauce

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 10" springform pan and an 8x8" square pan and set aside. Melt unsweetened chocolate and butter together in a heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently until blended and smooth. Remove from heat; beat in the sugar and eggs until smooth. Add flour, baking powder and salt and mix well.

Spread half of the batter in a greased 10" springform pan, and the other in a greased 8x8" square pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes, until just set. Don't overbake these! If they are underbaked a bit, that's just fine. The springform pan brownies will probably bake faster than the square pan brownies because they will be thinner, so check frequently. Cool both completely.

Cut the brownies in the 8" square pan into cubes. In large bowl, beat cream with powdered sugar until stiff; fold in cranberry sauce. Spoon half of this mixture over the springform pan brownies. Top with half of the brownie cubes and half of the pecans. Repeat layers. Drizzle with hot fudge sauce. Chill for a few hours in the refrigerator, then cut into wedges. 12 servings

A Christmas Leftover Recipe From The Best Christmas Blog

Well Christmas is finally over and here at The Best Christmas Blog there is hope that you enjoyed having your friends and family over. You fixed a lot of food and not all of it was eaten so it looks like there will be some leftovers for a while. You could just heat them up and serve them to the family as is or you could do something different with those leftovers.

If you have leftover ham here’s a recipe that will delight your family. It’s a Ham Filo Roll.

Ingredients:

* 2 Tbsp. olive oil
* 1 onion, chopped
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 cup basmati rice, uncooked
* 2 cups chicken broth
* 1 cup cubed cooked ham
* 1/2 cup bottled Alfredo sauce
* 1 cup frozen baby peas, thawed OR chopped leftover asparagus
* 1/3 cup butter, melted
* 16 (9" x 14") sheets frozen filo dough, thawed
* 1-1/2 cups shredded Havarti cheese, divided

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cook onion and garlic in the olive oil until tender. Add rice and stir to coat. Add the chicken broth, cover pan and simmer for 15-20 minutes until rice is tender. Stir in ham, Alfredo sauce, 1/2 cup of the cheese, and asparagus or peas. Set aside.

Place one filo sheet on a cookie sheet and brush with butter. Layer seven more filo over the first sheet, brushing each with butter. Spread half of the rice and ham mixture over one-third of the stacked filo on the 14" side, leaving a 1 inch border on three sides. Cover with the half of the remaining cheese.

Begin to roll up the filo, starting with the long end. You'll only be able to roll the dough over one and a half times; that's okay. Using two spatulas, place on a RIMMED cookie sheet (the butter will melt and make a mess in your oven if you don't used a rimmed sheet). Brush with butter and cut a few slits in the filo roll. Repeat with remaining filo, butter, and filling to make two rolls.

At this point you can cover the rolls tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 8 hours. Add another 8-13 minutes to the baking time if the rolls are baked directly from the refrigerator.

Bake for 25 to 35 minutes until the rolls are browned and crisp. Let it stand for 10 minutes before cutting each roll into thirds for serving. The filling is hot! Serves 4-6
