JELLO BUNDT MOLD RECIPES

Steps:

• Dissolve the gelatin in 2 cups boiling water, about 2 minutes. Vigorously whisk in the cream cheese until well blended. Small pieces may remain. Mix in the crushed pineapple (along with the juices) and 1/2 cup cold water. Pour into desired serving dish. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours, or until set. Garnish with pecans, if desired.  

Steps:

• In a medium-sized skillet, add the sofrito, salt, bell pepper and sauté for a few minutes. Then add the ground beef and stir to evenly break-up the meat. Let cook until the beef is no longer pink and remove from heat. Set aside and let cool.
• Next peel the plantains and the yautía. Use a food processor to grate these ingredients, then mix until a smooth dough forms. Last, add in the seasoning and salt to the dough.
• Over a piece of aluminum foil or parchment paper paper, add a toque of oil to grease the surface. Then place a large spoonful of dough onto the foil or paper. Make a well, or small hole in the center and fill with a little stewed meat. Carefully mold the dough to close the hole–if necessary, you can use more dough for covering.
• To cook the finished alcapurrias, pre-heat the oil for frying. Carefully place the molded alcapurrias into the oil and fry for seven minutes on each side, or until golden brown. When ready, set over a paper towel to remove any excess oil.
