Kumquat Basil Dreamsicle Bars of RecipeNomad - Recipefy

Crust
1 Package Digestive Crackers
1/2 cup Sugar
1/2 cup Butter, cubed and cold
Kumquat Batter
1 cup Heavy Cream
1/2 cup Sugar
8-10 Kumquats, grate the rinds and set aside
10 ounce can Sweetened Condensed Milk

1/3 cup Orange Juice, freshly squeezed
16 ounces Cream Cheese, room temperature
1 bunch Basil, chopped (about 1/4 cup packed)
Extra thinly sliced basil leaves to garnish

Prep. Time → 20 min

Cook Time → 0 min

1. In a food processor, pulse the crackers, sugar and butter for 1 minute.
Line a 13x9 glass baking pan with parchment paper so it's hanging over the sides.
Press the crust onto the bottom of the pan. Press down hard to make sure it sticks together.
Place in the freezer while preparing the kumquat batter.
For the Kumquat Batter
In a blender add the lemon juice and orange juice with the peeled kumquats (not the kumquat rinds). Puree until smooth. Strain and set aside the liquid. Discard the pulp.
With an electric mixer, beat cream and sugar until the mixture is light, fluffy and holds its shape when the beaters are removed.
Add the kumquat rinds, condensed milk, juices, cream cheese and basil beating until well combined and thickened.
Pour the mixture into the cold crust and return to the freezer for 3-4 hours.
Before serving, remove the dessert from the foil and cut into bars.
Notes
The kumquat juice, lemon juice and orange juice need to equal 1 cup. If you have less than that add equal parts of lemon and orange juice to make a full cup.
For clean cuts, wipe the knife after each slice.
