Oh dear, not much love for the cooking comp this week.. had to go to page 2 to find this!

Question.. Is sour cream allowed?

[Cactussed]

Sure, why not?

Oh yes it is!

However the main ingedients of it are not cream or sugar.

[Anna_S]

That's only work as a submission of the choices were tea and water, surely?

[madbadger]

Am I right that this competition is submissions on the 7th December?

Have you lost a day somewhere?

Yesterday I was fine but my pud last night contained more booze than Tuesday night!

Ooops - have I just given away that I made a pudding?

Oh yes, you're right - because it was macaroni cheese night last night, not chinese, doh!

finally worked out what i'm making. this could go tits up in a big way....

[madbadger]

Will be busy tomorrow so here goes.

This week I made a Pissed Italian Surprise!


More or less a trifle. Starting off with Amaretti biscuits soaked in home made Amaretto liqueur. (Booze and sugar more or less)

Made a custard. - 3 egg yolks, bit of cornflour, more sugar and hot milk / cream. I added a reasonable measure of home made vanilla liqueur to the cream.

Added another layer of crushed amaretti biscuits as it was quite a big bag.

Next a layer of whipped cream whisked up with a bit of sugar. Just in case there wasn't enough cream and sugar in the recipe.

Poncey topping of spun sugar in a rough ball that worked really well but made a bit of a mess of the cooker.

Ta da!!






Had to use daft health and safety indoor sparklers that were pressed into a final Amaretti. They didn't even burn long enough to get a picture with both glasses lit at the same time.
