MOO passionfruit yoghurt Rudolph caramel tartlets

It’s almost Christmas time! As the holiday season approaches, I was inspired to create something to kick-start the Christmas cheer at work. A simple take on the butternut snap tartlets with a few extra ingredients to make it extra special.


Ingredients:
  • Arnott’s Butternut Snap biscuits
  • 70g butter
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons MOO passionfruit yoghurt
  • Pretzels
  • Christmas M&Ms 

Method:
  • Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees fan forced
  • Place 12 Arnott’s Butternut Snap biscuits in a shallow tartlet tray
  • Place in the oven until they are soft enough to mould
  • Carefully press the centre of the biscuits into the bottom of the shallow tartlet tray to form shallow cups
  • Set aside to cool
  • To make the caramel melt the butter and add sugar until it dissolves and thickens
  • Remove from heat and quickly mix in the yoghurt
  • Return to heat on low until it thickens (up to 5 minutes)
  • Fill biscuit cases with approximately 1 tablespoon of caramel
  • Place the tartlets in the fridge until caramel thickens
  • Break up pretzels so they look like little reindeer antlers
  • Once caramel is thick, attach the pretzels so they look like antlers and use two green M&Ms as eyes and a red M&M as a nose.
  • Enjoy!


A tip: don’t put the pretzels or M&Ms on until they are ready to be served. The caramel is soft so they can move if arranged too early.

In the spirit of Christmas my fun farewell fact will be reindeer focused: “Like a human’s fingerprint no two reindeer antlers are exactly the same.”

Thai meatballs

Image
I think meatballs are one of the most diverse dishes of all time - cooked in tomato sauce in Italy and Greece, wrapped in flatbread in Turkey, served in hot soup in Vietnam or covered in gravy in Sweden. When done well, they are moist, delicious and a great cheap eat. When done badly they are dry and tasteless.  Lending itself to so many different creations, I like to experiment with the humble meatball. For this dish you can use traditional coconut milk however for a tangy and creamy twist, you can use yoghurt. Go with your gut.  Ingredients: 500g pork or beef 1/2inch of ginger, grated 2 cloves of garlic, crushed 1 tablespoons lime juice 1 tablespoon of crushed lemongrass 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons of coriander 1 red chili (small or ½ big chili – remove seeds if you don’t like spice) ½ teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon flour 1 tablespoons of thai paste (you can use green curry paste if you like or follow the below recipe) 3/4 cup of chicken stock ½ cup yoghu

Challenge 3 - Milo and Yoghurt - I think it's my best!

Image
My workmate elegantly put up on my blog "Milo and Yoghurt...go!" This one I had to say excited me. Everytime I eat milo I feel like a kid again. That's what I love about food, it's ability to take you back to memorable moments in your life. Even a piece of kraft single cheese on a piece of toast reminds me of all the amazing times I had at my grandma's growing up. Time at grandma's house with my cousins was always my favourite part of the school holidays. So yes, I was excited and I felt like a kid again. Growing up I used to love eating chocolate mousse, it was just beautiful. So a milo and yoghurt mousse came straight to mind. Smooth, rich and light. However milo itself isn't overly sweet and the yoghurt will make the mousse rather tart. So I thought it needed something to even out the flavour. Like lemon compliments tequila, strawberries compliment chocolate. So I thought a sweet strawberry compote would work well. In terms of visuals, I needed somethin

Chocolate peanut butter balls

Image
We were going to visit family for morning tea when I had a moment of panic and realised I had nothing to take. In these situations no bake bites are my go to. They are easy, simple and need very few ingredients. Whatever is in the pantry, you can put in a mixing ball with some melted butter and chocolate and you have a quick sweet treat. That day, I was wanting to feel like a kid again so looked for ingredients that would conjure up fond childhood memories. That ingredient for me is peanut butter. Peanut butter with honey on toast was my weekend indulgence. I loved the sweet and salty combination.  So with almond biscuits in the pantry and an abundance of peanut butter at my disposal I got to work. This week’s blog recipe is chocolate peanut butter balls. What you make with things from the pantry.
