Porridge of the Week # 9

Chocolate Truffles and Kahlua

Category: Evening

I feel another evening porridge is in order! Certainly not for breakfast, unless you have a strong stomach... This would be an ideal piece de resistance pudding for a dinner party, if you are catering for fellow porridge enthusiasts (or maybe Scots..?)

Try it with anyone else and they may well think you are mental.

There is also room for experimentation with this- try Bailey's truffles and a shot of Bailey's for an extra creamy intense Porridge. The possibilities are endless.

Heat the porridge with milk or cream. I would advice adding the liqueur once it is done to avoid burning off the alcohol (no one would want that). Once the porridge is heated through and the liqueur is stirred in, drop in the chocolate truffles. Stir lightly so that it leaves trails of chocolate but does not completely dissolve. Tip into bowls and add another drizzle of liqueur.
To continue with the coffee flavours of the Kahlua, decorate with a chocolate covered cocoa bean and a sprinkling of coca powder.

Tastes as good as it looks ^_^

Baking with Ameretto...

My friend has invited me over to cook me dinner tonight, so I decided I would say thankyou by doing a bit of baking, as ever.
Ameretto biscuits are one of my favourite baking ingredients. They make a great base for liquer cheesecakes or crumbled over icecream etc. I decided to try some new recipes based around using them and came up with~

Crumbly Ameretto and Chocolate Biscuits

Made with plenty of crushed ameretto, these biscuits have a nice crisp texture and are perfect with Irish coffee, or served with Bailey's Icecream.

Out of Season Chocolate Ruby Nest Eggs

Based on the simple children's classic, these nest eggs have a slightly adult twist. Made with chunks of ameretto biscuit, oats, flaked almond and raisin, they are bound with melted chocolate mini eggs for a crunchy consistency, and blended with chocolate infused fortified wine.


... If you have any other ameretto recipes, feel free to share! I'll let you know how they go down tonight x
