HOLY BLEEP - FIREWORKS IN YOUR MOUTH! **** And easy to make!
This cheeky dessert took me by surprise, for several reasons -
Firstly, as someone who usually gravitates towards chocolate-y goodness and not usually fruity desserts, this is something I kept grabbing for... to a sickening extent (not my best moment).
Secondly, when Simone (the creator of this godly recipe) told me I’d only need 5-6 ingredients and it was easy to make. With no delay I was like “get outta here - i need this recipe”.
Lastly, after she shared her process she showed me some photos of how she presented it for a party she catered for and that was just the cherry on top - as someone who loves to bring aesthetics into hosting this checked all the boxes.
Now, I wish I had precise instructions for this recipe... but Simone does not use measuring tools - she brilliantly measures ingredients with her sense of smell.
So when I asked her for the recipe she just sent me the ingredients and said, “add to liking” - which did nothing for me because, well, cooking is NOT my forté.
So I went to her house, watched her make it and tried my best to jot down the instructions as accurately as I could. :)
So on that note - best of luck to you, I hope it turns out great for you + if you like this recipe please give my amazing friend Simone a follow on Instagram or even a simple “like” on her recent posts!
She doesn't really use social media, but I'm sure she would appreciate knowing you came to support after seeing this post!
