Toffee Pava- Hovas


You will need:

For the meringue: 
4 egg whites
115g Caster Sugar
115g Icing Sugar

For the Filling:
1 can of condensed milk Caramel
1 pot of double cream
1 vanilla greek yoghurt
Large Chocolate Buttons

Method:

I used a BBC Good Food recipe for the meringue, they are always pretty legit with recipes and I have never had a BBC Blunder in my time as a baking playa. As you can see from the photo I made little nests rather than sandwich meringues but its totally up to you what style or shape you wanna mix up the game with. 

For the filling you will simply mix a table spoon of vanilla greek yoghurt with 287ml of double cream whisking up until it is stiff and then its totally optional whether you wanna add the toffee in there too, (I did) and also drizzle more on tops, went in HAM with the toffee and used the whole tin over 8 meringues! Decorate with chocolate chips and buttons and pow an indulgent delicious delight!

The question is, what album to listen too, I think I'm gonna have to go with The Blueprint with this bake, there are so many club banger tracks on that but the accompanying track goes too...

Talib Kiwis


You will need:
4 Eggs
8oz Butter
8oz Self Raising Flour
8oz Caster Sugar
2 tsp milk
1 lemon 
Lemon Juice

For the topping:
250g Icing sugar
75g butter
lemon juice
2 kiwis

Method

Right these fellas are pretty quick and easy to make as and look pretty exquisite if you ask me, I have recently invested into different piping nozzles though I do always like the look of the OG swirly vibe. Beat the butter and sugar together, cracking the eggs in one at a time. Now mix in the milk and lemon juice, I just freestyled the pouring though would probably say that about 5 squeezes out of the lemon juice bottles would do it. When I say Lemon Juice I mean the one for pancakes not a bit of Robinsons or even worse that double strength squash. Sift the flour and add the milk folding the mixture evenly. I then got a bit lemon crazy and squeezed the juice of one into the mix too. Cook for 30 minutes on 170C and leave to cool. I always find this bit hard as I like to get things done but trust me I have had so many sloppy icing jobs due to cake still being on fire when I tried to ice it. 

You then sift the icing sugar into a bowl and add the butter and lemon juice mixing till its a thick consistency. Use a piping bag and nozzle of yo choice to get the desired icing effect and add your kiwis to create that beautiful bake off. 

Now I would suggest you whack ''The Beautiful Struggle'' on and Get em High with these zesty treats.
