THE DARING BAKERS’ APRIL 2011 CHALLENGE:
MAPLE MOUSSE SERVED IN AN EDIBLE CONTAINER
Here’s my take on this month’s challenge. I nearly didn’t do the challenge this month due to shifting house at the very end of March, having no instructions left with the oven in the new house and the general chaos that accompanies a house move. But find it hard to let a chance to bake go by!
The April 2011 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Evelyne of the blog Cheap Ethnic Eatz. Evelyne chose to challenge everyone to make a maple mousse in an edible container.
After a bit of thought I decided to make mini-pavlovas to contain the maple mousse. Both turned out fine but was a bit disappointed with the presentation – because I usually bake at night I didn’t put the mousse into the pavs until the next day – the mousse had set beautifully in the bowl but didn’t look so great spooned into the pavs.It was also a very sweet combination and can appreciate the idea for having a savoury container
I think this is a great and very creative idea. Your mini-pavlovas came out really nice, and mousse looks very fluffy and delicious. :)
ReplyDeletePavlovas are amazing containers, you had a great idea! Great job on the challenge!
ReplyDeleteI too was disapointed that the mousse didn't look as good in the containers as it did in the bowl. having known that, I would of left the mousse set in the containers :) in any case, your pavs look awesome!
