Marshmallow roasted on the fire


Be careful :

If you use a candle - move items that are around the candle

Children should do this with a grown-up around

Cooking tools :

1 . Fire source : candle or stove-top


Ingredients :


1 . Marshmallows

Instructions :

1 . Take a marshmallow and stick it on a stick

2 . Hold it above the fire until its ready


Tips :

1 . Cooking rule : long time + less heat = cooked better on the inside
short time + more heat= cooked more on the outside and less in the inside .

same thing with marshmallow , if you like it to cook better in the side and that it wont burn hold it far from the fire or lower the flames and the opposite if you want it to be burned from the outside and less cooked in the inside .


2 . You can always do it the classical way which is on a fire outside the house

3 . A good way to prevent from the marshmallow to burn is to slowly turn it above the fire that way no part of it is exposed to the fire for to long

1 . 500 ml non-dairy whipped cream
2 . chocolate flavored petit beurre biscuits

Instructions :

1 . Take the 500 ml non-dairy whipped cream and put it in the mixer and mix until it looks like cream and not liquid : im not sure myself how long to wait - but i belive 8 minutes on high speed will be ok

2 . Add the cream to a baking dish and then put the petit beurre biscuits in the cream

3 . Put the cake in the freezer for the night


Tips :

1 . To help the whipped cream to turn from liquid to cream its better to add it cold so keep it inside the refrigerator until the time of use .

2 . You can add the petit beurre biscuits in any shape you like , and you can also add them before pouring the cream - you can coat the baking dish with biscuits and then add the cream - and also you can add after that more biscuits !

3 . You can use regular petit beurre biscuits and dunk them for 1 second ( not more or they get really soft ) in coffee or cocoa

4 .
You can grate with a grater dark choolate inside the cream before adding it to the baking dish

5 . You can add melted dark chocolate (explained here ) to the baking dish and then add the cream that way you will get a chocolate coverd cake
