Your Daily Sweets: What Are You Making and Baking? (2017 – )

Mi esposo made 2 ingredient Creme Brulée.  Well, 3 if you count the sprinkle of sugar to caramelize.    Just ice cream and egg yolks.  I was very surprised by how good it was!

What exactly, did he do?

@ElsieD    This recipe, but he used vanilla bean ice cream.

I had a bunch of egg yolks in search of a purpose so made a big bowl of baked custard from Ottolenghi. Well, it's more burnt custard really, due to the unusual way of making it (here, from last earlier this year).

 

After eating a few spoonfuls I decided such a large quantity was far too dangerous to be within walking distance of, and was wondering what to do with it. A burnt custard tart seemed a reasonable solution...

 

 

 

Because I was winging it, there wasn't quite enough of the mix to fill level with the rim for a clean, perfectly flat surface; a good excuse to make even more next time.

Chocolate Chip Cookies With Olive Oil and Sea Salt by Jesse Szewczyk (Instagram, and possibly paywalled recipe)...

 

 

 

They we fine, I guess, but overpromised and underdelivered. I was intrigued by the technique of toasting some of the flour with olive oil, supposedly for a brown butter flavour. It did smell somewhat nutty, but ultimately didn't come through in the finished cookie. Butter is still king.

 

Having said all that, they were better than other vegan chocolate chip cookies I've made, so worth a look if that's your thing.
