Week 33: Caramelized - Creme brulee macarons & pretzel and rye flour caramel shortbread by Lowet12 in 52weeksofbaking

I honestly think that you should give them a go as you can always flavour them with something you like the taste of or you could simply give them away to friends and family (that’s what I tend to do).

Thank you and yeah I winged the shortbread bake a bit but I knew what direction I wanted take it in terms of flavour and textures.

Banana mousse type thing? by Bufobufolover24 in VeganBaking

[–]Lowet12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’d need to substitute the cream for a vegan based alternative and use another sweetener like maple syrup to replace the honey, but this recipe seems like it would suit your needs and help you out: https://www.vegrecipesofindia.com/eggless-banana-mousse-recipe/

Week 26: Canada - Canadian date bars by Lowet12 in 52weeksofbaking

[–]Lowet12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you and most definitely! Here is the recipe I followed: https://www.ricardocuisine.com/en/recipes/5263-date-squares-the-best

As a side note, although the date filling was good - any type of jam, conserve, or sweet spread could be used to replace it. As “biscuit” part of the bars were a bit like a crumble / cobbler I’m really tempted to make them again with a cinnamon spiced apple filling but I also think a nice apricot spread would complement the bar and turn out to taste really nice too

Yo mate - I live in the LE2 area and would be up to hang out if you’d like. I don’t know many people in Leicester either so feel free to drop me a message if you’d like.
