Super Paper Mario: Saffron & Dyllis Super Show #32: Snow Bunny

 Snow Bunny is made from TURTLEY LEAF and ICE STORM

An obvious choice here: ice cream! We're going to make a white peppermint flavour and the turtley leaf will be the fresh mint leaves on the decorations.

For this one we'll need to sweeten the cream ourselves, so im going to heat the cream with some caster sugar, and add the flavouring in here too.

Then we slam it in my mini ice cream maker (that we prepared in the freezer) btw i have a mini ice cream maker, its grand.

When it's done churning it needs to go in the freezer to finish freezing. I've put it in a tub so that its hopefully a bit easier to scoop.

Ice creams frozen now, and I miraculously managed to find a frozen fruit mix that contains blackcurrants, as well as some fresh mint so we have pretty bang-on eyes and ears.

***

This is one of those life skills I kinda never really thought I needed to train for... but I do not know how to scoop ice cream. I've tried to make an approximation of a snow bunny shape and decorated it. anyway the good news is, the ice cream itself is quite nice. The peppermint is clearly there but you can also taste the fresh cream quite a lot. It goes well with the mint leaves obviously but it does not go well at all with the blackcurrants, maybe use choc chips instead. Or just have a bowl of ice cream.

Super Paper Mario: Saffron & Dyllis Super Show #31: Fruit Parfait

 Fruit Parfait is made from PEACHY PEACH and SNOW CONE

So I never really knew what a parfait exactly is and had to do my research. Apparently in france its some sort of ice cream slab, but in america and asia its a layered dessert with yogurt, fruit and granola? I don't really feel like doing any more crushed ice nonsense so i thought i'd forgo the SNOW CONE and instead try that layered yogurt dessert approach. Also, instead of granola I thought id just try some weird cereal that sounded nice tbh.

So we're chopping up some PEACHY PEACH into smaller chunks, dicing the cereal and some glace cherries as well.

Maybe i should have gone for a thicker yogurt, its not gonna appear that layered i guess...but you get the idea.

****

Tastes delicious! Like ok it didnt blow my mind or anything but I really like tinned peaches and yogurt I guess. Good things and good combo. The cereal I could give or take, it doesn't keep its crunch as well as granola/oats probably would but the blueberry filling and chopped cherries go really well and add a burst of sweetness. Took the lazier approach to this recipe and i have no regrets.

Super Paper Mario: Saffron & Dyllis Super Show #30: Snow Cone

 Snow Cone is made with ICE STORM

We've got ice. (and raspberry syrup)

We've got storm. well this is the best I can do anyway. this machine isnt really ideal for ice but idk, thought id try it.

Its ground the ice up nice and fine. I have to do it in really small batches and keep emptying it out so it can get to the big chunks. i dont want it to melt while im doing it so thisll probably do.

**

Annoyingly the ice was ground up so fine that it kinda started refreezing into bigger chunks again, but the syrup was really nice.

Super Paper Mario: Saffron & Dyllis Super Show #29: Fruity Punch

 Fruity Punch is made from KEEL MANGO and PEACHY PEACH

I've got half a can of peach slices in grape juice to finish up, and a mango thats as ripe as its ever gonna be, borderline expired really. Seems perfect. I'll also throw in an apple and some cherries to brighten it up a bit and make it look slightly like the sprite, 

This is so soft its a bit tricky, ive cut off any bruised brown bits as well and chopped it into sortof-cubes.

So to me this recipe definitely looks like a fruit salad rather than a punch drink, but i think im gonna "punch" it up a bit with some rum!

***

Yeah its a perfectly OK fruit salad. The mango was pretty bland and the dry crispyness of the apple didnt really help or harm it. A good way to use up fruit before it goes off but I guess it still hinges on really good quality ingredients.

Super Paper Mario: Saffron & Dyllis Super Show #28: Love Pudding

 Love Pudding is made from BIG EGG and LOVELY CHOCOLATE

So we've still got a few of the lovely chocolates left, and its gotta be something egg based so how about a steamed egg/custard pudding?

So I followed a recipe for "chinese style" egg pudding, seems nice and straightforward. We dissolve some sugar into a bit of hot water first, then take it off the heat and stir in milk and beaten eggs, and ill add a bit of vanilla flavouring as well.

Straining the mixture as we pour it into the cups. I want to create as much of a tower shape as I can, so I'll try this mug and hope for the best. And i'll pour the rest in some ramekins.

Covered these up with something heatproof... now, mugs a bit tall for the steamer...

So we're improvising and adapting..

After 15mins it looks like its worked... seems kinda jelly-like... But will it come out?

*****

Oh heck yeah look at that! We made a pudding! Much like the heartful cake im kind of amazed it worked at all, let alone be such a delicious hot, fresh and flavourful dessert. It not might be restaurant quality in its shape and texture, but as long as its gone roughly right its a basically perfect dessert that i'd definitely do again.

Super Paper Mario: Saffron & Dyllis Super Show #27: Mango Pudding

 Mango Pudding is made with a KEEL MANGO and BIG EGG

Since we've got plenty of egg based puddings, I actually wanna ditch the BIG EGG for this one and instead do a more conventional recipe for mango pudding. It'll be worth it I reckon. 

Instead of chancing it with a fresh mango and risking an unripe or bland one, I thought I'd get some frozen mango chunks since the flavour will probably matter in this. I let them defrost and then i've smoothiefied them.

Meanwhile melting the gelatine and sugar in hot water. I've decided to use coconut sugar, cause ive had it hanging around my cupboard for a while and I thought hey here's something it might go well with. It will probably turn my pudding a weird shade of brown though so...oop.

Mixing the melted sugarjelly in with mango and some single cream. Pretty simple really!

Looks smooth, the gelatines not that well mixed though so there's a few little lumps, I could probably solve this by straining it, but I don't even care.

Yeah its gonna be kinda beige lol, here's hoping it sets and tastes nice though.

*****

It tastes REAL good! I'm not sure if its the mango variety or the coconut sugar but its got a slight woody twist to the creamy mango flavour that im actually really into. A really unique dessert, a lot smoother than the egg based puddings and it's not only super easy to make but I bet a lot of people would like it.

Super Paper Mario: Saffron & Dyllis Super Show #26: Shroom Pudding

 Shroom Pudding is made with BIG EGG and SHROOM SHAKE

So for this recipe I decided to copy the recipe for love pudding which... i havent made yet so please pretend to be surprised when you see that one... Anyway this ones different though because its got chestnut in. And i'm adding a pinch of nutmeg and vanilla essence as well.

Tried to mix the chestnut puree with the milk but it was just staying clumpy so i'm squishing it through a strainer. It works!

Milk, chestnut, sugar, eggs and a bit of nutmeg and vanilla all together now.

Swizzed up with my mixer. We could strain it again but i dont really mind if its slightly clumpy. I'm one of those bits-in yogurt appreciator types.

No crimes here officer everythings fine.

***

Welll this one didnt stay together quite as well as the pudding that i uh... havent made yet.. but I dunno its still pretty cute. It's got a rustic charm both in appearance and flavour. Texture fussy people might hate it but i think its kinda nice, like a chestnutty egg nogg... goes really well with the marzipan mushroom i made earlier too.
