Anyway.
So, chocolate Philadelphia. You may have heard of it, maybe not. I feel like I
need to share this with everyone I come across, like a cheesy-chocolatey
missionary (snigger). It's seriously so good, it tastes like heaven. Also, I
particularly love how on the tub it's making a big deal of how it's only 86
calories per serving - and then you realise that 'a serving' is like, a fifth
of the tub. Whatever. Trust me, you are not going to be able to stop at a fifth
of a tub once you get going.
Personally,
I like scooping this stuff straight out of the tub with rich tea biscuits or
Hobnobs. However, I did actually make something with it last weekend, as part of
my three-course taste spectacular for Mother's Day. Okay, it was cheesecake,
very original, but never mind.
Nil
points for presentation, I'm afraid. As I kind of winged this I don't know any
amounts, though I used about 3 biscuits per glass, and a tub-and-a-bit of
Philadelphia between them.
- Crush biscuits (your choice... Digestives are always good) in a bag with a rolling pin.
- Melt butter in a bowl, tip biscuits into bowl and mix.
- Press mixture into glasses and put in fridge to set.
- Spread Philadelphia over biscuit mixture, top with whipped cream and a drizzle (does that picture look like a 'drizzle to you? Whatever) of raspberry sauce.
I then repeated Sunday's success by making a large version for my cousins whilst I was staying with them this week.. I replaced the raspberry sauce with frozen raspberries this time, which I think tasted even better. Normally frozen soft fruits aren't so nice, they seem to taste a lot more sour than their fresh counterparts; however, I think on this occasion they contrasted nicely with the sweetness of the chocolate.
Disclaimer:
I haven't been paid by Philadelphia to write this post, I just think it's the
best thing I've ever eaten. Feel free to shout at me if you disagree.
