The terminate of 2011 brings amongst it the terminate of 1 where's the beef? tradition. This hither is our concluding calendar recipe! Michael's mum gave us to a greater extent than or less beautiful Japanese-style crockery for Christmas inwards lieu of cloth for a "Robyn's Recipe Calendar 2012" tag.
I'll confess to to a greater extent than or less trepidation ahead of making this recipe. I haven't eaten carob inwards virtually xv years - dorsum in addition to so carob buds were twoscore cents a bundle at the schoolhouse tuckshop in addition to hence 1 of the to a greater extent than pop sweets. Now amongst to a greater extent than disposable income in addition to a weakness for night chocolate, I've non sought out carob inwards a long time. It seems fewer in addition to fewer other people are seeking it out either: the sales assistant at Brunswick's Organic Wholefoods drew a blank in addition to theorised that amongst night chocolate directly sold equally an antioxidant-rich wellness food, at that spot mightn't move much marketplace for carob. Michael had to a greater extent than luck inwards Smith St's sis store.
That's if you lot always desire to consider sugar-free soya carob lucky. It's a pretty joyless product, earthy in addition to floury in addition to nearly 30% palm oil. I was non feeling whatever to a greater extent than optimistic subsequently my exam nibble at the corner. But determined to run across this tradition through to the bitter, chocolate-free end, I persevered amongst the recipe. The carob melted to a silky pool in addition to combined smoothly amongst the other to a greater extent than truffle-like ingredients. I added an extra dash of maple syrup to ensure a flake of sweetness, rolled them out, popped them inwards the refrigerator and... they were alright. Not chocolate, of course, but pretty good. As if my carob anxieties weren't enough, I'd been sceptical virtually mixing sultanas in addition to peppermint but that totally worked. You could fifty-fifty growth the quantities of each, I reckon!
I ate several of these at my desk the next afternoon in addition to they sustained me through a few hectic hours. I really, actively enjoyed them; I did non await that. I'm yet non certain that I desire to purchase sugar-free carob again, though. Are at that spot whatever carob fanciers out there? Do you lot accept whatever serving suggestions for us uncreative chocolate lovers?
