OK so my no sugar diet month in preparation for getting back into my summer clothes for Portugal is not going as planned entirely - I have decided to call it a low sugar month but this post may prompt you to think otherwise... My cousins got me a voucher for a chocolate making class at Christmas so I finally got along to it last Sunday and got to make and take home 25 gourmet chocolate truffles (is anyone else's mouth watering as they read this....) given the hungover state I was in as a result of the night out Kristen and I had had the night before I was just in making mode and not sampling mode! It was a really fun class however out of 35 people I was the ONLY person who was by myself and the teacher pointed it out quite clearly a few times much to my dismay - 'Right, everyone has to team up for the piping exercise (insert pointing finger at Steph here) I will come over and help you since you are by yourself (remove pointing finger and replace with the whole class staring at me)... total Bridget Jones moment but hey at least I had the guts to do it by myself... and I got double the amount of chocolate as everyone else since I didn't have to team up!! Boom! Incase your wondering I took them all in to work which is clearly major for me to share such beautiful chocolate...
Also wanted to include pictures of the mini banoffee pies I made for my friend Emma's birthday at work - so cute!! The caramel turned out amazing!
SO the first two weeks of my sugar cut back were going great until today clearly but one naughty day is allowed, especially for banoffee :)
Heres the link for the recipe I used - I added a bit more biscuit and butter for more base and also put the banana on top of the caramel after it had cooled but its personal preference how want to present them. I did this because I had to make it the night before and the banana would have gone brown by the following day so it was easier to slice it and add it before serving - enjoy!
