Baked Deep Fried Oreos

Ingredients

  •  1 can Pillsbury crescent rolls
  •  8 Oreo cookies
  •  1/2 cup milk (any kind)
  •  1/4 cup powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375ºF.
  2. Slice the cylinder of crescent roll dough into 16 pieces (see photo in post). “Smush” each piece into a circle slightly bigger than an Oreo.
  3. Dunk an Oreo in the milk (very quickly– you don’t want it to be soggy!) and place on a crescent roll circle. Press another circle of dough on top of it, and pinch the layers together to seal the Oreo inside.
  4. Repeat with each Oreo. Place Oreos on a lined baking sheet, and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Remove from oven and immediately dust with powdered sugar and serve!

Easter Egg Tiffin

MAKES:36 servings

PREP TIME:0 hours 35 mins

COOK TIME:0 hours 30 mins

TOTAL TIME:1 hour 5 mins

Ingredients

115 g unsalted butter, plus extra to grease

100 g pecans

397 g tin condensed milk

150 ml whole milk

425 g light brown soft sugar

1 tsp. vanilla bean paste

1/2 tsp. flaked sea salt

150 g dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids), chopped

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan) mark 4 and lightly grease and line a 20.5cm square tin with baking parchment. Spread the pecans out on a separate baking tray and toast in the oven for 8min, or until golden and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
  • Mix the condensed milk, whole milk, sugar, butter and vanilla in a large pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves. Turn up the heat a little and bubble, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches 113-115˚C on a sugar thermometer – about 15min.
  • Set pan aside for 5min. Meanwhile roughly chop the pecans.
  • Add the salt to the pan and beat using a handheld electric whisk on medium speed for 5-6min, or until the mixture has thickened and is starting to come away from the sides of the pan. Alternatively, beat with a wooden spoon for 8-10min.
  • Stir in the chopped pecans. Scrape mixture into the lined tin, spreading to level. Leave to cool completely at room temperature, or in the fridge. 
  • Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Meanwhile transfer the fudge to a board and trim the edges to neaten. Cut into 36 squares, each roughly 3 x 3cm.
  • Line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Dip each square into the melted chocolate to 1/2 coat. Leave to set on the lined sheet at room temperature, or chill briefly if needed. Serve.
