Ferrero Rocher cake?

Burlesque_Babe

Now, please don't think I've gone barking mad trying to possibly make up something that probably doesn't exist, but I've got a tray of Ferrero Rocher in the fridge which my OH gave me for Valentine's Day which I'm not massively keen on (too nutty) but I was wondering if I could make them into some kind of cake, or desert to kind of 'dissolve' the nutty taste in some way and make them stretch even further

I was playing around with the idea of an upside down cake with them halved at the bottom of the cake tin (would that work or would I just have nutty mush??)

the container is heart shaped (but plastic) so I was wondering if there was any way of making something that I could 'press' into the container and set in the fridge.........so I could present it to him as something I've done with his gift that we can still share.

It's a bit cold for icecream but I'm open to any other suggestions!

Over to you fantastic lot!!!

You could try this recipe:

Don't know if it'll still be too nutty though.

Why not make a cheesecake with them?

Mixing some, crushed, with the digestive bottom, again some crushed through the filling and again some crushed sprinkled on top? or something like that.

ooh, both good ideas

Maybe you could chop a few up and add them to a normal moist chocolate cake recipe, and then chop a few more and add them to a chocolate ganache for the filling?

Or, they do make a nice milkshake if you blend them up with ice cream and milk ...

Or, maybe you could try melting them down and mixing them with fruit for a 'tiffin' style cake?

I wonder if it would work to crush them up and add them to some melted chocolate and cornflakes, then press the mixture into the heart shaped container.

Burlesque_Babe

funny you should say that gingham ribbon, I've just found this recipe and thought...hhhmm....I could adapt it and add some of the chocolates as the topping.....
