Pistachio and Raspberry Financiers

The sum of wet outside plus spare egg whites in the fridge equals a cosy afternoon of baking.  Actually, I  made  Brown Sugar Pavlova, but since the recipe is  already  posted I thought I’d search out another treat that uses up surplus egg whites.

This rich and velvety orange ice cream will definitely knock the socks of anything you can buy. The white chocolate adds a satisfying, slightly chewy texture, the sugar content  is reduced so that its not overly sweet. Cooking the orange zest strips with the milk translates into a mellow orange undertone and the fresh zest adds spark.  Continue reading →
