Nerdy
Agent Carter’s Cherry Pie
Happy belated Independence Day! My procrastination worked out well enough this time, as I’ve got a dessert based on Captain America: The First Avenger, a.k.a. Marvel’s most star-spangled, patriotic superhero, to share with you today. I will confess that I’d been putting this one off because I just couldn’t get into any of the ideas I came up with. For a couple weeks, it was between Captain America shield black and white cookies (because Brooklyn) and self-saucing puddings (because super soldier serum injection). Unfortunately, while those were both good ideas (and you may see them in the future), they just didn’t seem right.
Iron Man’s Aprium Linzertorte
Back to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) baking series! Remember when I said that I’d have to postpone my Iron Man 2 bakeventure due to the seasonable availability of a particular fruit? Well, the season is now upon us. Apriums are ripe and available for the month of June, so stock up as soon as you see them hit your grocery store, because they likely won’t be around for long.
Thor’s Mint Chocolate Baked Alaska
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) baking series is trucking right along, even in the face of a minor setback. This week’s post was originally supposed to be based on Iron Man 2, but I’ve decided to delay that recipe due to the seasonal availability of the fruit I plan to use. To make up for it, I’ve jumped ahead to my one of my favorite superheroes: Thor!
The Incredible Hulk’s Spiced Guava Crème Brûlée
Here’s part two of my Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) baking series, right on schedule! Today, we’re taking on The Incredible Hulk. My original plan involved cookies and pop rocks, but this one is both more obvious and more subtle: spiced guava crème brûlée.
Iron Man’s Arc Reactor Pavlova
‘Tis the season of blockbuster movies, and I for one am getting back into the summer Marvel movie hype with gusto. I saw Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 on opening weekend, and it reminded me of a challenge I’ve been talking about for awhile, but never gotten the motivation to start: baking my way through the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Captain America’s Shield Cookies
Happy Independence Day in advance! If you’re looking for a fun and tasty holiday dessert with some added nerd cred, look no further! I bring you slice and bake cookies that look like Captain America’s shield! (So many exclamation points! Excitement! Yea!) After all, who better to grace your holiday dessert table than America’s most patriotic fictional character?
