I'm teaching a class for an afterschool programme type thing.They've decided to change it from cake and cupcake decorating (my specialty!), to just a generic 'sweet treat' class, and cut the time to an hour!This hour involves clean up too.
The blurb for the class mentions making tarts and meringues.I can do tarts if we use pre-made cases, but I think I'll have to leave out the meringues.What I need from you lovelies is any ideas (not necessarily recipes) for what I can do in these classes.Bear in mind, many of these kids don't know a lot so something that takes me 10mins takes them 2 or 3 times as long!
So far I have: Tim Tam Truffles Mini Banoffee Pies (pre-made cases) Chocolate Tart Mini Cheesecakes in cupcake cases Cookies and cream fudge in cupcake cases Mars bar slice! Chocolate Mousse!
They need to be able to take them home, there is limited equipment (a couple of cupcake trays, a cake tin).If it's not set or cooled in time, they still need to be able to take it with them.
Ideally it should be about 45mins work.I'd quite like some ideas for things that need cooking, but not sure if it's possible.
Oh peppermint slice. hmm. Lemon meringue would have to use pre-made case, but at least it still gets baked.
The above slice would still take too long. 6 teenagers, split into 2 groups. so 2 trays to go in the oven which will make cooking time longer (+ mucking around).Would leave about 2 mins to cool in tray ;)
Actually, I don't know if there are any trays!

Except the ultimate crime of adding coconut to all slice recipes! hehe!
This is one that we made when school had cooking classes and parents helped, it was a fun time and these are so fun to make and delicious. Marshmallow Treats 100g butter, melted 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 tin condensed milk 2 tsp cocoa 1 and 1/2 cups biscuits, crushed 1 pkt marshmallows vanilla ess coconut Melt first 4 ingredients in a pot and remove from heat.Add vanilla and biscuits.Leave to cool, can be put in another bowl and put in fridge when cooled down to hasten cooling if on time restraints.Take 1 tsp and roll around marshmallow and then in coconut, keep hands damp while rolling mixture.I would buy a normal pack of biscuits and remove 14 and what is left gives you approximately 1 and 1/2 cups.

I dont use an actual recipe, crsuh up about 2 packets of malt biscuits, add chopped eskimos or fruit puffs, mix in enough (probably about a can of condensed milk, until its all sticking together. On either a piece of baking paper or gladwrap, liberally sprinkle coconut, then tip sticky mixture out onto it. Form into a log shape, roll in coconut, making sure its all well covered. Refrigerate - and dont forget to share it!
