When you check your blog roll as often as I do which is probably too often, you sometimes start to see trends in other blogger's posts. For example cupcakes are always a favorite as are salads and refreshing cool summer time drinks. I'll be interested to see how things take a turn with fall around the corner and then Christmas. Wow where did this year go to? Another item I see a lot of right now is the s'more. Yes that sticky, gooey, cookie cracker thingy which is always in the camping list of everyone who hits the great outdoors. I suspect that's why I'm seeing it now as nobody really goes camping in the winter time.
I have seen everything from s'more cupcakes to s'more brownies and even s'more cookies and let me say they all look and sound amazing. I wanted to come up with a s'more to join the revolution already out there but I just couldn't think of anything which hadn't already been tackled. I thought I'd run it past my wife just to see if she might have any ideas not really expecting much feedback but I was wrong. She suggested s'more creme brulee, and I liked the idea but wasn't sure how I could get the layers to show as creme brulee is always in a mold or a dish and never freestanding.
The suggestion made me think of the panna cotta which is a pretty strong dessert after a day in the fridge and hence the panna cotta s'more was born. The base is a cinnamon graham cracker crust with the chocolate panna cotta in the middle topped with a marshmallow frosting and toasted for that camping smell and flavor we all know. They were really tasty and the frosting was a new one for me, It was almost like an Italian meringue and it stood up well. Even after a day in the fridge I was still able to pipe it without it collapsing or becoming runny and it was just like a melted marshmallow!
