Parshas Noach is all about the great flood that destroyed the entire world excepting Noah, his family and all the animals they saved with them in the ark.
I really struggled with these arks and some of them look like submarines... but they are cute non-the-less.
Let's start with the meringue ark.
The basic recipe for meringues is
1. preheat oven to 130 C (260F)
2. For every egg white you use add 1/4 cup castor sugar and 1/4 tsp cream of tartar(or lemon juice)
3. Beat the egg whites adding the castor sugar 1 tbls at a time making sure to mix the sugar in properly.
4. When its all well incorporated add cocoa for a darker colour (not to mention the most delicious chocolate flavour)
5. Using a piping bag shape the bottom boat-
And then the next two layers-
6. Bake in the oven for about 1 and a half hours. Allow them to cool in the oven (turned off) with the door open.
7. Fill in between the layers with whipped (parev)cream.
Brownie Ark
1. Double any recipe for a brownie that you have and bake as usual.
2. Allow to cool properly.
3. Using an oval cookie cutter cut out the bottom layer of the boat.
4. Cut little squares for the top bit.
5. Ice using Whipped parev cream. use some of the left over cake to make little windows.
Rainbow cupcakes
Bake vanilla flavour cupcakes and decorate using whipped (parev) cream. use a belt 'sour' sweet as the rainbow.
Wishing you all a wonderful Shabbos!
