The April 2011 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Evelyne of the blog Cheap Ethnic Eatz. Evelyne chose to challenge everyone to make a maple mousse in an edible container. Prizes are being awarded to the most creative edible container and filling, so vote on your favorite from April 27th to May 27th at http://thedaringkitchen.com!
I am a person that loves maple syrup on everything for breakfast. Pancakes, sausage, bacon, it’s all swimming in a golden puddle on my plate! Which is why I’m surprised to say that this is the first challenge that I have not liked at all. The concept is cool and I totally plan on using these bacon cups in other applications, it was actually the maple mousse that I did not find palatable. When eaten by itself it had a weird flavor to me, and when eaten in the bacon cups, well, all I could taste was bacon. I realize that ultimately what I learn from these challenges is worth way more than just another good recipe, and I can certainly say that I at least walked away with a neat new technique! Thank you for the challenge Evelyne!
