Recipe for key lime cake please Eglesbrech

https://www.carnation.co.uk/recipes/key-lime-fudge
 

 

It’s a Nestle recipe but I play about with it a bit. I add in a bit more butter and base to the recipe to make it more of tray bake cake. I also add in the juice of the 3 limes as well as the zest (rather than just one lime which makes it far too sweet and less flavour of lime imo). If you do that it needs to set overnight and you also need to use a high cocoa butter white chocolate.

Thank you. I use a similar recipe with condensed milk for cheesecake.

This seems just up our street. I will try it when I'm back from holiday

My baking is done now, too.

 

Chocolate Orange Viennese Fingers, Gingerbread and Sticky Lemon Slices (just waiting to be cut).

You could put a few pounds on just looking at this thread 😉

If you want to lose a few pounds then the Bet Fred 365 plans a good bet .

Which reminds me earlier I walked past the bookies.

There's a sign on the door.
Sunday open 11-4.
 Think I will have a tenner on that. They were open last Sunday 🙃

A bit like us, we usually just treat ourselves on Friday lunchtime when we go to The Blacklake Inn.  I could easily look like a Teletubby.

We are also trying to shed a few pounds in readiness for the next cruise, however we have fallen and have just finished a big bag of BBQ beef teriyaki sensations, washed down with a large rum and coke. Oh well, diet tomorrow.

 

We have just finished watching Masters of the air directed by Spielberg and Hanks, this has been an excellent series based on a true story, there is also a documentary film out "The Bloody Hundredth" which we will watch.

I struggled when I first retired because before retirement I belonged to the running section of company's athletics club, I am still member of the retired section but I'm not motivated enough to go there regularly so I just walk about 5 miles a day nearer to home.

Good morning.

9°C and cloudy with rain due soon.

I hope everyone is safe and well.

[purplesea]

Good Morning,

Hope you're all well.

 

I've just logged into My P&O to book dining and entertainment. The entertainment is very uninspiring. One of evening we have The Sooty Show and on another couple The Kids Party Live!

 

Hope you all have a good Sunday.

Is that the kids club?

 

It is quite dull and damp this morning but mild.

 

Happy St Patrick's day to all our Irish friends, my granny was 80% Irish, they called her Iris.
