Rum And Raisin White Chocolate Shipwreck

-

Written by McDonald, T.  |  Date 9th of December 2024

If you are looking for a true piece of decadence, this is it. Plenty of flavour from the rum and raisins and plenty of sweetness from the chocolate and coconut cream.  This dessert takes longer to chill than it does to make, so if you are sort of time, this could be for you.  All you have to do is soak the raisins overnight and make the dessert in the morning and put it in the fridge.  When you get home, the dessert will be more than ready. 

Ingredients

  • White chocolate, vegan x 30g
  • Coconut cream x 2 tbsp
  • Golden syrup x 1 tbsp
  • Dark rum x 25 ml + 25 ml for soaking the raisins
  • Raisins x 3 tbsp
  • Banana x 1 medium sided
  • 2 walnuts chopped
  • a few sliced almonds
  • a coup of glazed cherries

Method

  1. Soak the raisins in 25 ml of rum.
  2. Melt the coconut cream and white chocolate with the other 25 ml of rum in a bowl over boiling water.
  3. Add the golden syrup.  If you don't, the rum will make it taste bitter.
  4. Cut the banana into slices and put them in a dessert bowl.
  5. Add the raisins to the chocolate and coconut mixture.  Give it a good stir until it is completely combined. 
  6. Pour the chocolate mixture over the banana. 
  7. Decorate with the chopped nuts and glazed cherries. 
  8. Leave to chill in the fridge for about 2–3 hrs.

The Price of Ignorance

By T. McDonald . | Date 1st of November 2019 | Updated on 15th April 2021 Ever woke up and thought, ‘Is this it?’ Have you ever been plagued with the idea that something is wrong with the world or your life; something you can’t quite put your finger on? If you have seen the matrix, you may be aware of the famous quote about having a splinter in the mind. Something in life is wrong and that thing is the price of ignorance. Something in life is wrong.  The fictional character Morpheus from the movie The Matrix (1999) explains: ‘ …there is something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it is there like a splinter in your mind… ’ So, what is it that is troubling people so much that it comes out in modern media and common sayings?  To answer that question, we must first look at what we are. We are animals. Animals need to find resources by which to sustain themselves and humans are no different. Notably, many people also have pets ranging from dogs and...

Viking Skause

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 12th of December 2022 Abstract  Skause is a Viking stew, which contained, boiled meat, vegetables and Mead , an alcoholic drink made from fermented honey and included spices (What Viking Diets Were Really Like, 2021).  I wanted to make something vegan that a meat eater would think of trying.  Being as meat eaters, especially men, see themselves as being a little on the wild side, I needed something that would appeal to the old world fun vibe.  So, when I was looking through old recipes for inspiration, the Viking food immediately jumped out at me.  Bearing in mind I need to appeal to both vegans and especially non-vegans, the mock meat had to be good.  Unfortunately, the mock meat I intended to use, Naked strips, was not available, so I had to improvise.  This resulted in the idea to add three different types of mock meat to the dish.  I struggled to find suitable mock meats at such short notice. ...
