i’ve been a very bad girl. well actually, i’ve been extremely good – munching away on ‘clean foods’ and avoiding processed food these past few weeks. but last night, my chocolate craving got the best of me and i caved into temptation*!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

searching through our pantry and fridge, i’ve pulled out a few things that would do the job –
\n* jar of nutella
\n* two tubs of vanilla custard (the kids snack of choice lately)
\n* some frozen raspberries & blueberries that i’ve been blending for my morning smoothie
\n* shortcrust pastry<\/p>\n

if you’re familiar with baking tarts or pies, you’ll know the drill. spray your pie tin (or in this case, a muffin pan) with cooking spray so the pastry doesn’t stick to it. cut the shortcrust pastry into big squares (enough to fill each hole and overflow a little bit). on top of each square of pastry, place your pie weights on top of some baking paper, which is on top of the pastry and bake in a preheated oven, on 180 degrees celcius, for about 15 minutes. remove the pie weights and bake for a further 5 minutes. <\/p>\n

now you’re ready to fill those cases in! fill them with whatever you want – but i’ve got with Nutella & a few raspberries, and Custard & a few blueberries. i’ve baked them for a further 10 minutes and then taken them out to cool for another 10 minutes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

YUM. all done! <\/p>\n

*on the topic of cravings and temptation, i actually think having a treat once in a while is a good thing for your body and your confidence. imagine living in a world of restrictions, you’d go nuts. i’ve been working out calories so i’m educated about where i am, but i didn’t bother counting them for this treat. it’s not a treat if you’re already laying a guilt trip on yourself, is it \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n

let me know if you’ve made any sweet treats lately too! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
