This Dessert:

Dead Mouse in a Bowl

Any non-kosher rodent that falls into an earthenware vessel makes it Tamei, requiring the vessel to be broken.

What You Need:

Ingredients

• 12 waffle bowl mini cakes

• 2 cups blue frosting

• 12 almonds

• ¼ cup light brown chocolate

Things

• Offset spatula

• Parchment paper

• Piping bag

• Scissors

• Toothpick

How to Make It:

1. Spread a smooth layer of blue frosting over the cake surface of the waffle bowl mini cakes.

2. Lay out a small sheet of parchment paper.

3. Melt the chocolate in a shallow bowl and drop the almonds into the chocolate to cover. Immediately use a fork to fish out the almonds and lay them on the parchment paper to dry.

4. Let the chocolate begin to harden. 

5. Fill the piping bag with some of the melted chocolate. Cut off a tiny piece of the tip and pipe tails for all the ‘mice’.

6. While the chocolate is still soft, using a toothpick, poke 2 small holes for eyes near the skinny end of the almond, draw light lines for fur along the back and semicircles as ears just behind the holes.

7. Let the chocolate harden at room temperature or place it in the freezer to speed up the process.

8. When the chocolate is fully hardened, carefully peel the mice off the parchment paper and place one ‘mouse’ on top of each mini cake.
