This Dessert:
Bells and pomegranates
The bottom of the Meil — one of the Kohen Gadol’s eight garments — had bell and pomegranate tassels on the hem.
What you need:
Ingredients
Mini chocolate chip cookie brittle dough
2 tablespoons blue sprinkles
2 tablespoons purple sprinkles
Gold food coloring spray paint
Things
Small shallow dish
Lined baking sheet
Parchment paper
Long thin serving platter
How to Make it:
Heat oven to 375℉.
Divide the dough in half.
Working with 1-2 tablespoons of dough at a time, shape half the dough into chocolate chip shapes, as bells.
Again, working with 1-2 tablespoons at a time, shape the other half of dough into small teardrop shapes about the same height as the bells – these are pomegranate buds.
In a small shallow dish mix together the blue and purple sprinkles. Press the teardrops into the sprinkles one at a time to cover.
Lay out the bells and pomegranates on a lined baking sheet, leaving a little bit a space in between them to spread.
Bake the bells and pomegranates until lightly golden. Start checking at about 4 minutes and keep an eye on them as they will bake quickly.
When cool, ,ove the bells to a sheet of parchment paper and spray gold. Let dry.
Arrange the bells and pomegranates in a line on a platter in an alternating pattern, one bell, one pomegranate, one bell…
