Hello friends! It's Week 9 of The Great Social Distance Bake Off!
I hope everyone is doing well. Here in DC and Maryland, our stay-at-home orders are being lifted. I'm not too sure what that means in terms of social distancing. I know I won't be going back to work anytime soon and we haven't heard anything about when daycare will reopen, so the bake-off and the staying-at-home continue.
This week is Neopolitan Week!
We're taking the traditional ice cream combination of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry and putting a spin on it!
Your signature challenge is to bake a treat using all three colors of the Neopolitan trio - brown, white, and pink.
Your technical challenge is to combine all three flavors into one dessert! If you don't like chocolate or have a strawberry allergy (or if you just can't find something), you can use two flavors but I want to see how creative you can get with all three!
At this point in the challenge, I'm using any and every excuse to make macarons, so I made Neapolitan macarons and I love how they came out! It took three attempts at making macarons but I finally got the color right! I used the recipe from Pies and Tacos - seriously, if you're attempting macarons, check out her site! She has not steered me wrong!
I'm getting very ambitious for my technical challenge this week. Wish me luck!
