Quest 102: Lime ChuChu Cookies

Chuchus are everywhere, but my favorite are the creepy version that shows up in Majora's Mask. The expression of the face and the fact that you can see what you will get as a reward are just too much. Today, we will capture these creepy little guys in a cookie with a sour twist - Lime ChuChu Cookies. They are basically a box of lime gelatin that got together with a sugar cookie. Surprisingly good with the sweet and sour combination. These are just about the simplest thing you can make. Enjoy!

Gear!
1-1/2 cups butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 packets (3 oz) Lime Flavored Gelatin, divided
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
3-1/2 cups gluten free AP flour with xanthium gum - We used Pamela's!
1 tsp. baking powder
Candied eyes, heart pieces
Green Sugar Glitter


Quest!
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. 

Cream together butter, sugar and 1 of the gelatin packets. Add egg and vanilla, Stir. Add in Flour and baking powder. Stir to combine. Let dough sit for 10 minutes.

Pour our second gelatin packet onto a plate. Form dough into 1 inch balls and dip into gelatin powder. Place on a baking sheet and with a cookie stamp or bottom of a flat glass, press each cookie flat. Add eyes, heart piece and additional sugar glitter. 

Bake for 8-10 minutes or until just turning golden. 

Cool on sheet for a minute or two before transferring to a cooling rack. 

Repeat until all cookies are baked. 

Enjoy!

Quest 33: Lemon Sun Tart - Happy Pi Day!

Happy Pi Day! Each year, on 3.14 it is our duty as a part of the geek community to celebrate with delicious pie! Today, we will be doing our part by creating a tribute to both Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. With Spring well on its way, it seemed appropriate to have something with a little Spring flair - Lemon Sun Tart. Now for those of you not playing along at home, sun markers appear in the Spirit Temple in OoT and in the Ikana Castle in Majora's Mask. This is so good, you may be making them again come Easter. Enjoy!



Gear! Get the Printable Recipe Here!
Crust
2 cups almond flour
½ teaspoon sea salt 
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon vanilla
5 Tablespoons of butter -  cut into pieces and cold 
3 tablespoons sugar
1 Large Egg
Lemon Curd
5 Egg Yolks
1 Cup Sugar
1/3 cup of fresh lemon juice and zest (about 3 lemons worth)
1 Stick of Butter - Cut into small pieces then chilled

Additions
Raspberries
Nectarines
Blueberries
Whipped Cream

The Quest!
 Start with the crust.  In a food processor, pulse all the crust ingredients until combined. 





Wrap the crust in plastic wrap and rest in the fridge for about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Press the mixture into either a greased large tart pan or two small tart pans. We are making one large tart pan for this post. 


Flash bake the crust for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely.




Now, let's make the lemon curd! In a double-boiler bowl, combine egg yolks and sugar whisk until smooth, about 1 minute. Zest and squeeze the lemons. Add juice and zest to egg mixture and whisk smooth. Place on double boiler. Continuously whisk until thickened over medium heat, approximately 8 minutes, or until mixture coats the back of a spoon and is generally the consistency of pudding.


Remove promptly from heat and stir in butter a piece at a time. Transfer to a container and chill for at least 2 hours. 






Putting it all together! Spoon the lemon curd into the cooled crust. Slice nectarines and wash berries.






Arrange fruit by creating a circle in the center - be creative - we used raspberries and blueberries. Then add nectarines as half of the sun rays and raspberries as the other half. Use blueberries for eyes and whipped cream for the whites of eyes and mouth. 




Gorgeous! Enjoy this lovely tart.


 We hope you enjoy this recipe and Happy Pi Day!!

Quest 30: Golden Bug Chocolates



Hail Princess Agitha! Not only is she an interesting character in Twilight Princess, but she is also a really fun character to play in Hyrule Warriors. Golden Bugs, themselves, are an interesting side quest to Twilight Princess, but there is not better way to make a lot of rupees in order to purchase the Magic Armor and further feed it to actually use it. Today we will be making Goddess Butterflies to help us find our way to the coming Spring. These chocolates are sure to please even the Easter bunny. This is a pretty easy recipe that I am confident everyone can try and succeed. Enjoy!
Gear: 
4 oz Dark Chocolate Melts
5 tsp. Caramel Sundae Topping
1 plastic or silicone mold of bugs - Today I will be using butterflies
Silicone Brush
Gold Foil Wraps
The Quest: 
In either a microwave safe bowl or a double boiler, melt the chocolate. I prefer the double boiler method because it allows me to put the chocolate back on the stove to stay melted until I can complete the second round of chocolate -- read on, you will get my meaning.


With a silicone brush, brush the mold with a layer of chocolate. I want the detail of my mold to really show, so I am making sure to get in all the crevices. Make sure to get enough chocolate in the mold to cover what will be the outside of the chocolate. You don't want the filling to escape so easily. Put the chocolate back on the stove.





















In the meantime, form 1/2 teaspoon sized balls of caramel and place them into the molds on top of the first layer of chocolate. Next, gently press down on the caramel balls to make them level with the top of the mold.










Pour the remaining chocolate into the molds to fill them completely. Tap the molds against the counter top to release any air. Set in the refrigerator to firm up the chocolate for about 10-15 minutes.










Release the chocolates from the mold. Admire how good they look. Now for the final touch! Wrap each chocolate in a gold foil to make them both magical and worth much more to Princess Agitha. Remember that you will most likely not get to see all your detail when you put the foil on, but that makes unwrapping them that more special.
