Easter time always brings out the creative side of me. I think it’s the change in season and the freshness in the air.
I love simple, non-fussy cake toppers for cakes, and this one is super easy and can be made ahead of time. It will even make a pretty place setting on the Easter table, if you’d like to make smaller ones.
Happy Easter!
METHOD
Ingredients
Directions
- Step 1:
Prepare a shallow bowl with kitchen towel for the fried noodles.
- Step 2:
Line a small ‘nest’ shaped bowl with clingfilm.
- Step 3:
Heat the oil to 180ºC. When you put a small piece of bread in the oil, it should bubble around the bread if it’s up to temperature.
- Step 4:
Break the noodles into smaller pieces, loosening the strands, so they are not together.
- Step 5:
Place small amounts of noodles into the hot oil and fry for about 15 to 20 seconds at a time. The noodles will puff up. Remove from oil and place in the bowl lined with kitchen towel.
- Step 6:
When all the noodles have been fried off, allow them to cool for a few minutes.
- Step 7:
Cover the noodles in melted chocolate and coat well.
- Step 8:
Place the covered noodles in the prepared bowl and spread them out to resemble a nest.
- Step 9:
Allow to set for at least 30 minutes, before unmolding.
- Step 10:
The nests keep in an airtight container for up to a week and make a yummy treat if you make smaller ones.
