During this Christmas last, as per the norm, our household always makes Danish Juleaften (or Yule evening/Xmas eve) meal. This ends with the rice and almond pudding drizzled in warm cherry sauce. This is called ‘ris a lamande’ in Danish.
Unfortunately for us, with this recent international move from London to Malaga, we can’t seem to find our electric whisk. I can’t remember if we had given it to our daughter or if it was in another box of kitchen wares in storage.
Oh oh…?
Wherever it was, it meant that we panicked slightly wondering how we were going to whisk 1 litre of cream into whipped cream for the dessert. The only handheld whisk we had in the kitchen was a tiny one for a small serving of sauces.
What now?
“Ah-ha….!” said the husband as he produced a small piece of Lego, washed it and stuck it into a Ziploc bag.
I asked him what he was doing with a piece of our kids’ toys. He told me he got this tip from his sister some time ago and he suddenly remembered it!
If you ever find yourself on a camping trip and reeeeaaallly would love to have whipped cream on top of that fireside hot chocolate (which I assume will come with a few pieces of marshmallow)…
Haven’t got an electric whisk at hand or the large handheld whish or even a large bowl? Then you fret not! Simple kitchen hack to the rescue!
Just make sure you pack a piece of 8 dotted Lego and a medium-sized Ziplock bag! (Make sure it’s a good quality one as you can see why in the video! ?)
Please watch our simple kitchen hack which I realised now is also perfect for making Eton Mess on holiday without a whisk! 😉
Have you got any other kitchen hacks I can use with my Legos? Please let me know in your comments below. I would LOVE to hear your tips!
