I have had a vision of a monstrosity of a desert for a long time, a very long time. And next weekend, I shall make it. The idea behind it is a gobstopper of goodness. A gobstopper, in case you don’t know, is some hard candy, a ball, that as you go through the layers, it changes colour and sometimes flavour. Like an onion where each layer is different. I expect this’ll be heart attack city, so a once in a blue moon treat. Some people have totally borked at this idea, others have been intrigued, but I don’t think anyone has been as crazy to put it into practice.

The Everlasting Desert starts off as a ball of something, maybe ice cream or maybe a vanilla sweetened mascarpone that has been frozen? Not a necessarily big ball, maybe only about 2” in diameter. Cover the whole thing in a thin crispy batter and deep fry it. Then cover that in something else, in this case, mashed banana, then batter and deep fry it. Next up can be some peanut butter, and, you guessed it, batter and deep fry. Why stop there? Nutella comes next, then golden syrup. Keep on going until you’re satisfied, slice it up and serve.
It’s going to be wonderful, both the beauty and the beast.

Forgive me father for I will sin.
