Dudefood Tuesday : Fast n Easy Dude dessert

The holidays are almost here. And that is the time of year that every one start running into the kitchen like a possesed human being.

People who avoid the kitchen at all cost for 362 days of the year, all of a sudden want to make sure they look like a culinary genius. .

Women with foam around their mouths run around the supermarket finding ingredients that no one can pronounce for the rest of the year. “Sir do you happen to know where I can find the foie gras? And which chocolate truffle should I use to grate over my pasta?” Around the christmas season everyone has a desire to create the most complex dishes ever, all in the name of impressing the family. They disappear for the entire two christmas days into the kitchen, to emerge completely stressed and almost in need of a shrink when they sit down at the festive Christmas table.

And the irony is that it is exactly those days that having fun and being together with your loved ones should be the main objective.

No, we rather sit in front of the oven for an entire day to present a big, naked (and hopefully not too dry) bird at the table.
And not to mention all those whining stories about gaining weight during the holidays. What a bullshit! You do not gain weight. You just preserve more food during christmas. And that is only logicial, because it is the coldest period of the year and so you need to be careful with your energy.

And that’s why I advice my fellow dudes to take it easy with your energy in the kitchen and not to worry too much about showing off. Keep it simple and tasteful, so you have more time to impress your guests with your wildly attractive physique and you’re carefully crafted dude- jokes.

Of course no Christmas is complete without a dish from your hand, but try and give your guests a surprise. Choose to make a dessert this year. Yes, I know, desserts are not naturally the most masculine recipes. Even worse, all that faffing about with little things and scales is nothing like dudefood at all.

But when you’re thinking creatively, you can actually turn a dessert all of a sudden into a dudedessert. Here I’ll share a recipe for a super simple and ridiculously delicious dessert, with which even the biggest culinary no-no can succeed. And it takes you a maximum of 10 minutes only!

Vanille icecream with caramel sauce and crispy bacon on a crumbly tart.
Happy Holidays!

PS: On my wishlist for Christmas “Dear Santa, for this year I would love a skinny body and a fat bank account. And not the other way around as you did in previous years.
