Todays high protein meal, pan fried mackerel with white bean purée, a rough caper salsa steamed veg, roasted butternut squash and sweet potato that’s out of shot and steamed veg. Roughly 35 gs of protein. There’s also some yuzu kosho on top of that salsa, I highly recommend it for oily fish. If I could eat more I would have had 2 fillets of mackerel which would have made it around 50gs of protein. I also washed it down with a litre of coconut water.

“Real G’s move In silence like lasagna,”
The bf wanted hot chocolate and croissants when we got in from watching fire works so I got to work. You guys will never make either of the below the same again, it’s a little more work but trust me on this you’re gonna love the result. If you want to impress someone with little effort but huge results read the below. It seems like a lot because I’m writing out every single step but if you’re doing it I want you to do it right.
So say you just beat the brakes off some coochie and y’all are chilling in the after glow of budussy or y’all just woke up and you tryna impress her after round 3. If you make this she will be back for more guaranteed. Y’all know I don’t measure so these are rough estimates. So adjust where necessary for desired results, this was for 2 ppl, so if you wanna scale up after that orgy do you boo boo.
Hot chocolate:
You will need
2 table spoons Cocoa Powder (I used pure unsweetened cocoa powder aka baking chocolate for brownies and shyt but any cocoa mix will do)
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons of fresh chopped 100% chocolate
1/4 cup 70% chocolate ( I have the pellets but the bar is also fine, just ensure to chop in advance)
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups whole milk
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract or 1 teaspoon of vanilla paste
1 tablespoons corn starch + 2 tablespoons cold milk to dissolve for desired thickness, you may need to adjust this to your liking as the end result will be similar to liquid melted chocolate.
For your topping you will need
1/4 cup Sour Cream
1 cup heavy cream
2- 3 tablespoons of sugar
1 teaspoon corn starch
Tools
1 medium pot
1 whisk
1 grater or cutting board and knife
2 teaspoons or so for tasting
Method
On a medium flame add your milk and cream to a pot, add your cocoa powder whilst the milk is still cold and whisk till combined. (YOU DO NOT WANT THIS MIXTURE TO BOIL AT ANY POINT)
When the mixture has started to warm to just over room temperature add your 100% dark chocolate and whisk till combined allow to melt and whisk intermittently till melted through
add vanilla snd salt
while that is coming up to temp, in a separate bowl mix your cornstarch and milk to dissolve and put aside.
mix in your 70% chocolate and add your sugar whisk in till melted it will be start to resemble a hot chocolate your are familiar with.
This is where you taste and adjust your sugar. You do not want this hot chocolate to be overly sweet at all.
When you are satisfied with how it taste and it has all come together mix your cornstarch mixture in. Mix continuously till you feel the mixture start to thicken and have some resistance. You can add more cornstarch if the mix is too runny but bear in mind it will thicken as it cools. I wanted my hot chocolate to be the texture of melted chocolate so i added a little more till it was rich and unctious. Turn the stove down as low as possible mixing intermittently so it doesnt thicken too much.
Now mix your whipped cream topping.
Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl till it forms stiff fluffy peaks. You can use canned whipped cream but its not the same, adjust your sweetness as required. Once again you do not want it too sweet.
Pour your rich silky smooth chocolate into a mug top with your whipped cream and add grated chocolate or gold flakes like I did for the wow effect.
For the croissants
I used 1 tube of pillsbury dough croissants, i smeared room temperature butter over them before rolling them up. (This makes all the difference)
I popped them in the freezer for 5 minutes for the butter to solidify then took them out and covered them in beaten egg and sprinkled with rock salt on top. (DO NOT USE TABLE SALT. the granules are too fine and will make your croissants salty)
Bake as per packet instructions and serve warm. They will be much lighter and less doughy.
Enjoy!
