Gastronomic Skulls

This typical sweet not only refers to one of our most celebrated holidays, but it can also be prepared in different ways to suit all tastes. There are artisans who have been handcrafting sugar skulls for centuries. These individuals shape the sugar to give it the desired form and then decorate it with bright, vivid colors. You don't need to have the same expertise to create some homemade ones, as nowadays it is easy to find containers in the same shape that will make your skulls turn out perfect. Once you have the mold, the easiest thing is to let your imagination run wild and fill them to your liking. Of course, the most classic would be to fill them with sugar or milk chocolate as is customary. But why not take it a bit further and start inventing new flavors? One example could be white chocolate, which creates an even more attractive canvas to decorate. How about some made with batter? Just pour the pancake batter into the skull mold and bake to get fluffier, softer ones. Now, if your idea is to make these skulls in a less calorie-laden way, that can also be achieved. Without a doubt, an amaranth skull with honey sounds appetizing and is not fattening at all. Another option is to mix some yogurt with gelatin and use that mixture to make small yogurt puddings; you can easily decorate them with jams and get a healthy dessert instantly very fitting for this time of year. Of course, in this option, it is ideal to refrigerate them until they reach the desired consistency. Of course, all skulls can be those to eat as well as those to read and recite. If you have ever created this type of verse about the skeleton and death, then you will enjoy the following lines that, while giving a cruel ending to the character in question, speak of the topic we are most passionate about here: food. “Ricardo was eating a cake, 
the skeleton arrives and takes him away on a steed, 
he said: I take you for being gluttonous, 
even rolling, I take you to the cemetery, 
now his family puts his offering, and Ricardo, even dead, goes to eat his snack.” “Once there was a skeleton that ate too much 
and composed everyone so that its abuse would become more obtuse.” “Who would have thought that the grim reaper would be scared, 
upon seeing Juliana and knowing she wouldn't die, 
She had prepared all her life 
Taking care of her body, she knew she would endure, 
The skeleton went away very sad down the path, 
While Juliana smiled, healthy, with a whole body.”   Skull Recipes Amaranth Skull Recipe Ingredients: - 800 milliliters of water - 500 grams of piloncillo - 2 tablespoons of vinegar - 400 grams of amaranth - colored sprinkles - individual skull-shaped molds Find the steps to prepare this recipe by clicking here.   Chocolate Skull Recipe Ingredients: - 500 grams of chocolate - individual skull-shaped molds - 2 egg whites - 4 cups of powdered sugar - artificial coloring Click here to see how to prepare this recipe.   Sugar Skull Recipe Ingredients: - 2 cups of powdered sugar - 1 tablespoon of light corn syrup - 1 egg white - 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract - 1/3 cup of cornstarch - artificial coloring in various colors To see the steps to prepare this recipe click here.   Are you up for making your skulls or writing a calaverita?
