Hey guys, it’s Ro, and….
Welcome to another Nerdy Nummies!
In honor of Metal Gear Solid V coming out, I thought we should make a treat!
I used to play a lot of Metal Gear Solid III, and in the game you scavenge
for food. You eat snakes, rats, frogs, and even Hornets Nests!
So I thought, let’s make a treat that looks like a delicious
Hornets Nest from the game!
Let’s get started!
To make these Baked Peach Hornets Nests, the things you will need, will be:
Some fresh peaches, I’ve got four over here, and then I’ve got ready-made
pie crusts, you can either use ready-made or use a from scratch recipe,
whatever you’d like, a baking sheet, some raw turbinado sugar to
sprinkle on top, a pinch of cinnamon.
And then for the sauce on top you’re gonna need: 1/2 a stick of butter,
1 tablespoon of heavy cream, 1/4 cup of powdered sugar, and a
tablespoon of honey.
Now let’s put it all together!
The first thing that we’re gonna do is roll out our dough, and then we’re gonna
cut thin strips, about 1/4 to 1/2 an inch wide.
After you’ve cut the strips of pie dough crust, you’re gonna wash your
peaches, and while they’re a little bit damp we’re gonna wrap them in the crust.
And what I’ve done, is I’ve flipped them upside down, and you’re gonna start
with the bottom as the top, you’re gonna take the littlest piece of pie crust,
and what I do, is I just wrap it around the circle on the top.
And then you’re gonna continue to wrap circles all the way down,
over-lapping them just a little bit, so that they’ll look like a nest.
Once your little peach is completely covered, we’re gonna make the top design,
so you’re just gonna take some of your excess dough, and I’m just gonna
roll it into a ball. And place it here and shape it to look like the
top of a nest.
Now we’ve got our little peaches wrapped, and I’m going to coat them with
a little bit of sugar. So you’re gonna take a little pinch of sugar,
doo-loo-loo-loo! And I’m just going to sprinkle them around and press them
into the sides. And then on top you’re just going to do a very small pinch
of cinnamon. Very small!
I can’t see, am I sprinkling this on the peach?
Hold on, mmmm!
Ah! I was sprinkling behind the peach!
These little guys are ready, and now you’re going to heat up your oven to
375, and you’re gonna bake these for about 35 to 40 minutes,
keep your eye on ‘em, awh! Keep your eye on ‘em!
And when they start to turn a little golden brown, they’re ready!
While our Peach Hornet Nests are baking, we are going to make our
butter-cream sauce! The first thing that you’re going to do is, melt your butter.
So you’re gonna take your butter, put it in the bowl, and then
I’m gonna heat this up in the microwave for about 10 seconds.
Now you’re gonna pour in your heavy cream, powdered sugar, and 1 tablespoon
of honey. And now you’re just gonna whisk it together, until it’s evenly combined.
Once your Peach Hornet Nests have baked, we’re gonna give them just a few
minutes to cool. You still want them to be warm, but you want to be able to pick ‘em up,
and I’ve put them onto a little serving plate.
And now you’re just gonna take a little spoon, and we’re gonna drizzle a little
bit of this honey sauce on top.
Ta-da! Here are the Metal Gear Solid Baked Peach Hornets Nests!
I hope you guys liked them, these were so much fun to make, and, they’re
super unique! If you like Peach Pie, I think you will love this recipe!
They are like individual peach pie pockets!
I’m so excited for the new game and I will be posting lots of pictures on
Facebook, Tumblr, Instagram and Twitter! And if you guys make these,
