Our friend Aaron created this fabulous dessert burger for the “Alternative Burger” category of our Burger-Palooza contest. It truly was the most creative of the bunch. He talked to a local donut shop (who thought he was crazy) and ordered a dozen unfilled (glazed) jelly donuts – which he turned into hamburger buns. He baked up a batch of double chocolate chunk cookies for the patties, made his own marshmallow fondant (I’ve never even made fondant) to create the “provolone” cheese. He used Smucker’s Strawberry Squeeze Jam to mimic the ketchup, a tube of yellow #5 cake frosting for the mustard and he sorted through gummy worms to find the yellow and green ones to cut up to create hamburger relish.
Freakin’ Brilliant!
While we were all running around the kitchen like chickens with our heads cut off… Aaron’s entry was already prepared and ready for judging. He did all his prep and baking at home. We set up the mini burger bar and everyone could top their dessert burgers as they wished.
A dozen of these babies and a direct quote from Aaron – “A little love (and diabetes) in every bite!” 🙂
I can’t wait to share the other burgers and recipes with you.
