Our family was very excited about the release of the new Sonic X Shadow Generations video game last week, so of course we had to have a meal featuring recipes from Sonic the Hedgehog: The Official Cookbook! Turkey is the Sonic expert in our house, so he planned the menu, as well as how the food was styled. He decided on two Sonic recipes and two Shadow recipes, displayed on either side of the central dish:
The main course was the “Big Ring Party Platter”…with a twist. Instead of shaping it like the rings Sonic is famous for, I turned into an “X” like the game logo.
For the Sonic side of the menu, we had two blue dishes. One we had tried previously…the “Pure Hydrocity” drink. New was “My Sweet Passion,” a cake roll made with blue spirulina powder, a new and fun ingredient for me…I couldn’t believe how vibrant the color was!
On the Shadow side of things, we had “Caffeine Control,” a drink made with coconut milk and topped with a mixture of cream plus cocoa and espresso powders, and “Edge of Darkness,” a coffee-flavored crème brûlée that was divine!
We also watched Turkey play through the game, and it was a lot of fun…I’m glad we had the time to make a special little celebration!
