PoroSnax Silvanas (Cookies) - A Frozen Treat

You are what you eat... (I am a PORO!)

FUN FACT ABOUT ME #8: I just had my bangs for the first time in 23 Years.

All my life, I’ve been intrigued on how to make French Macarons. I have looked up several recipes, tips and tricks and although I am really eager to try and make them, I just can’t find any almond meal in my location..



In connection to that, I am also fascinated with Sans Rival and Silvanas because of their wonderful flavor and unique texture. Funny, because I have already made my first ever Sans Rival (which I am planning to improve on when I bake my next) and the recipe for Sans Rival, Silvana Cookies and Macarons are almost (take note: almost) similar, yet instead of almond meal, they call for ground cashews. Yum!
 SANS RIVAL (a Filipino Classic)


 With that said, yes I admit I became addicted to making Silvanas. At first, I tried using the macarons technique yet it was a fail. (Hey, nobody gets it right the FIRST time; so I’ve been told!) I didn’t believe that at first. I mean, the flavor and texture was fine but the appearance eeh not much.



I did four tries until I got it just right BUT (yes but) I wanted to make more, something beyond, something different with these classics so… I take my buttercream, made some cookie icing and voila. Poro-themed Silvana Cookies.




If you don’t know what a Poro is, here’s a quick preview: 


I call them PoroSnax because they are Poros we can snack on but the real PoroSnax look like these:


If you are still following me at this point then kudos to you, bes!

Therefore, I conclude since Poros eat PoroSnax; poof they became le PoroSnax themselves! *laughs* I want to be a Poro too... They’re so cute and fluffy just look at em.


Ps: if you are one of those obsessed with League of Legends too then my apologies for not placing Poro Ears slash Horn because I accidentally grounded ALL MY CASHEWS. Noooo!



I haven’t made a video tutorial on this but here’s a link to a whole album of me making em. 

I’ll post the recipe soon.

Hmm… Come to think of it, the Holidays is fast approaching. This will be a great time to make Silvanas rain.


Go then, eat your bread in happiness and drink your wine with a cheerful heart; for God has already approved your works.
