Hey guys it’s Ro!
Welcome to another Nerdy Nummies!
I got so many requests from you guys to make
something from the video
game Assassin’s Creed.
And, not only is Assassin’s Creed a video
game,
it is also a movie now.
So to celebrate, I thought let’s make a themed treat
from
the video game.
One of the things that I like about the game
is whether you’re
climbing a big wall or really tall castle,
as long as you jump off and land
in a haystack it doesn’t damage your HP.
It’s just something that I found really
funny throughout the game and
I really enjoyed.
Today we are going to be making Orange Coconut
Macaroons, to look like little haystacks.
Let’s get started!
I’m so excited for the recipe today, because
we have never made Macaroons on
Nerdy Nummies before, this will be a first!
Not to be confused with the French Macarons,
we’ve made a bunch of those.
But these are like the coconut, Macaroons,
it’s a different cookie,
I’m really excited!
And, it’s the first time that we've ever done something
Assassin’s Creed, so,
I wen’t all out!
The things you will need, will be…
I feel like Dracula…
Oh no, my armor’s coming off!
1, 14 ounce bag of shredded, sweetened coconut,
1/2 a teaspoon of salt,
1/2 a cup of sugar, 3 eggs, we’re only gonna
be using the whites.
And the zest and juice of 1 orange.
Now let’s put it all together!
I love this recipe because it’s super easy
mode!
The first thing that we’re gonna do in a
large mixing bowl, we’re gonna add our eggs.
We just want the egg whites.
How do I know so much about baking you ask?
Well, becasue when you’re training to be
an assassin they teach you baking classes.
Because if you need to impersonate a baker,
you have that skill in your
back pocket.
I also moonlight as a blacksmith!
Sugar, and salt.
Mix together until it starts to get frothy.
I guess all my training came down to this!
That’s what it should look like, now we
are going to zest and juice our orange.
So over here I’ve got a cutting board, a
zester, sharp cutting knife and my orange.
I’m just gonna start by zesting the whole
orange, if you’ve never zested before,
it’s basically like grating cheese, but
when you get down to the white, stop.
You don’t want the white.
Oh that’s what we want!
It smells so good!
And we’re just gonna put this in the bowl.
Then we need the juice from our orange, just
a tip to make it go a little bit
easier, put some pressure on it, roll it with
the palm of your hand,
this is just gonna loosen things up inside
of the orange.
So that when we cut it open, we’re gonna
get some more juice.
I’m gonna take a sharp cutting knife, just
cut it in half, dee-dee-dee-dee! Hold the orange over
the bowl and squeeze!
Ohp!
After you’ve added all of the juice from
the orange, you’re gonna whisk together
one more time, until everything’s well combined.
Final ingredient, now we’re gonna add our
coconut shreds!
This is what’s gonna make them look like
haystacks.
Mix everything together until it’s well
combined.
This will take a little while because there
are a lot of shreds of coconut,
and you want to make sure, oops!
Oh!
That none of them are dry!
This is what it should look like, and it smells
even better now!
I didn’t even know that was possible!
And I haven’t even baked these yet!
OH!
Our cookies almost ready, now we’ve just
got to scoop them onto our baking pan.
Over here I have a baking pan, lined with
a piece of parchment paper so that
they won’t stick while they’re baking.
And, I’ve got a little scoop.
We want a full scoopful.
Like this!
It’s a little bit messy, you’re gonna
get your hands dirty,
we’re gonna get in there, we’re gonna
pack it in.
Transfer it over here onto the baking sheet,
un-scoop it, boop!
And see how it looks like a little dome?
Well now we’re just gonna shape it a little
bit, to turn that dome into a cone,
so that it looks like a haystack.
That’s a big one, that ones mine!
Dibs!
You want to keep them about an inch apart
from each other, so you can fit about
15, 18 on a tray.
Our little Macaroon Haystacks are ready to
bake, you’re gonna heat your oven to
325 degrees and bake these for about 25-30
minutes, as soon as they start turning
a little light golden brown, they’re ready!
Ta-da!
Here are all the Assassin’s Creed Haystack
Macaroons that we made today!
I love this recipe, it’s super easy, and
easy to eat!
They look just like little haystacks!
I found this really cool wooden plate to put
them on, so they’d look a little
midivil-y or whatever!
A big thank you to you guys for suggesting
something
Assassin’s Creed themed, this is the first
time on Nerdy Nummies we have ever
made something inspired from the game, so
I’m super excited.
And it is the first time that we ever made
Macaroons!
The coconut Macaroons, not to be confused
with the French ones!
I’ll be posting lots of pictures and the
recipe on RosannaPansino.com,
Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
And if you guys make these treats, please
take a picture and send it to me,
I love seeing your baking creations, it just
makes me happy, it makes my day!
And, if you have any other ideas for any other
Nerdy Nummies, please let

I will do my best to make it happen!
Thanks again you guys, bye-bye!
These ones are a little too small to jump
into, but…
Not too small to jump into me!
Mah-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah!
Mmmmmm!
