Once again, Disney+ has shelled out yet another recipe from The Simpsons, serving up Marge’s famous dessert dogs, complete with mini-hotdog Twinkies.

As quarantine has seen us going through a cooking bonanza, since we can’t wine and dine in our favourite restaurants, Disney+ has taken it amongst themselves to team up with multiple celebrity chefs to teach us how to make some of the best recipes from The Simpsons.

First, they showed us how to make the decadent moon waffles from Homer. Next up, it was Principal Skinner’s classic steamed hams. Then, we got a taste of good ol’ Maggagie’s birthday cake. We even, sadly, got to learn how to cook Pinchy.

Now, they’re shelling out an entirely new recipe – Marge’s dessert dogs.

Created for a bake-off, Marge states that “in the Oven Fresh bake-off, clever presentation is as important as taste, so I’m entering my Dessert Dogs.”

Composed of deep-fried cookie dough, with meringue buns, cherry ketchup, and caramel mustard, they surely fool over the eyes.

Although Disney+’s recreation takes on a bit of a different flavour profile, it still sounds divinely delicious.

Marge’s Dessert Dogs

Ingredients:

  • 6 Twinkies
  • 125g Yellow Candy Melts
  • 1 Cup Red Frosting
  • 6 Clean, Dry Mustard Packets
  • 1 Packet of Round Vanilla Cookies
  • 4 White Chocolate Mud Cake Layers
  • 2 Batches Buttercream Frosting (1 Blue + 1 Red)
  • 250g Softened Butter
  • 10 Cups Powdered Sugar
  • 2 Tsp Vanilla
  • 175ml Cream
  • 175g Yellow Melts
  • 175g White Chocolate

Method:

For Dessert Dogs:

  1. Slice a thin “V” lengthways into the top of each Twinkie.
  2. Using a round piping tip, pipe in a red frosting line to resemble a hot dog sausage.
  3. Melt the yellow candy melts & place in a zip seal bag.
  4. Cut a small corner of the bag and pipe the shape of pouring mustard (approx. 10cm long).
  5. Press a clean dry mustard packet into the top of each candy melt shape and let it set.
  6. Once completely set, gently peel the mustard spill off the parchment paper.
  7. Stand the mustard spill up, pressing it directly downwards into the frosting sausage.
  8. Reheat the remaining candy melts and pipe a wavy mustard line on top of each dessert dog.

For the Cake:

  1. Carve each cake layer 3″ high, so it is slightly rounded on top, and flat on the bottom.
  2. Flip the cake layers so the flat side is facing upwards.
  3. Using a serrated knife, cut a circle approx. 2cm from the edge, all the way around the cake, only allowing the knife to penetrate around 1.5cm into the cake layer.
  4. Cut across the centre of the circle and use the knife to hollow out the rest of the circle.
  5. Brush with sugar syrup (1pt sugar dissolved in 1pt boiling water) and fill the hollowed circle with red frosting.
  6. Chill for 30 minutes.
  7. Heat the cream, yellow candy melts, and white chocolate together (check at 1 min intervals in the microwave) & stir until smooth. Cool to body temperature.
  8. Take the chilled cakes and use a round piping tip to make little holes all through the red frosting, not touching the bottom of the frosting layer.
  9. Pour over cooled ganache, making sure it doesn’t pool on the sides of the cake layers.
  10. Chill for 15 mins.
  11. Stack the cakes, yellow side up, into a tall stack.
  12. Apply blue frosting with a piping bag only to the outside of the cake, making sure to squeeze frosting right in between each layer.
  13. Smooth the frosting out using a scraper or a clean, dry ruler.

For the 3D Mini Dessert Dogs

  1. Cut or break the cookies so you have pairs of small half circles.
  2. Press 2 half circles, rounded side out, into the frosting like a taco. Place these all over the cake.
  3. Pipe a red frosting sausage in between each pair of cookie halves and squeeze the two sides together so they resemble more of a bun, than a taco.
  4. Use the leftover cooled ganache in a zip sealed bag to pipe tiny mustard squiggles on top of each hotdog.
  5. Top the cake with Marge’s Dessert Dogs, serve, and enjoy!
