But aren’t you excited to add something new at your festive tables? Why not try Gardenia’s newest collection of recipes?
Try Gardenia Chocolate Tapioca sandwich, one of Gardenia’s sandwich recipe created by the grand winner of the Gardenia’s Next Big Sandwich Hit, an inter-school sandwich-making and business generation competition conducted recently amongst top universities in Metro Manila.
Create a Japanese-inspired Gardenia sandwich to make this Yuletide season more special. Prepare two slices of Gardenia High Fiber Wheat Raisin Loaf, two tablespoons of chocolate spread, ¼ cup cooked tapioca, ¼ cup strawberry syrup, three tablespoons of cream cheese and a slice honey dew (peeled).
For red tapioca: Combine tapioca and strawberry syrup in a small pan. Boil for a few minutes until tapioca turns red in color. Cool the mixture and set aside.
For the sandwich: Using a small cookie cutter, slice the bread in circle. Spread the cream cheese on top of the bread and cover with another rounded bread. Spread the chocolate all over the sandwich. Roll the peeled honey dew on the outer part of the sandwich and chill for 3 minutes. Before serving, place a spoonful of tapioca on top of the rounded sandwich. Serve.
