Game of Scones: Oberyn's smashing surprise recipe
- 1 punnet fresh raspberries
- 100 g (3.5oz) chocolate egg, about 12cm tall
- 1 packet strawberry or raspberry jelly
- 100 g (3.5oz) butter, softened
- 175 g (6.2oz) icing sugar, sifted
- 1 handful cashew nuts
- Cut the raspberries into mashed-brain-sized pieces.
- Take the chocolate egg and, using a knife, cut a small hole in the top of the egg towards the back.
- In a jug, make up the jelly as directed on the packet and stir in the raspberries (you should have expected this recipe to be a little fruity), putting it aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, beat the butter and icing sugar together until fluffy.
- Keeping back a very small amount for the tongue, colour the butter cream with black food colour.
- Colour the remaining amount red
- Transfer the black icing to a piping bag fitted with a plain nozzle and add hair and features to the egg.
- Fill in the tongue with the red icing using the tip of a knife.
- Crush the cashew nuts using a large knife and with leftover icing, attach them to the mouth to look like teeth.
- Once cooled and just beginning to set, carefully pour the jelly into the head and leave to set.
- To serve, place your thumbs in the eggs eyes, allowing them to melt the chocolate a little before pushing through and crushing the egg to reveal the jelly inside.
- As the chocolate face gives way beneath your hands, loudly confess to your hideous crimes and watch as your guests quietly make towards the door.
