If there's one thing you expected from the Queen of Rock N Roll, it was the unexpected. The incomparable Tina Turner was born Anna Mae Bullock in Nutbush, Tennessee. A life filled with atmospheric highs and catastrophic lows, her journey to joyful and peace filled superstardom is the stuff of movies. Literally.
The treat we've designed in her honor is reminiscent of two classic treats - carrot cake and a rice krispie treat. Carrot cake because it was the dessert for which Ms. Tina was known. But there was no way a straightforward carrot cake cookie would be enough of a showstopper for the Queen. So we got outside of the box.
After considering Tina's love of Chinese cuisine, we decided to take the distinctive elements of carrot cake - carrots, walnuts, currants, mandarins (not pineapple due to an allergy) - and literally fold them into a type of marshmallow nougat known as snowflake crisp (created in Taiwan, popularized in China, and made viral by TikTok).Â
The treat contains just enough spice to do a private dance in the brain and transport you in the direction of simply the best carrot cake you've ever had.Â
