To honor the latest Ghostbusters film remake, creative and experimental chef and blogger Dude Foods has put together a deep fried Twinkie recipe that incorporates lime flavoring and a crispy texture that replicates the infamous villain, Slimer. The creature is a ball of neon green goo that menaces the Ghostbusters team.
The dessert recipe makes use of the Key Lime Slime Twinkies that were a limited edition flavor released to market specifically for the film. The Twinkies have a distinctive citrus taste and a matching bright green filling. Dude Foods adds a mint custard to the pre-packaged treats and then fries them so that the centre lime filling centre is warm and gooey. Then they are served with green icing and sprinkles.
