Tiramisu

Volunteered to make tiramisu for department lunch but haven't made tiramisu before. Very clever. The recipe I followed was good but was still doubting myself along the way. How much coffee to make, how to even make coffee?! and how much cream to put! How many layers!

This is a no-egg version, less sinful I suppose? Also easier to make.

Safe to say now I have nailed it after trying this twice! Haha. Pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

Tiramisu

1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream (35% fat)
8 oz mascarpone cream (that 1 container)
1/3 cup caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 1/2 cups cold espresso (no sugar)
1 packet lady fingers, Savoiardi brand
Cocoa powder for dusting

  1. Whip cold whipping cream with a whisk attachment on high for a few minutes until volume increases.
  2. Slowly add vanilla and sugar. Whisk further until stiff peaks form. 
  3. Add mascarpone cream and whisk for a while only until combined.
  4. Make coffee! I used espresso powder. Didn't realise need to filter still. Just make it thick and no sugar needed as the lady fingers already have sugar.
  5. Dip the lady fingers quickly (once on each side) and put as the bottom layer in the container.
  6. After one layer is complete, spread with the cream mixture, probably 1cm thickness? Not too much unless you like a lot of cream.
  7. Dust off with cocoa powder and let it chill overnight!


Two layers seem sufficient, I made one with two and one with three layers. 


This is it, with a taste test after leaving it overnight. Sedap omg. Since it was my first time, could've probably used stronger coffee. Probably for the next batch, since I still have 1 tub of mascarpone left in the fridge!

CNY Bakes

Back from the long weekend! Spent two days fully at home, cooking and baking. So happy. Day 1 was sindhi briyani and Almond London . Day 2 was ayam lemak cili padi and a batch of almost Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies , but I split the batter into 2: hazelnut, white chocolate, cranberry combination and hazelnut, dark chocolate chip combination. I made the cranberry ones first, they taste awesome. But after I ate the chocolate chip one, say bye bye to cranberry! Nothing beats chocolate. And the white chocolate chips somehow dissolved into the batter, melted. What to do, it's just white chips from Redman. I should try a better brand instead.  Happy new year indeed!

White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars

 I love these! It's like a blondie but to make me feel less guilty, there's oatmeal. Was supposed to make these and freeze for easy morning breakfasts, but seems like they ran out pretty quickly that it didn't require that much freezing. Original recipe here . I made these almost three months ago and I still think about making these again and again. White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars 2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats 2 cups flour 1 1/2 cups brown sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon vanilla 2 large eggs 1 1/4 cups butter melted 1 cups white chocolate chips 1 cup dried cranberries This is like one bowl mix so anything goes. Spread batter in two 8x8 square tins, bake for 22 min at 180 degrees Celsius.

Daiso Ramekins

Finally finally went to Daiso!! Wanted to go there for ages already! The first thing I came in, went to the cooking section. Found my ramekins! But they're not white. Oh wells. Can't be choosy for $2 ramekins! There were white ones, but super small white ramekins. And pie tarts too! Oooh so tempting! But I don't know when I'll make tarts hurhur. Actually I'm still thinking what I should bake using these ramekins. I remember having one of those "I wish I had ramekins right now" moments but I can't remember when. Maybe when I was making lava cake . Daiso is evil. It's so cheap you just feel like coming back again! Oh and did I mention there's a $2 weighing scale?! Measures up to a kilo but that's quite alright for baking isn't it! I mean, $2!! Dirt cheap lah. Not sure about the accuracy though. Didn't do much cleaning last weekend, very much spent lazing around at home just like what weekends should be like. I love being at ho
