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!

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...

Apam Balik

I love apam balik. The soft one, with lots of corn. So when @khairulaming posted this on his instagram, I bookmarked it. The recipe is not too much until you get sick of eating apam balik, but I do feel it needs some tweaks to get the pancake king version. But not bad for a first try. 2 cups flour 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 2 tbsp melted butter 1 1/4 cups water 1 egg Additional butter for the pan I do feel it needs some salt, more sugar and I shouldn't have liberally made it so thick HAHA. The pan is important too, I kinda burnt some parts of the pancake. Got them bubbles!! This recipe made 2 large pancakes. Also, the filling needs to be sprinkled with sugar liberally (read: 3 tbsp or so), my first try wasn't enough. Pancake was soft even for the next few days after that (kept in the fridge then reheated in the microwave). Husband found it to be acceptable, but I was kinda not okay with it but ohwells. I can tweak it ...

Junior's Development

Nothing on food today. I wanna talk about Junior. He's growing so fast. In a few weeks' time, he'll turn 18 months. He's grown so much, so tall. Junior pretty much understands most of the things we say to him cos he knows when to shake his head if he doesn't want something. But he hasn't learnt to talk yet. I am kinda worried about that, but then Husband didn't talk till after two and that didn't stop him from being a debater. I'm trying to console myself by saying maybe he's a little late, that's all. Not like he has some deficiency or something. Junior keeps changing his preferences. Like now he likes panda bears (he loved Kungfu Panda on okto yesterday!), he doesn't want to solat but he aminkan doa . Things that aren't seasonal are his love for fruits, climbing, biting me (yes, it's been going on for the longest time), and the most sweetest thing, helping out with housework. He will pull the laundry basket out of our room a...
