Creamy Iced Coffee

Coucou tout le monde,

For about two weeks now, we are still under lockdown to cover the whole country to control the spread of COVID-19. Like other countries in Europe or in Asia, this confinement time most likely last at least six weeks or more. Stay at home and be save everyone!

I came across this creamy drink call 'dalgona coffee' trending on social media and it went viral lately. It looks so tempting and I decided to make my own dalgona coffee at home. It was so easy to make and needs only hand mixer or whisk to begin with. I made coffee first and creamy iced chocolate the next day. I might try with matcha green tea some other time. For now, lets make dalgona coffee or dalgona chocolate!

Asian Peanut Pancake

Hey,

Since everyone is at home right now, I'm sure most of us will do a house cleaning, cooking, baking, watching TV and movies and so forth. Be safe, restez à la maison and take a good care of everyone we love.

It seems for the time being during this confined situation, I'll cook and bake more than usual. I made a tea time snack, Asian style peanut pancake or "apam balik" few days ago, and also some other dessert that I've made everyday since last week. I don't eat a lot of sweets but I make quite a lot of dessert recently.

ASIAN PEANUT PANCAKE "APAM BALIK"

Ingredients;

1 cup flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
3/4 cup water
1 tablespoon butter, melted

For the filling;

Roasted peanuts, crushed
Sugar
Creamy sweet corn
Butter

METHOD;

- Mix all ingredients and whisk until smooth.
- Let the batter rest for at least 1 hour.
- Brush some butter on a pan, and once the pan is hot over low heat, scoop a ladle of batter and spread it evenly.
- Let the pancake cook until the bubbles come up, begin to sprinkle some sugar, peanuts and creamy sweet corn. Add small dollops of butter and fold the pancake in half.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, slice and serve.

Enjoy the apam balik!

Vanilla And Yam Jelly

Hello,

Jelly or agar-agar as we called it in Malaysia, one of the common dessert that everyone can do it at home. It's so easy and just need a few ingredient and it takes only a few minute to prepare, the rest we let it set in the fridge for a few hours and voila! The jelly is ready!

I brought a few packet of agar-agar the last time I went on holiday in Asia and every time I think about my childhood dessert, I just had to make it.

VANILLA AND YAM JELLY

Ingredients;

10g agar-agar striped
2 cups water
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup evaporated milk
Vanilla and yam flavour

METHOD;

- Soak the agar-agar striped in a water for a few minutes.
- Boil 2 cups water and add agar-agar, boil until dissolve, add sugar and let it boil for a couple of minutes.
- Add in evaporated milk, stir and turn off the fire.
- Divide the mixture into two parts and pour the first part in a pan, add in vanilla extract/essence, stir and leave to set.
- For the other half, continue to simmer over low heat, add in yam flavour, stir and once the other half still warm and hard enough, pour onto the first part.
- Let it cool for a while and leave to set in the refrigerator.

Enjoy the agar-agar!

Cookie And Cream Cheese Layered Cake

Hola! Coucou!

Since we have a quite difficult situation right now because of coronavirus that spread around the globe, I believe that most of us would stay at home as a precaution and avoid contact with people as much as possible. We just need to give a full cooperation and follow the advice that given by our government as well as everyone must practise good hygiene to protect against infection and prevent the virus from spreading, protect our self and others, as simple as that.

I have not updating or posting anything here since January and now it's time to do so. I've made a few very simple no-bake dessert recently and it seems I have to do it again because someone really like the cookie and cream cheese layer cake. It had tasted like no-bake cheesecake, so easy and yet so yummy!

1 or 2 packet graham cracker/ petit beurre
250g mascarpone or cream cheese
200ml heavy cream
