Matcha Au Lait Agar

Inspired by http://www.phamfatale.com/id_376/title_Matcha-Green-Tea-Agar-Agar-with-a-Sweet-Black-Sesame-Sauce/ I did some modification (as usual :D) I tried making this delicious-looking agar. And YES!!! Its taste is as good as its looks :D I love it!! I didn't serve it with black sesame sauce as my little Tessa is allergic to sesame seed :(

This is really easy to make...


Ingredients:

• 500ml Soyabean milk
• 500ml water
• 100ml Condensed milk
• 1 packet Agar-Agar powder (12g)
• 2 tsp Matcha Green Tea Powder

Method:

Whisk green tea powder in 500ml water till dissolved. Pour everything else in a pot over medium heat, constantly whisking in a slow speed. When everything combined and mixture comes to a boiling point, off the heat and pour into moulds. Then leave to set in refrigerator for at least 2hrs. Decorate as desired :D

These ingredients are available anywhere else ;D

As suggested by Jackie, Mango goes well with this agar dessert. And strawberries adds attractive-ness to its look :D... most importantly, my gals love strawberries :D

Nice dessert cups with cover bought from Sun Lik few months ago :P... finally i can use them :D

Blueberry Cheesecake

I was reading Catherine Lau's Cheesecake Seduction before I go to bed last nite and wanted so much to make a cheesecake this morning when i woke up... After marketing @ NTUC, I was supposed to bath my 2 dogs... instead, I started my cheesecake experiment...

I didn't really follow the ingredients stated as I dun have digestive biscuits at home.. so I used watever I had in my baking cabinet...

The cheesecake turned out well, tasted good except for my very 失败 "self-invented" cake base :( I should have crush them into "powdered form"!! NVM... I learnt something again :P

see... the base is breaking up!! :'(

Ingredients (My version):

Base
60gm Butter
60gm Feulletine
60gm Nestum flakes
60gm Corn flakes, crushed

Filling
500gm Cream Cheese
80gm Caster Sugar
50ml Lemon Juice, Strained
1 tbsp Lemon Zest, finely grated
1 1/2 tbsp Gelatine Powder, dissolved in 100ml water
500gm Nestle All-purpose Cream

Topping
1/2 tbsp Gelatine Powder, dissolved in 50ml water
200gm Blueberry Pie filling

Method

Base

• Melt butter in a pan over low heat. Stir in all crushed base ingredients, Fry until fragrant.
• Pressed into a greased 23cm springform cake pan with the back of a spoon.

• Cover cake pan and refrigerate for at least 30mins.

Filling

• Beat cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice and zest until smooth. Pour in gelatine and mix until combined. Blend in cream
• Pour filling on biscuit base. Cover cake pan. Refrigerate for at least 6 hrs before removing from pan.

Topping

• Dissolve gelatine powder in water, mix together with the blueberry filling. Stir over low heat until mixture combined.
• Pour topping onto cake. Cover and refrigerate until set.

I think the above ingredients actually make a very thick cheese topping... Eat liao sure very "gelat one" ... so I tought of dividing the cheese filling into 2 portions and top up another layer in different flavour... but then, I was lazy... so I did the rest as per below:-

Yes! I bought another batch of plastic cups from Sheng Siong (again! :P) this morning... and very eager to fill them up with something. And I think this mini blueberry cheesecake in jelly cup oso not bad hor?!? ;-P ...At least the base won't break apart ;-P haha!

04 August2009: Peach Jelly

I found these jelly cups from Seng Siong yesterday.. only SGD3.00 for 16 cups! So today I made this batch of jelly for my gals :-) Not bad looking right? Do they look like those Marigold jelly selling @ econ minimarts?

But mine have bigger chunks of fruits :D although they r only canned peach slices :P
