Vol Au Vent with Lemon Cream

I was browsing FoodGawker again... and guess what? I had craving for those many-many layers puffy Vol Au Vent pastry :P And I remember I have some frozen cases in my freezer and I made these.... really fast! everything is done within 20mins or so.... :D

Thaw those frozen cases on table top while u Preheat oven @ 220°c... then bake for 7mins, take out of oven and brush the top with some egg wash. Then put them back to bake for another 5-6mins. When done, leave them to cool on table-top....

Then u prepare the Lemon filling... I use the 2mins Jell-O solution :D

Add the whole pack of Jell-O powder with 300ml of milk and mix for 2mins using a electric mixer @ high speed.

Lightly Dust the Baked Puff-ed cases with some snow powder. Then fill the hollow with some Jello Lemon cream.... and they r DONE!!

But I feel that my fussy Nyx will not be satisfied with just THAT!! so I added some cherry topping :D And I've got this can of Cherry Pie filling in my baking cabinet for sometime oredi... I better use them b4 they expire (again):P

The Effect is kind of 画蛇添足to me:P BUT Nyx might like them this way... KIDS!! they just like colourful stuff!! dun they??? ;-)

Cherry Vol Au Vent with Lemon Cream

Picasa can only allow me to blog few pix at a time.... so I put this in another post.... Haha... it seems like I have lots of postings :P anyway, These Cherries added some colours to my Lemon Cream Vol Au Vents... I Think they now look more appetizing for my fussy Nyx ;-)

And I'm glad she said they looked very nice and she want to eat them after her shower :D I'm glad!!! Okie.... I'm going to prepare her dessert now!

Lazy Lunch by Lazy mom :D....

Its a sunny, hot afternoon and I was busy the whole morning with my household chores. I'm too lazy to go out to get lunch for my gals so I made this lazy lunch for them....

I have some pastries left in my freezer... and i started my lazy lunch preparations.

My Lazy Vol au Vent is ready :D

Wait... I have more tricks!

Dessert :-P'''''

And my gals love it!! :D

I'm most contented when I see them finish their food :D

Vol Au Vent

I saw this ready-made puff-pastry cases @ Cold Storage last week. Oh! So convenient!!

I recalled an aunty @ Richard's baking class asking him what is the difference between those ready-made pastry and those we make on our own?? Richard's very classic answer was " 买的就不用自己动手做咯!!" hahahaaa... so funny:D

This is really so simple... I prepared everything within 25mins!

Just need to thaw the pastry sheet on table-top for 10mins while I pre-heat my oven @ 220c. Then I boil eggs and thaw my frozen stuff. Brush the pastry sheets with egg wash. Place the pastry in the oven for 7mins while i shred the cheese and prepare the fillings. Then take out the half-baked cases, put in the fillings, topped with cheese and bake for another 10mins. Done! :D

Whats in the cases?

1. Prawns
2. Mashed hard-boiled egg with mayonnaise dressing and shredded crab-stick
3. Diced sausages and shredded crab-stick

and i topped all the above with 50gm of shredded cheddar cheese & a tiny stem of broccoli flower

The taste is as good as its looks!
