LVL: ☆

these are some creme brulee with caramelised banana slices :] im not a sweets-lover, its funny because i love to make desserts .. yet i dont eat them? hahahha -_______- but this was the first time i tasted creme brulee, its actually pretty nice! could be veryvery addictiveeeeeeeeee. one spoonful? i dont think it will be enough for anyone! hahahah!!
i enjoyed making the decorations. although it was so annoying everytime the caramel started to harden up again!

recipe: makes 10 portions

500ml milk
500ml cream
1 vanilla pod, split
5 eggs
5 egg yolks
120g castor sugar
100ml milk

method:
  • heat milk, cream, vanilla pod to just below boiling
  • in a bowl, beat together eggs, egg yolks + sugar
  • add hot milk, cream mixture into eggs + mix well
  • strain through fine strainer + pour into souffle|ramekins dishes
  • place dishes in water bath and cook in oven at 150ÂșC for 45-60mins (really just check up on them, you'll know they are rdy when you sort of shake the dishes and the creme is a little wobbly)
  • remove brulee and chill (you can serve them hot or cold)
  • dust heavily with sugar, use a blow torch or salamander to caramelised the top.




chocolate steamed pudding LVL: ☆

these little buggers were pretty annoying! hahaha!! some were successful, some werent so successful. you'd think .. wouldnt this be sucha easy one to make? could have been i guess, but first attempt at it wasnt so perfect =P

id advise anyone first attempters out there to get everything ready before you start this. MIS EN PLACE ;] so whip your egg white & sugar first, then make your mixture so they are ready to be combined all together :]
