I want to show you my new creation,Tiramisu.Last week,my kids requested me to make a Tiramisu for their Aunt's birthday.I didn't use any eggs (cooked or raw)in my recipe and still can provides the simplest blend of ingredients to form a fast and tasty basic tiramisu.In Italy, Tiramisu recipe are using eggs, sugar, mascarpone, a dash of marsala/Kahlua,espresso-soaked ladyfingers, a whisper of bitter cocoa across the top.I am against eating raw or undercooked egg yolks,whites or products that contain eggs for my kids.So here I created this Tiramisu without using an egg in the recipe.
I was a bit lazy to make ladyfingers for the cake.Just a simple decoration.I only use a basic sponge cake for the base.And dusted with some cocoa powder and decorate it with Chocolate Macaroon where I bought it from a local supermarket.I like to Mascarpone because it has the soft texture unlike cream cheese which is rich in taste.Once you taste it, you can only imagine the difference.
I previously thought that raw egg whites/yolks were OK to eat. ... You know-where I use to eat raw eggs at the Kopitiam.Don't eat raw egg whites every day-It's not good for Your health.Researchers say that, the Salmonella enteritidus bacteria are usually in the yolk .But they cannot rule out the bacteria being in egg whites.If you want to use raw eggs for your tiramisu,you have to ensure that your eggs are very fresh,refrigerated eggs, preferably organic and free-range.Recipe

Recipe
Cocoa and chocolate are my primarily used in desserts.I can make it anytime I want it to.Today,my hand is a bit itchy.It's been quite sometime I didn't bake.I was craving for a chocolate with fresh cream.My daughter can't really to eat it.I need completely cool down the cake before Icing it.Everytime I make a cake I have to serve it immediately.As you can see my fresh cream is not spread evenly.Besides,I don't have a proper palette(patty)knives to use.Mission complete!
Sandwich the cake and decorate it with desire design
Everyone in my family loves egg tart,so these quick version are a hit when I 'm short on time.Belinda saying that she wants to eat egg tart.She were begging me to bake some egg atrt for her the whole day.Luckily,I had kept some frozen tart shells in my freeze.If not won't be able to write my post for my blog.I ran out of milk,so in this recipe I had replace the milk to whipping cream.Not bad.Still managed to bake a dozen of egg tarts today!
Look at this uneven shape of mine macaroon.
Weather is getting cold now.Smell of freshly baked cinnamon rolls is nothing better on a cold weather in the morning.Enjoy warm and delicious cinnamon rolls in the morning really wake me up.This time I prepared the dough the night before and let the rolls rise in .The yeast dough for these cinnamon rolls includes sour cream and lots of butter.I found that adding the sour cream in the dough make the bread soft and kind of like a danish pastry.Cinnamon has always my favorite spice, ever since I ate my very first Cinnamon rolls.Everytime I eat cinnamon rolls,it will remind me of Hum chim peng(Can be savoury and sweet).It is a chinese version of cinnamon rolls but it is fried with oil. My next challenge will be Hum chim peng.
Over baked!:( but still good.This afternoon,I had no idea what to eat.When I looked into my fridge,I found two sheets of roti prata and a can of tuna in my shelf....Here we go!Tuna puff
The holidays are a time for friends and family and home cooking.I believe everyone is making fruitcake to sits on the shelf until the holiday season.So it's no surprise that holiday candied mix often show up in the supermarket and will probably stock different fruit mix brands,on the shelf.The moment I bought this holiday mix remind me that Christmas is coming soon.Eventhough few months away.I think you'll like it even if you usually don't like candied fruits (I usually don't).That's why I didn't put alot candied fruit in my fruitcake.The only ingredients I left out in this recipe are raisins and molasses.Who can resist the tempting smells coming from the kitchen.I can't even wait to eat it and I don't think I can keep it the fridge till christmas.Actually there are many different styles and recipes to choose.Have It Your Way...If there are certain fruits you don't like, you can always include more of another, or some of your own favorites.There are two basic types:-Light fruitcake and Dark fruitcake.I prefer dark fruitcake because it look tempting and I like the molasses aroma. I guess I have to make another batch of fruitcake now!
