Lemon-Vodka Cream Pops

2010-07-03T13:10:00.000+08:00

A splash of citron vodka gives the classic creamsicle a decidedly adult kick.

Ingredients:

Directions:

Using a vegetable peeler, remove all of the zest from 3 of the lemons in 3- to 4-inch-long strips. Set the lemons aside.
Combine the lemon zest, cream, milk, sugar, and salt in a large saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Let steep at room temperature, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes.
Squeeze 2/3 cup juice from the reserved lemons (juice the fourth lemon, if necessary). Stirring constantly, pour the lemon juice into the cream mixture in a slow stream. Stir in the vodka.
Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a 4-cup glass measure (or any container with a spout for easy pouring), pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Divide the mixture among eight 3-oz. pop molds or wax-lined paper cups. Freeze until just barely set, 5 to 6 hours. Insert craft sticks and freeze until completely set, about 2 hours more. When ready to serve, unmold or peel off the paper cups.

Bellini Pops

2010-06-30T14:04:00.000+08:00

The combination of ripe summer peaches and Prosecco makes for a sweet frozen treat that tastes a lot like the popular cocktail.

Ingredients:

Directions:

Stir the peaches, sugar, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to medium, and simmer, stirring frequently, until the mixture is thick and syrupy, 10 to 15 minutes. Most of the peaches will have broken down, with some softened chunks remaining.
Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Add the Prosecco and blend briefly to incorporate it. Let the mixture cool to room temperature and then refrigerate until cold.
Divide the mixture among ten 3-ounce pop molds or wax-lined paper cups and freeze until just barely set, about 1-1/2 hours. Insert craft sticks and freeze until firm, at least 6 hours more. When ready to serve, unmold or peel off the paper cups.

Chocolate Tofu Pops like Fudgesicle

2010-06-29T15:36:00.007+08:00

I just bought Popsicle molds from Japan Home and I'm trying to make full use of it. So far I have made milk coffee, milk tea, pure honey, ribeina and milk pops. I would really love those creamy ice pops and chocolate pops where I used to eat at 40¢ each when I was younger.

I'm not picking on someone when I decided to do this pops but cream is way too expensive and a girl needs more healthy proteins and keep it low fat too :P

Egg Pressed Bread Sandwich

2010-06-24T11:04:00.007+08:00

This is a crappy entry for the day. Its so simple to make that anyone can do it with their eyes closed , but it is also the favorite thing to be done in my kitchen these days.

I bought a Kenwood SM360 sandwich/griller/waffle machine i think early this year. :D was thinking of making waffles at home all the time. Waffles was a disaster.. -_-

I had to make them into pancakes later....

I guess making waffles is either out of the question or I'm simple too stupid to know how to make nice waffles. :(

Since then, I only use the griller/panini function on this machine which i love it to bits! Its a staple for breakfast and suppers nowadays. Everyone loves it and the machine has been on the kitchen counter like forever.

Ingredients:

2 eggs
2 slice of cheese
4 slices of bread (use nice bread)
butter for bread
cooking oil for egg frying

Directions:

Preheat the griller and butter the bread while you are at it. Press the buttered bread with the griller once you see the green light on the machine.
While the bread are being toasted, fry egg as you like. Put them aside once you are done.
Arrange the cheese, eggs and top with another toasted bread and you are done.

*Reason I do not press the sandwich in the griller because I don't like to clean up the grill when the cheese melts. my method above will also melt the cheese properly. :D

Lots of troubles these few days

2010-06-23T16:14:00.003+08:00

Work wasn't as smooth sailing as I wanted to these days. As the most junior staff here in the team, I'm back at the receiving end of the line of work again. Making things worst would be the long line of pple to "approve" the design that is done by me.

I guess it just part of life. I'm just working for the paycheck of mine, not for interest. Til then, just listen to whatever others wants me to do.

Mum's back in hospital due to lung infection and also kana "qi" by some of her sisters.

ONE NASTY ASS even called her to scold/accuse her on a "crime" of making her lose face. Names shall not be mention here.

I really want to earn enuff $$ to send my parents to some place where they can enjoy their retirement and never have to see those jackass relatives of mine anymore.

I intent to make them severed all tie with them and live my life as I like.

DON"T EVER COME TO ME OR MY FAMILY FOR ANYTHING ANYMORE!!! ALL ARE NOT WELCOME AS ALL ARE SAME TYPE OF PPLE.

Alice Medrich's Sicilian Chocolate Gelato

2010-06-14T14:02:00.000+08:00

Sicilian ice cream! What luck to find something rich and delicious that is also relatively low in fat, at least compared with the ice cream we are accustomed to. Sicilian gelato is made with neither eggs nor cream, only milk with a little cornstarch to provide a pudding-like thickness. The chocolate flavor will reflect the type and quality of cocoa that you use; a high quality natural cocoa has much more complexity and liveliness than Dutch-process, but you can use either.

If you have ice pop or Popsicle molds, Sicilian gelato makes a better Fudgsicle than any you may remember.

Use the best cocoa, natural or Dutch-process.
Makes about 1 quart

Ingredients

3 cups whole milk

2/3 cup sugar

¾ cup premium unsweetened cocoa powder (natural or Dutch-process)

1½ tablespoons cornstarch

Procedure

In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of the milk to a simmer over medium heat.

Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 1 cup milk with the sugar, cocoa and cornstarch in a bowl. Scrape the cocoa mixture into the hot milk. Cook stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and bubbles a little at the edges. Boil gently, stirring, for 2 minutes longer. Scrape into a bowl and let cool. Cover the mixture with plastic wrap (when cool) placed directly against the surface and chill overnight.

Freeze according to the instructions for your ice cream maker. Because the mixture is slightly thick to begin with, it may take less time than usual to freeze and thicken to the desired consistency.

White Sangria Mocktail

If you knew me well, you know I love to drink. :D

It’s been a while since I touched a drink I like or went out with friends for a drink since some of them can't drink. On top of this, my family has 2 non-drinkers and my sisters are not fond of bitter wine. So it not like I can open a bottle of wine and finish it myself. My sisters and I especially love Sangria because it tastes sweet and citrus. White Sangria is a flavorful wine punch combining fresh fruit and juices with white wine. So this mocktail was created so it can be shared with everyone! :D
