Peanut Butter Chocolate Cheese Tart

Made this gem on my daughter's first birthday party. Found the resepi in mom's magazine - Saji, snapped a pic and balik rumah buat. Super easy yet yummy. As usual, altered to my preference.

Ingredients:-
60ml fresh milk
90gm cooking chocolate
226gm cream cheese (i used a block of cream cheese)
125gm icing sugar (i used 100gm, and yet I still feel I need to reduce the sugar amount)
240ml cream (i used a small box of thicken cream)
1 tsp vanilla essence
250gm digestive biscuits (I used cream-o choc biscuit + melted butter)
125gm peanut butter (I used peanut butter with chocolate)

Method:-
1.Crumb the biscuit dan padatkan as the base of the tart. Set aside.
2. Heat the milk and melt the cooking chocolate. Put aside.
3. Cream the peanut butter, cream cheese, vanilla and sugar.
4. In another bowl, whip the cream. Take 1/3 of the whipped cream and mix with no. 1.
5. Fold in the balance of cream to no.1.
6. Pour the mixture on the prepared base.
7. Pour the choc ganache. Serve chill.

:: Longan & Strawberry Pudding ::

My younger twin son, Adib grabbed a can of longan during our weekly visit to the grocery store. Using Kak Hanieliza’s lychee pudding recipe, I altered it according to what I imagine.

It turned out great!


:: Ingredients ::
1 packet of agar-agar (I used the strand type)
1.5 l of water
1.5 cup sugar (I used not even 1.5 cup, almost 1.5 cup)
1 can of longan
1 can of evaporated milk
2 tsp of strawberry emulco (it would be great to have fresh strawberry I think)

:: Method ::
1. Separate the longan from its syrup. Set aside.
2. Boil water, sugar and agar-agar till dissolved.
3. Once dissolved, add it the evaporated milk and stir well.
4. Set aside ¼ of the mixture in another bowl. Mix in the strawberry emulco.
5. Pour in the longan syrup in the remaining mixture. Mix well.
6. Prepare some containers for the jelly. First pour in the strawberry.
7. Once the strawberry layer is set, pour in the longan mixture.
8. Add in some longan chunks in the jelly.
9. Serve cool.

Note : the jelly is soft. Pretty hard to take out from mould. Would recommend individual serving to avoid embarrassment. :p

:: my kunun² famous triffle ::

pic courtesy of sharp

if i'm not mistaken, i got this original recipe from miss hanieliza's pages. and i've been sticking to this recipe as it turns out superbly yummy.

moist chocolate cake (u can choose any cake actually, but to me choccy cake is the best)
1 tin of peach/fruit cocktail
4 cups of fresh milk
4 tablespoon custard powder
3 tablespoon sugar
few drops of vanilla essence (i've been dreaming to use vanilla pod instead)
whipped cream
1 packet of instant strawberry jelly
some whipped cream
grated chocolate (optional)

1. cube cakes or u can even crumble it up to get nice, even surface. place in a clear glass container. (i like pyrex - easy to handle)
2. pour over the juice from the fruit cocktail. set aside.
3. in a pan, pour in milk, sugar, custard powder and vanilla. put in on a medium heat and keep whisking to avoid curdles.
4. cook until it thicken a bit. (i like it smooth - not too hard, not too runny)
5. pour the custard over the cake. set aside.
6. cook the instant jelly as per instruction. for muslims, watch out the contents yeah.
7. while cooking the jelly, arrange the peaches/cocktails on top of the custard.
8. when the jelly is cooked, pour it over the fruits layer and set aside.

optional
1. whipped some cream and add drops of vanilla essence in it.
2. decorate the triffle with the cream as u wish. (seriously, triffle tastes a lot better with cream.. very sinful)
3. top it with grated choccy.

enjoy!
