Klappertaart

Young Coconut Custard


Made this upon my sis-in-law's request. The last time she visited me,
I made klappertaart for the first time. When she was coming again a
couple of days ago she asked me if I was going to make the tart. I assume that she liked the one I made last time. Why not? I asked my hubby to buy some young coconuts, however, there's only a siamese coconut which is smaller than the Indonesian one. Still it's alrite to use it.

From one recipe I got two 8" round aluminium foil tins. Once the klappy was cold enough, everybody's ready to dunk theirs spoons into it. Easy guys....haha, my hubby finish almost half of the tin. My niece had more than a scoop. My sis-in-law? Since she's a weightwatcher, she really took her time to enjoy the small scoop that she had. The tin was empty within two hours and with a big smile on my face, delighted that they liked it. Hey...who wouldn't be happy to find your effort was worth the while...?!

Green Tea Tiramisu

Hola! It's been weeks since the last update.

I have suddenly gotten into the green tea madness. Last week I tried to bake chôux pastry, a Japanese style. Irregardless of the experience with my usual recipe of chôux, I considered this one as a fail. But not to be despaired, the green tea pastry cream was amazingly tasty! So, that's why I decided to try another recipe using this maccha (green tea powder).

Sunday morning, I wanted to make something refreshing after my kids recovered from cold & coughing. But still under a no-ice cream and ice cubes strict diet. Therefore, I made the Italian Tiramisu that uses minimal cocoa powder n coffee dipper. I put aside 1/4 of the cream mix to experiment with the maccha. My kids definitely love the original one, but they refuse anything other than chocolate. Thus, my hubby and I could share the GTT just between us :). The taste? AMAZING!! You should try it too! :). Thanks to Keiko Ishida for sharing the idea of making a Green Tea Tiramisu. Arigatou gozaimashita. Haik!



Not to forget to mention about the Lady Fingers biscuits, I had made them on Saturday morning so that I could just start with the Tiramisu anytime later. But, you know what? My Raqi liked them so much because its sponginess and had them all! In the end I woke up early on Sunday to bake the fingers again and right away made the Tiramisu, just in case he wanted to eat them again...hehehhh... True enough, he was so sad that he didn't find more biscuits because I chucked them all in the bowls, under the cream. And today he called me and asked me to bake them again. Ok, sweetie pie...will do that tomorrow morning. What? Oh no, he wants it tonight :?!

Would you say 'no' to a broken voice you heard over the phone?

Klappertaart Wilton

That Sunday, 27 June, my little nephew was coming for a visit with his mother (my SIL) and his older brother and sister. My kids were very excited waiting for his arrival from Bandung.

In the meantime, I found a reason to try out a new recipe that had been going around in the NCC forum. Bought three young coconut at the supermarket, printed out the recipe from Riana's Pennylane Kitchen blogsome and off I went to the kitchen to prepare the dish.

My SIL and kids arrived when the tart went in the oven for the second time with the topping. I think they were also quite excited to see how it'd turned out. But even so, the procedure of having a new dish on the table still applied. They had to wait for me to take the pics... :D. You can imagine how my 17 y.o niece looked so impatient and quickly grab a spoon once I said: "Alrite, ok...done!" But yet I stopped her while she was scooping the tart, "Freeze!" And took a few more pics while she held the spoon in the air. Good job, girl...you are such a good partner in food photography...hehehehhhh

Here you go.....


They happily had the tart. It was yummy and delic...but would be better when served cold. Just couldn't wait for it to be chilled, could they?
