Hard ice cream has more hard texture than the other kind of ice cream because this ice cream is use some whole eggs. This ice cream is made with cream and/or milk, sugar, and may contain eggs, stabilizers and other flavouring ingredients such as vanilla, chocolate, fruit and many other add-ins. Maybe if sometimes you want ice cream that heavier in your mouth just eat this one.

How to Make Ice Cream Without Machine
Image taken from: snowy
Hello everyone. As I told you before I will share about how to make ice cream without ice cream machine. Ice cream has founded far before the electricity, so actually the original ice cream before was made without the machine. At home we are definitely can make delicious ice cream by our own.

These are the steps:

1. Prepare your ice cream mixture, then chill it over an ice bath.
2. Put a deep baking dish, or bowl made of plastic, stainless steel or something durable in the freezer, and pour your custard mixture into it.
3. After forty-five minutes, open the door and check it. As it starts to freeze near the edges, remove it from the freezer and stir it vigorously with a spatula or whisk. Really beat it up and break up any frozen sections. Return to freezer.
4. Continue to check the mixture every 30 minutes, stirring vigorously as it’s freezing. If you have one you can use a hand-held mixer for best results, or use a stick-blender or hand-held mixer. But since we’re going low-tech here, you can also use just a spatula or a sturdy whisk along with some modest physical effort.
5. Keep checking periodically and stirring while it freezes (by hand or with the electric mixer) until the ice cream is frozen. It will likely take 2-3 hours to be ready.

Making the ice cream is so simple right? Enjoy your own ice cream.

Good day everyone, how was your day? Every day is our gift from God, so we need to enjoy our day in order to fill our self with blessed feeling.
How to make tang yuan
Image taken from: chinasichuanfood

Well, today I want to share about how to make Chinese dessert. That’s Tang Yuan. This dessert is so much popular in China, served in many occasions like holiday and festival. The texture of Tang Yuan is soft and chewy maybe you can try this one at home.

To make the black sesame filling, we need black sesame powder or paste. You can try to search some in Asian stores or make your own toasted black sesame and then ground them into powders. In the next post I will share about how to make your own black sesame powder or paste.

Ingredients:

For Black Sesame
1 cup toasted black sesame
1 cup sugar or as needed
1/2 cup of lard or butter, melted
For Tang Yuan
2 cups glutinous rice flour
1 cup water

Instructions
To make the dough:

1. Mix the glutinous rice flour and water to make the dough. Keep kneading for couple of minutes until the smooth; shape the dough into a long log so that you can make similar pieces in the following step.

2. Take one piece and shape it to a bowl carefully. When shaping the bowl, we need to make the bottom thicker while the other parts uniform. If the bottom is too thin, the balls might break during the shaping process. Then scoop around 1/2 tablespoon to 1 tablespoon black sesame filling into the center. Seal the rice dumpling completely. If you are not skilled at sealing balls, try to shape the filling into balls too. This will make the process easier.

3. Shape the balls as round as possible gently.

4. Bring water to a boiling in a pot (the water should be at least 2 cm higher than the balls); cook the rice dumplings for 5-6 minutes or until they float on the surface.

5. Scoop out with the soup and serve with sugar, or sweet osmanthus or syrup.
Tang Yuan usually is served warm with syrup, sugar or fermented glutinous rice. In some parts of China, people love to eat meat dumplings with a savory soup base. You need to scoop one up and gently take one bite. Then say hello to the lovely filling.

Well, that’s all how to make this popular dessert. I hope you can try and enjoy this one. Have a nice day…

The History of Baked Alaska

/ No Comments
Good day everyone… how was your day? I hope you still have more time to enjoy with the things that you like.

Well, today I want to tell you about a cute dessert that for me, has a really good story. That’s Baked Alaska or also known as glace au four, omelette à la norvégienne, Norwegian omelette and omelette surprise. Baked Alaska was a spectacular cake, topped with solidly frozen ice cream, the whole enveloped in meringue, then browned and served still warm from the oven.
The History Of Baked Alaska
Image taken from: foodnetwork

When I read this dessert name I just wondered about what kind of relation between this dessert and Alaska. After I read the history, I’m amazed with the fact that this food is made when United States purchase Alaska from Russia in 1867 by Charles Ranhofer, chef at the famous Delmonico's restaurant in New York. Firstly it was called as Alaska Florida Cake but soon changed to Baked Alaska.

Far before that day, in 1802 according to some historians, Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), third president of the United States from 1801-1809, was one of the first to serve ice cream at a state banquet in the White House. He is reported to have served ice cream encased in hot pastry at a White House dinner during his presidency. Although the name came much later, it is likely that this was a dish similar to Baked Alaska.

After I know about this history, I just really want to try this dessert, not only because this dessert contains my favorite (ice cream) but also I want to try this one because I want to enjoy the feeling of the winer that the United States felt when they grabbed Alaska, or imagining the feeling if I eat that dessert in the White House with president Thomas Jefferson. Ha-ha, just ignore me.

The most important thing that I want to tell you is everything was have their own history, including the food that you eat every day. That’s mean they are life with us, and we always have our own chance to take a lesson from them, every one of them. Just respect everything that we got. Because they are special by their own.

If you have ever enjoyed this dessert, please tell me how amazing is that in the comment below. Have a good day, see you next time…
