Raspberry Chocolate Overnight Oatmeal

It is a popular overnight oatmeal recipe. It is very forgivable, you can add in anything you like as long as they are edible. LOL.

I bought some mason jars and decided to make this since I saw that it is very popular on the net.

For this recipe, I put in 1 cup of rolled oats, 1 cup of almond milk, 1 tbsp of cocoa powder, 2 tbsp of honey, some fresh raspberries, some toasted sunflower seeds. Put on the lid and put it in fridge overnight. The oat will soak in all the milk, and make it soft. You can enjoy your healthy version of overnight oatmeal with any other favorite ingredients of yours!

Pork Floss Mayonnaise Bread

This is another bread baking project I made that contains pork floss. I love pork floss on anything! IT is very yummy!

Ingredients:
Dough:
200g bread flour
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp yeast
1 egg, beated
1/2 tsp salt
100ml warm water/ milk
30g cold butter

Pork floss
egg wash
mayonnaise

Steps:
1. Make the dough by mixing everything together and left to proof for an hour in a warm place.
2. Cut into 10-12 pieces, or desired numbers (depends on how big you want your breads to be).
3. Place pork floss onto each flatten dough, and make into a ball.
4. For the mayonnaise version, I put some mayonnaise on top of a flatten dough and put some pork floss, then I roll it up and seal the two sides up. Then, I cut the middle to reveal some filling, and place some more mayonnaise and pork floss on top.
5. Set aside to proof for 30 minutes, and brush some egg wash on each bread.
6. Bake at 350 F for 15-18 minutes. Left to cool completely.

The pork floss sucks up all the moisture, making it kinda dry, unlike the apple bread. So I think it is best to bake the bread first, then cut it into half, and put the pork floss. Do not put the pork floss into the bread and bake it in order to enhance the moisture in the bread.

Happy baking =)

2. Divide the dough into 8-10 pieces.
3. Cook the apple filling on a stove or a microwave till soften. Discard the juice/water.
4. Flatten each dough and place apple filling into it and wrap till a ball shape formed. Press a pretzel stick as the stem. Left to proof for another 30 minutes, and continue for the rest of the dough.

It is best to finish within a day, it gets tough over a day, depends on what is the temperature and weather at your place of making.

Honeycomb Ice Cream

Honeycomb ice cream without using any machine! I adapted this recipe from Gemma Stafford, a youtuber!

The honeycomb recipe is from my previous post, I will link the post here. Honeycomb

The easy ice cream recipe needs only two ingredients which are condensed milk & heavy whipping cream.

2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 can condensed milk

Whip the cream until stiff peak form, and pour in the condensed milk. Continue whisking till stiff peak form again. Put in your desired filling, and consume! Or you can put it into the freezer and eat it when hard.

Honeycomb

This is a honeycomb that amazed me, and it tastes like honey! Hehe.. =D
The recipe is relatively easy, just you need to be careful when cooking and be quick, no hesitant at all when making this treat..

You will need:
1/2 cup sugar
5 tbsp honey
1 & 1/2 tsp baking soda

Line a parchment paper on a baking sheet or on a board before you starts the process. Put in your sugar and honey into a pot on medium heat and cook them until they turn sticky for about 3 minutes. Do not go over 3 minutes, it will burn! Then, use a spatula or a whisk to stir while pouring in the baking soda. This step has to be quick. Pour the baking soda, and stir. It will starts its chemical reaction. Stop whisking and quickly pour this onto the parchment paper. Let it cool and it will harden.
Break into desired portion.

It is so beautiful! =D

Caramel & Squash Custard Cake

It is also another Halloween baking that I have done but has not been posted. It is a custard cake that is served cold. It is like pudding. I adapted it from Ochikeron, a blogger and youtuber, and changed the recipe to my own preference.

Ingredients:
The top part:
80g sugar
4 tbsp water

Custard/Filling:
5 eggs
600g squash, steamed and mashed
500ml milk
180g sugar

Steps:
1. Cook sugar and water to make caramel (top part). Cook in pan on medium low heat till bubbly form formed. Pour into a greased 9 by 9 inch loaf pan immediately before it hardens. Put in fridge to set.
2. Heat milk and sugar in the pan at medium low heat till the mixture simmer. Slowly pour beaten egg mixture little by little, and mix thoroughly to prevent egg from cooked. Strain the mixture through a sieve. Add in the mashed and cooked squash into the mixture. (You can strain after this step to get a finer texture, but I prefer some "meat" inside my custard.)
3. Bake in preheated oven at 350 F for 50-60 minutes. Cool in fridge then flip it over and serve!
