Coffee ice cream with melted dark chocolate

coffee ice cream with melted dark chocolate  

yupzzzzzzzzz...... you'r not blind, indeed..... it is Ice cream!!!! As all of you know what is ice cream, sooooo i will not going to introduce ice cream. TeeHee...

(Seriously, am not)

Ingredient

1 cup of  Milk

1 cup of Whip cream

2 Egg york

1 packet of Coffee powder

2 tbs of Sugar

a pinch of salt

MELT CHOCCO

200gm of Dark chocolate bar

1 tbs of Milk

1 tbs Sugar

Method

Heat the milk in a sauce pan with low heat(so that the milk is not burn), until you see bubble start coming out(not boiling) remove milk from heat. Then add sugar , salt and coffee powder to the warm milk, wisk it until everything dissolve.

PS: im using the old school way, no "ice cream maker " is used during the making

okeyyyyy, now... the mixing part. you can either use your wisk or make use of the tech, by using mixer. first, set to high speed and pour in the egg york, wait for few sec (about 3-5 sec),  then add Whip cream into the mixer until it became thicker. Then.... add the milk solution into the mixer and let it mix well. (for about 6-8 min).

Take your ice cream recipe mixture and carefully pour it into the bowl, then chill in the fridge for up to 2 hours, checking on it after 1 hour. The reason it can take longer than an hour is when a recipe mixture has had cooked ingredients added, therefore thorough chilling will take longer. 

Take the bowl out of the fridge and transfer to the freezer for about half an hour. Then check just how much the mixture has frozen - ideally, it should have started to freeze at the edges but not fully through to the centre. 

Take the bowl out of the freezer and beat the ice cream mixture until it’s creamy once again (to dislodge and break up the ice crystals that have formed).

Put it back in the freezer for another half hour, then remove and once again beat with a whisk.

Do this again so that you have beaten the mixture a total of 3 times whilst freezing in between.

Before putting back the bowl into the freezer, pour the melted chocolate with spoon on top of the ice cream. Put the mixture back into the freezer for a final time until it’s ready to eat. This can take anything from 30 minutes upwards, depending upon the quantity and type of ice cream you’re making and also how you like the consistency of your ice cream (some people like it softer, some harder).

MELTING THE DARK CHOCOLATE

double boil(medium heat) the milk on an metal plate, then add the sugar to the warm milk and let the sugar to dissolve, after that, put the chocolate bar in and let it melt.

TIPS:

please ask if you dont understand, i dont think i really understand what i write

dont use flavour milk( chocolate milk or any other flavour milk)

you can put more coffee power if you want

homemade ice cream is something must try...

Homemade noodle

Homemade Egg Noodles

nothing taste better then  a homemade food. it is more healtier to make your own noodle then buying it from outside. As a homemade food, you can control the amount of stuff u putting in.

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 pinch salt
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk

Cutting the noodle either can cut manually or machine cut. if you are using manually to cut the noodle, use a rolling pan and roll it untill 1/8 or 1/4 or it size, then use a cutter or knife to cut into desired lengths and shapes. 

if you are using pasta maker then use a size 8 first to roll your pasta. twice on size 8, one on size 6, one on size 5, twice on size 4. then use the medium gap cutter and cut your pasta.

walla~~~ there is your noodles... and before cooking it let it rest for 5 min to allow the air to go in. 

tips:

you can change the type of flour to make this noodles. for example, buckweed flour produce buckweed noodles. simple fomula..^^ LOL

and try not to add so much flour when kneading cause it will make the noodle lose it water..

Pita Bread

Pita Bread

Pita (also called and less commonly known as pitta or pide (Turkish), pitka (Bulgarian) and pronounced "pitta" in Greek is an often round, brown, wheat flatbread made with yeast. 

Similar to other double-layered flat or pocket breads, pita is traditional in many Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines. It is prevalent from North Africa through the Levant and the Arabian Peninsula, possibly coinciding with either the spread of the Hellenistic world or that of the Arab expansions under the banner of Islam. 

In Greek cuisine, pita may refer to thicker breads made with yeast, for example souvlaki pita. It may also refer to foods using many layers of dough of thickness less than 1mm, usually with many different ingredients in between, forming savoury pies such as tyropita and spanakopita or sweet pies such as baklava. 

  

this is howiedoit (how we do it)

recipe

3 cups flour + 1 cup flour for kneading
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 cup warm water
1 packet yeast (7 grams or 1/4 oz)
1 tsp sugar
1/2 cup warm water
sunflower oil

steps:

mix yeast,1 tbs of sugar and 1/2 cup warm water and let sit for 10-15 minutes in a small bowl.

In a large bowl mix 3 cups flour with salt, and make a hole in the middle. Slowly add in yeast mixture and 1 cup warm water until well combined and turned into a dough, tranfer the dough into a bigger bowl and coat it with oil, cover with a cloth, and let sit for 3 hours in a warm place. 3 hours later and dough will rise to twice of it size, add flour on to table surface and knead dough for 10 minutes, add flour littlw by little until the dough stop sticking on your finger. cut the dough into small balls and let sit in a plate for 10 minutes. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. use a rollingpan and roll the balls into 1/8 inch thick and place on flat cookie sheet or pan, cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until lightly brown and dough puffs up. If the dough does not puff up all the time, that is ok, you'll still have a pita pocket.
