No bake cake.

Hey readers, here's a short update about the recipe for the no bake chocolate cake I have posted on my wechat earlier.
Well, I did not discover this recipe on my own, I have got it online. Credits to homecookingadventure.com for the recipe.
It was my first time making a no bake cake, so I too have a lot to learn.



So this picture tells all the ingredients you need to for this amazing dessert.
For the crust base, you will need:
-         -approximately 3 packs of oreo (350g)
-         -half piece of butter (125g)
There are a few substitutes for the oreo, you can either use marie biscuits, or any disgestive biscuits (commonly used as the crust for cheesecakes), but I’m sure it won’t taste as good as oreo despite all the sweetness is being replaced too.

For the filling, you will need:
-         -milk chocolate (200g)
-         -bittersweet chocolate (100g)
-         -heavy cream (200ml)
I used the hazelnut chocolate instead of bittersweet, it improves the texture of the chocolate filling. If you dislike sweet stuff, use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate.

For the topping, you will need:
-         -fresh strawberries
-         -chopped nuts (almonds, etc), optional
    I have added kiwi to even the sweetness of the chocolate, but it’s not recommended as kiwi is very watery and it makes it hard for the chocolate to harden, or you can place it after its done.  
Here are the steps:
1)      Blends the oreo cookies with a food processor until crumbs form. (which I don’t have one), so I placed them in a plastic and crushed them with a roller.
2)      Add melted butter and pour over the crushed oreos, process until evenly moistened.
3)      Place the mixture in a pan, press cookie mixture into the bottom and edges.
4)      Freeze until you prepare the filling, just for a few minutes.
5)      Place the chopper chocolate in a saucepan and place cream over for a few minutes and stir until they are complete melted. (in the original recipe, its stated that no boiling or simmering needed to melt the chocolate).
6)      Remove from saucepan when it cools down, pour over the crust base.
7)      Top with strawberries.
8)      Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight before serving.
Tada! Just perfect for tea or dessert after meal. It’s that simple, well it’s only according to my personal preference, you can CLICK HERE for the video! And once again, credits to homecookingadventure.com for the recipe.

3D2N Medan - Birthday Getaway

Hey readers, I am back again to blog about my birthday trip to Medan, Indonesia.
It was a short escape, and a very last minute trip, booked my flight ticket less than a week before trip, cost about RM200 round trip.
It was  real spontaneous trip with my best friend. :D
So I had a morning flight on 2nd June, it was 6 in the morning that I have to arrive in the airport, so didn’t manage to party the night before, so sad.
