Berry Berry Tiramisu



Another modification of tiramisu that i made, nice dessert, there r sweet from the cream, sour berry, and moist sponge cake. Modified from previous tiramisu recipe that i've posted couple years ago. Bcoz i use berry syrup instead of coffee syrup that i made from scratch, so i "lighten" the cream with more whipping cream , so it still taste cheesy but more fresh whipping cream in it. U can use lady finger, sponge cake, nilla wafer, or other kind of cake/cookies u like. In this recipe i use sponge cake with the recipe i posted previously too.


ingredients:
125 cream cheese
300 ml heavy cream
100 gr confectioner sugar
2 egg yolks
25 gr sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Berry syrup, recipe below.


Beat the cream cheese in a low speed just to break the solidness of it.
Beat the cream until bubling and add the confectioner sugar gradually, beat in high speed until sift peak formed. Set aside and store in fridge.
Beat the yolks & sugar until color of pale and mixture thickened.
Continue to beat on the boiled water (beat with low speed) until egg warmed.
Take the bowl away from boiled water, add the vanilla extract, and continue beating until mixture back cold again. Set aside.
Combine the cream cheese and cream mixture and beat together in a low speed.
Add the yolks mixture into the cream mixture, mix all together. Put in a fridge until firm.

Berry syrup:
Put the berry (frozen strawberry, raspberry, and bluberry) in a sauce pan on medium-high heat.
Add sugar and stir occasionally until bubbling. Turn off the heat and let it cool before assembling the tiramisu.

Cheese Croquette



When i was a kid, my father used to brought me to restaurant kinda "steak house" called BonCafe in Surabaya. On the plate, there was sirloin steak, fries, gravy, steamed veggy, and.. small croquette that taste so soft moist and cheesy. It really delicious when u eat it with the gracy and the steak. Now i try to make it by recognizing the taste and ingredients.


ingredients :
1 kg potato , boiled, and skin peeled off.
garlic powder
Salt pepper
pinch of ground nutmeg
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 Tbsp parsley flakes
1/2 cup cheese permesan + 1/2 cup sharp cheddar
1/4 cup breadcrumbs permesan
2 egg yolks


flour
egg, beaten + milk + garlic salt
bread crumbs


Mash the potato until smooth, season with garlic posder, salt pepper and nutmeg.
Add the cream, blend all together.
Add the parsley flakes, cheese permesan and cheddar. Mix.
Add the breadcrumbs and egg yolks. Mix until well blended.
Using spoon, take a dollop of mixture and drop it into the flour.
Roll it to make a nice coating into the croquette. Finish all the dough.
Take 1 croquette, drop into the eggwash then roll in breadcrumbs.
Put the croquette in the fridge and let them cool so all the breadcrumbs stick perfectly onto the croquettes.
Fry in a hot oil for about 1 min each side.
