Chocolate Melting Moments Cookies (Putri Salju Cokelat)
0 comments Posted by Julia Selinda at 10:04 AM
It's another study week before final exam. And, instead of make a preparation for exam, I travel back to my hometown and spend time baking everyday! Happiest days in my life! It really is a very short holiday, so I tried to find easy recipes and I found this yummy cookie recipe!
We call this cookie putri salju in Indonesia, a melt-in-your-mouth type of cookie and ground cashew nuts in it. Well, the texture is similar to melting moment cookies, so I guess it is the same (minus the cashew nuts). This recipe contains no nuts, but we add in cocoa powder and dark cooking chocolate instead.
The cookies texture is crunchy and melt in your mouth, although I expect it to be softer just like the original putri salju cookies. The taste is super chocolate, it is bittersweet and that's what I love the most from chocolate! I even think that I might bake this for next year's CNY!

Last week I came back to Malaysia and have to resist the urge to bake again until August! Anyway, I still have some recipe that I haven't posted yet. I'm lazy, I know.
I'm so happy to introduce you to another pretty and amazing site that I absolutely love so much, Raspberri Cupcakes by Steph. She has the cutest macarons that I've ever seen and lovely pictures. I think I don't have to explain more, just visit her site and experience the beauty!
This is one of her recipe and it tastes so good! Somehow I can't really taste the tea flavor, maybe I'll add more leaves in it next time. Anyway, I always love cupcake with lemon icing. ♥

5. Dengan mixer kecepatan rendah, masukkan madu dan 1/3 bagian tepung. Kemudian masukkan 1/2 bagian campuran susu, 1/3 bagian tepung, lalu sisa susu dan tepung. Mizer hingga rata.
6. Masukkan adonan ke dalam loyang cupcake hingga 2/3 penuh dan panggang selama 15-20 menit. Biarkan kue di dalam loyang selama 5 menit, kemudian keluarkan dari loyang dan biarkan sampai dingin.

I was so excited that I have an opportunity to make another birthday cake again! This time is for my grandma's 69th birthday. I decided to decorated it with fruit because somehow it looks healthier and of course so so pretty! It also helped me to cover up all of the not-so-good buttercream layer on top. It is quite hard for me to create a really smooth surface, so I make basketweave pattern instead. I admit that it is actually easier than it looks!
For the cake, I use steamed black glutinous rice cake that I have posted here. The cream cheese filling really gives an extra flavor to the gorgeous cake!

I baked lots of cakes these day and thinking of something different. So here it is, lattice crust apple pie topped with a heart, I add a little bit of strawberry jam to enhance the color and sprinkle them with powdered sugar. Dad ate 2 pieces of this! xD

This is my very first time trying lattice tart and it's actually not hard at all! I am falling in love with the way it looks, so adorable and sweet. ♥
So far I have made lattice tart crust twice, once with shortening and once with butter. The one with butter tastes so good and smells awesome, however it is not as pliable and flaky as the one with shortening. I like the one with shortening, super super easy to handle no matter how you turn it around and the texture is sooo gorgeous! I really suggest you to try that one, you can find the recipe here. ;)
The taste is similar to pineapple tart, but I admit that I prefer pineapple tart more because I can really taste the butter. But seriously, it is just so easy to make, a different way to enjoy your pineapple tart, great as a gift, and everyone will fall in love with the lattice pattern!

I still remember last time about 4 or 5 years ago when I realized that I love baking so much. I started to go to the book recipe section whenever I went to a bookstore and I would be tremendously happy just by looking at it!
This is one of recipe that I keep since last time and I just found it recently in the cabinet. I know I just have to try it out! The brownies is so moist and wonderful with the cream cheese on top. Too bad I did not have any cashews on hand and it lost it's wonderful nutty flavor and crunch.

Who doesn't like sweet potato? It's so sweet, flavorful, and healthy snack!
Okay, I know I like ALL the things that can be eaten. Sometimes my friends won't even believe me when I say "Oh, it's so delicious!", and they will be like "I doubt your palate, really". The good thing is I'm not a picky eater, take me for a meal anywhere you like and I'll still enjoy it!
Dad bought lots of sweet potatoes recently. We usually steam and eat it with sprinkles of granulated white sugar or some honey. I prefer honey, I think I eat the honey more than the sweet potatoes.
Anyway, sometimes it's kind of boring to eat it just like that, so I tried to browse some easy recipes for sweet potatoes. I couldn't find many easy recipes and decided to try this one, the savory one. I just imagine theatit will be so amazingly sweet from the honey with wonderful cinnamon fragrance, and it was! Moreover, it is very easy to make, you just have to toss everything together and bake it the oven. It's perfect for snack, I couldn't stop eating!

Dad bought me lots of bananas again~
When there are bananas at home, I will always leave it until darken and use it to try out some banana cake recipes. But that day was different. Mom asked me to bake some bread again, so my brother can bring it to school as snacks. I quickly open our family's favorite bread recipe from Keluarga Nugraha's website and also find some inspiration for the bread's shape. Of course I can't make round buns forever! :D
I found a very good inspiration from Citra Kusuma's blog. She also provides a step-by-step picture in shaping the dough! Love it so much! ♥
Banana Bread
Bun ingredients (adapted from Keluarga Nugraha) :
375 gr bread flour, sifted
75 gr castor sugar

Evaporated milk, for brushing dough (about 4 tbsp)
Mix well (egg mixture) :
1 egg yolk, lightly beaten
1 whole egg, lightly beaten
175 ml cold milk
2 tbsp condensed milk
Enough bananas for filling, and cheese for topping
Method :
1. In a big bowl,mix together flour, castor sugar, milk powder, yeast, and salt.
2. Pour egg mixture little by little, knead to combine.
3. Add softened butter, knead until dough is smooth, soft, and elastic.
4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let dough proof for 30 mins until dough has doubled in volume.
5. Deflate dough using the heel of your hand, and divide into about 50 gr balls.
6. Let rest for 30 mins until dough puffed up.
7. Flatten dough to 1 cm thick and filled with half banana (click here for Citra Kusuma's step-by-step picture), and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
8. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 15 mins. Preheat oven to 180°C.

Today I want to introduce you another cool blog, Hesti's Kitchen by Hesti HH.! I went through all her posts and love it so much and pin them on Pinterest and bookmark them on my to-do list. I admire her beautiful pictures and clear, easy to follow instruction. It really encourages me to learn more about photography, props, editing, and all.
One of the recipe that I tried is this Cheesy Chiffon Cupcakes. I think I have mentioned before that my family is a fan of light, airy cake, so I think they will absolutely love this! And the result is superb! I use cream cheese frosting on top and decorate it with cheese, or you can simply sift powdered sugar on it. The thing that I love the most is the cheddar cheese inside, yes of course because I love cheese so so bad and enjoy chewing it. N even said that this is so far the best cake he has ever tried! Now I know he is a fan too. xD
Look how I tried to take picture on the inside part, it's not so clear but you can see the yummy cheese cubes! Isn't it just so tempting? ♥
Please try out the recipe, you'll love it! You can check the recipe by clicking on the link below :D

Hello sweet cookies! ♥
My love to peanut butter is severe. I can lick spoonfuls of peanut butter just like that! As many people say, peanut butter is good for your health but still, too much is less. Anyway, I still love you, peanut butter.
Despite my fondness, I have never bake peanut butter cookies before. I have mentioned before that my family prefers crunchy cookies, so I think this cookies will not be a good idea. But really, how can I bear with the cuteness of this cookies?
I actually change some of the ingredients, so I am sure that the result is not as good as the original recipe. I used margarine instead of shortening and my honey was very thin, making the dough soggy. The taste is as expected, soft and chewy cookies full of peanut taste. My family loves the smell but not the texture, so I think I might make it again only if I crave for light soft cookies. But if you are a fan of soft cookies, this recipe is worth trying!

3 months holiday is always amazing! I will be having my holiday until the end of March and I don't want it to pass too fast.. My last semester will be started in April, submit the dissertation, then internship, and graduation in 2015! Oh, how time flies so fast.
Since this holiday started, I bake every single day. Yess! Every. Single. Day. I did not take picture all the time though, finding perfect lighting and also mood is not easy, so I end up with only a few pictures.
Chinese New Year is cominnggggg~ I spent this last 2 weeks preparing cookies, although me and my family will not be here for the first few days of CNY. We are going to Kuala Lumpur to spend CNY together with my younger sister, can't wait to bring my cookies for her!
Actually I baked this Lemon Chiffon Cake during last holiday in August, but I only managed to post in today. I had a wonderful time during last holiday and forgot to post it in this blog! *innocent face*
This chiffon cake is lovely! My family is a fan of soft, airy, not too sweet cake and this one is a favorite. I also love the lemony flavor from the cake. ♥

Last Christmas I received wonderful muffin pans from my godmother. She's a very understanding lady and know me very well! I have been looking for muffin pans, so I called her to ask where I can find it in Selangor. I did not expect that she would give me muffin pans as Christmas gift and I was so exhilarated!
I wanted muffin pans so so bad after I saw some recipes on Pinterest. Yes, I never had muffin pans before and I bake them in mini tart pans like my chocolate chunk muffins and donut muffins. Still so adorable to see, but I wanted the REAL pan!
Actually I have baked a few cupcakes before I make this coconut cupcake, but some were eaten before I have chance to take picture and the rest were not really my family's favorite, so I don't bother to post it here. For this Creamy Coconut Cupcake, I think the combination of coconut and cream cheese is so unique and fabulous! What I love the most is the chewy shredded coconut inside. My family and friends loves it so much, that is why I think this recipe is a must to bake!

Seriously, I can't help myself to bake everyday! My hands feel extremely itchy if i just sit and do nothing. I love to be productive, feel so satisfied in the end of the day that I have learn something each day.

In this recipe, she rolls the cookie dough into the cornflakes, whereas in our place, we usually mix the cornflakes with the batter together. And yes, I love the look! For the taste, just make sure you use high quality butter because all the taste and smell depending on it, and your cookies will be wonderfully crunchy and buttery.

Hello sweethearts! ♥
Several days ago is my dad and little brother's birthday.
Okay. He's not little anymore.
He is 13 years old this year, but still he is my sweet little brother. They are the only guys in the house and share the same birthday, isn't it sweet? I always think so! ♥
So for the very first time, I baked a birthday cake! Yay!
For both layer, I baked carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. I forgot to take picture of the inside part due to the nervousness while making this. Hahaha.
For the white fondant, I use marshmallow fondant recipe that I found online and the black fondant is store-bought. Marshmallow fondant is actually too sweet for me (although I am a sweet tooth person) and the store-bought fondant tastes quite nice! I think next time I will just buy ready-to-use fondant.
I put a few drops of food coloring to the white fondant for the roses. To make the roses, I just cut it into a rectangle and roll it. So easy and cute ! xD
I am sooooo happy that they all like it although it was a bit too sweet! Hope that I can make another birthday cake, it's a super exciting thing! ♥
With love,
Julia ♥

Hello my lovely cookies! ♥
After a long hiatus, I open my blog again! *yayy* Yes, I just open it after this all months. I have been focusing on my assignments and exam, and of course crocheting and all. I found another addicted hobby, cross-stitching! I have so much fun with it and now I can feel that my hands are so itchy to do it again! xD
And guess what, it is another holiday again~! I am having semester break now and trying to enjoy each day as much as possible! Another posts is coming ;)
By the way, I will continue the 5th semester next month. Yup, 2 more semesters to go! I have to try my best to finish this and start to think about my future career, confusing matter indeed, because I have lots of things in mind to do! xD
I write the recipe in Indonesian, so if you're looking for the recipe in English, click here to check the original recipe by Joy of Baking. ;) So here's the recipe for today~
Bahan Dulce de Leche :
1 liter susu
150 gram gula pasir

1/2 sdt baking soda
1/8 sdt garam
150 gram gula pasir
2 sdm light corn syrup
1/2 sdt baking soda
1/8 sdt garam
1 sdt vanilla extract
Bahan Shortbread Cookies :
260 gram tepung serbaguna (segitiga biru)
1/4 sdt garam
1/4 sdt garam
226 gram mentega tawar, suhu ruang
60 gram gula halus / bubuk
1 sdt vanilla extract
1 sdt vanilla extract
Cara :
Dulce de Leche
1. Tuangkan susu, gula, corn syrup, baking soda, dan garam ke dalam panci 8 liter. Panaskan dengan api sedang hingga mendidih. Perhatikan dengan baik, apabila susu mulai berbusa dan naik, segera aduk dengan spatula tahan panas atau sendok kayu dan kecilkan sedikit api.
2. Terus masak campuran susu tersebut, aduk bagian dasar dan pinggiran panci sampai campuran susu menjadi sangat kental, lengket, dan berwarna karamel (sekitar 40-60 menit). Campuran harus terus diaduk agar campuran susu tidak hangus.
3. Setelah 40-60 menit, Dulce de Leche telah berkurang hingga 300 ml. Angkat dari api dan saring. Masukkan vanilla extract dan aduk. Biarkan dingin sebelum ditutup dan disimpan. Dulce de Leche dapat disimpan di lemari es selama 1 bulan.

3. Masukkan vanilla extract, aduk.
4. Masukkan tepung dan garam dan campur hingga rata.
5. Bentuk adonan hingga menyerupai piringan, bungkus dengan plastic wrap, dan masukkan ke lemari es paling sedikit 1 jam atau hingga mengeras.
6. Di atas permukaan yang telah ditaburi tepung, giling adonan hingga ketebalan 6cm. Potong dengan cookie cutter bentuk lingkaran berdiameter 5cm (bentuk lain juga boleh, di sini saya menggunakan bentuk hati).
7. Susun di atas loyang dan masukkan lemari es selama 15menit.
8. Panggang selama 7-10menit dengan suhu 177 derajat C, atau sampai pinggiran cookies kecokelatan.
9. Cookies dapat disimpan selama 1minggu di wadah kedap udara.

Hi people! ♥
Please do agree with me that chocolate is the best created edible thing in the world! I am oh-so-in-love with this little thing, every dessert with chocolate is just adorably perfect. ♥ So yes, ever since I tried Chocolate Lava Cake in some restaurants and experienced the heaven sensation, of course I won't miss a chance and I decided to bake one. And you should too. ;)
Overall, it is pretty easy to do, you just simply mix everything together. The crucial things here are the baking duration and temperature. Each oven will need different baking time, I even have to bake it several times to get the right texture.
This one is the first batch :
The surface texture is just perfect, but the inside part is not 'melt' enough.
So I baked another batch for 12 minutes:
You can see the melting chocolate on the surface, but the inside is just perfect!
Actually both are extremely delicious, but I'll just stick to the second one to get more melting chocolate. xD
And here's the recipe. :D
Ingredients
- 100g dark chocolate, cut to small cubes
- 100g unsalted butter, cut to small cube
- 2 eggs
- 50g caster sugar
- 20g self-raising flour
Additional tools needed
- spatula
- electric whisk
- oven safe ramekins (6-8 oz)
Directions
1. Melt dark chocolate and butter using either the microwave or a hot water bath.
2. In a large bowl, use an electric whisk to beat the eggs and sugar till the mixture turns pale and frothy. This will take a few minutes.
3. Pour melted chocolate/butter you prepared in step 1, into the egg mixture prepared in step 2. Stir in the flour. Use a spatula to mix everything evenly.
4. Grease your ramekins with some melted butter (so that the cake will come off cleanly when it is baked). Fill the ramekin almost 3/4 full with the chocolate mixture and bake in a preheated oven of 180C (356F) for about 12 minutes (the recipe calls for 10-11 minutes). The cake is deliberately slightly undercooked so as to achieve its ideal consistency which is runny in the middle (hence the name fondant/molten/chocolate lava) but if you over-bake it, you will get a super moist chocolate cake which is yummy too.
5. When it is baked, remove ramekin from oven and let cool for 1-2 minutes. Use a spoon to gently loosen the edges. Carefully invert the cake onto serving plate.
6. Serving suggestion: Use a sieve to dust icing sugar over the cake. Serve a scoop of vanilla ice cream and some berries at the side.

Hello sweeties!
After months of internet connection problem in my apartment, last week they finally fix it! Then you ask me why I update my beloved blog again only after a week? I'll honestly answer, I was very busy with these 4 deadly things :
1. Work in hotel for my internship2. Work in hotel for my internship
3. Pinning in Pinterest
4. Work in hotel for my internship
Now let me tell you the story of my days...
Warning : I swear this is an absolutely boring story, so I suggest you to skip this and proceed to the link below for the recipe. Thank you.
As I've finished my 3rd semester, I am required to take an internship in a hotel for 3 months. At first, I thought that it will be a very tiring and stressing thing to do, and it is actually TRUE! I leave home early in the morning and reach home late, then eat and sleep and do the same thing over and over again everyday. But now I'm wondering why I feel sad that I've finished 1 month there. Now I want it a bit longer, to laugh and share story with the staffs, smile to the people that I never even know before, do new things and challenged. I think I kind of enjoy all the works that I have to do now... But , oh, how I love off day!
For the rest of my little free time, I'll surely checking the fabulous Pinterest! I can even spend hours, my whole day for it. That site is just so addictive and can sweep away all my burden *i'm serious!*. Just look at those tiny little pictures and please do agree with me!
Talking about sweeping my burden, the smell of cinnamon can also gives joy to me. ♥ That is the reason why I love cinnamon roll soooo much, especially those in Cinnabon. I can't resist the amazing smell of the brown sugar and cinnamon calling for me to buy them... I'm a loser for such things...
I never know that cinnamon roll is a pretty easy yummy thing to do! And lesson learned : 'You will get a funny cinnamon roll shape if you force yourself to bake one full recipe in a tiny little oven'. Luckily, I still managed to save this little one here~ xD
 |
| brown sugar + cinnamon = a heavenly smell! ♥ |
My family loves this as much as I am and I'll definitely bake another batch again! ♥
Recipe from joshuakennon.com. He doesn't have the step-by-step pictures *like I usually prefer*, but he explains it very clearly so it's worth trying! Enjoy ♥
With love,
Julia ♥
