Sugar Cravings

Yikes! What I hate about my 6-days working routine is that, I'll have this sugar cravings. I hate anything sweet, but sejak dua menjak berexercise ni, I suddenly developed sweet tooth. Even doughnuts that I normally stayed away like plague pun boleh aku suka. Grr... Time nak reduce sugar intake ni la, macam2 dugaan melanda.

Last nite, I slept quite late. Lepas berborak dengan Che' Boh (hubby's Aunt) and Ku Ana (hubby's cousin), aku ingatkan boleh la tido. Tapi sampai 1.30am, mata still terkebil2 lagi. Dah la hubby  takde. Hubby keluar dengan kengkawan dia, balik pun lambat, rasanya about 2.30am. While waiting for hubby to be back, aku selongkar almari. Jumpa la setin condensed milk, a pack of raspberry jelly mix, a can of sliced peach, 2 block of butter cake which I bought earlier kat Jusco and custard flour.

Aku pun apa lagi.. Terus buat trifle. But, since semlm tu still considered as my exercise day, aku takde la makan terus trifle tu. Simpan dalam peti dulu. Mula2 nak letak whipped cream, tapi cari fresh milk takde pulak. I'm currently using whipping powder yang ina bagi. So, kalau desperately need whipping cream, just tambah the powder to cold milk je. Then guna mixer untuk dapatkan the hard peak.

Anyway, this is my trifle. Baru aku tau, rupanya, bila buat trifle, the cake kena letak jam and the cake kena soaked in the jelly mixture. Hari ni bila aku rasa the trifle, rasa sedap giler!! Memang tak nyesal la aku buat and luckily I didnt taste it last nite. If not, definitely gonna be hard for me to eat just 1 slice.


How to make trifle.

Pound cake - I bought mine kat Jusco which cost about RM4 per block (me being a cheapskate mom, I bought the one that is being sold at 50% discount.. hahahha)
1 box of Raspberry jelly mix ( I used nona brand)
1 canned of sliced peach
Custard mix

How to assemble.
1. Sliced the cake into few pieces, pastu ambik 2 slice cake, letak strawberry jam, then lekatkan, susun dalam bekas kaca. make sure the bottom tu adalah layer cake yg dah disapu strawberry jam.
2. Then, mix the jelly mix with air panas yang baru mendidih sampai larut, tuang ke dalam bekas kaca yang berisi cake tu.
3. Sementara menunggu jelly mix tu keras (dont worry about floating cake slices, dia akan mendap once the cake absorbed all the moisture from the jelly mix), buat custard.
4. Custard recipe boleh ambik kat sini http://www.foodtale.com/2010/07/11/custard-triffle-pudding/
5. Bila the jelly mix dah hard enough, tuang the custard mix yg panas tu atas the jelly mix. Sejukkan, pastu boleh la letak whipping cream on top (which I omit coz I hate the creamy taste)

    Kerana trifle nihlah badan I kian bundar. I tak reti buat but my sister next door pandai sangat buat. Everytime dia buat for her friends, I sure dapat semangkok.

    Now dah I tengok resipi cam senang aje *dan bahan2 pun ada*, mcm nak buat pulak tapi nanti .... ishh.. *sambil geleng paler*.

    Shidah, my komen pasal 'water' yg apply kat muka tu, I hope my Q tak buat you salah anggap. I tanya memang untuk diri I.. what if kalau kulit muka tak larat melawan gravity, masih boleh guna mende tu tak? Tq :-)

  5. Ju,

  6. CS,

    hehe.. sebab tu I takleh buat trifle ni selalu. kena buat 2-3 kali je dalam setahun. kalau tak, memang merana la badan.

    recipe tu memang simple sangat. kalau malas nak bake cake, just beli yg dah siap kat jusco. tutup mata pun boleh buat. i love the soaked cake! sedap!!

    I think Q understand. dont worry. I pun muka dah mula ditarik graviti.. hehehhe
