    Creamy Vanilla Happiness Recipe

    Table of Contents

    What you need:

    2/3 cup of whipping cream
    1 cup of full-fat milk
    The ezoic
    half a cup of sugar, granulated
    4 big yolks from one egg
    2 tablespoons of pure vanilla extract or 1 split and scraped vanilla bean pod
    The ezoic

    Instructions:

    1. Mix the whole milk, heavy cream, and half of the sugar in a medium saucepan. Stirring periodically, bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat in the saucepan. When bubbles form around the edges, take it off the heat.
    2. The egg yolks and the remaining sugar should be whisked together in a separate bowl until the mixture becomes pale and slightly thickened.
    3. Pour the heated cream mixture into the bowl containing the egg yolks slowly while whisking continuously to avoid scrambling the eggs. Tempering the eggs requires this procedure.
    4. The ezoic
    5. After the egg and cream combination is well mixed, put the pot back over medium heat.
    6. Toss in the vanilla bean seeds or essence that has been scraped into the pot and give it a good swirl. Keep swirling the mixture while it cooks until it thickens to a consistency that coats the spoon. It normally takes about five to seven minutes.
    7. After the custard has thickened, take it from the heat and transfer it to a clean dish by straining it through a fine-mesh sieve. This will remove any bits of vanilla bean or lumps.
    8. After the custard has cooled to room temperature, cover it with plastic wrap so that it touches the surface. This will prevent the formation of a skin. Put the custard in the fridge for at least four hours, or better yet, the night, so the flavors can combine and the mixture can cool completely.
    9. After the custard has cooled, pour it into an ice cream machine and process until it becomes smooth and creamy, following the manufacturer’s directions.
    10. If you want a softer texture, serve the newly churned creamy vanilla pleasure right away; if you prefer a firmer texture, put to a freezer-safe container and freeze for a few hours.
    11. The ezoic
    12. This handcrafted creamy vanilla delight is silky smooth and tastes divine; scoop it into bowls or cones and savor. For an additional dose of luxury, feel free to garnish with your preferred toppings like whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or fresh berries.

    Gathering Ingredients
    • Flour: 150 g (1 ½ cup)
    • Water: 100 ml (½ cup)
    • Milk: 100 ml (½ cup)
    • Butter: 80 g (1/3 cup)

    • Butter: 180 g (3/4 cup)
    Preparing the Cake Batter

    Let’s get started by melting the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Once melted, add the milk, water, and salt, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

    Baking the Cake

    Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius while allowing the dough to cool. Once cooled, add the eggs one by one, mixing thoroughly. Line a 25 cm round cake tin with parchment paper and pour half of the batter into the tin. Bake for approximately 20 minutes until golden brown. Repeat the process for the second crust.

    Making the Creamy Filling

    To prepare the creamy filling, beat the eggs and sugar together, then gradually add the flour, ensuring no lumps remain. Heat the milk in a saucepan and slowly add the egg mixture, stirring continuously until thickened. Allow the mixture to cool before combining it with whipped butter.

    Assembling Your Cake

    Once both crusts and the creamy filling have cooled, assemble your cake by spreading the creamy filling over one crust and placing the other crust on top. Refrigerate for approximately 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.

    Chilling and Serving

    After chilling, your cake is ready to be served! Sprinkle powdered sugar on top for a decorative finish, and enjoy the melt-in-your-mouth goodness.

  • Simple Jam-Filled Coconut Cookies

    Simple Jam-Filled Coconut Cookies

    Simple Jam-Filled Coconut Cookies

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients:

    For the Cookie Dough:

      • 2 large eggs

     

      • 80g (about 1/3 cup) sugar
      • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
      • A pinch of salt

     

      • 100ml sunflower oil
      • 180g (1 ½ cups) all-purpose flour
      • 1 teaspoon baking powder

    For the Jam Filling:

      • Jam of your choice (e.g., strawberry, raspberry, apricot)
      • Coconut flour for rolling (about 2-3 tablespoons)

     

    Steps to Prepare:

      1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets:
        • Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking and ensure even baking.

     

      1. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
        • In a large mixing bowl, crack the 2 eggs and whisk them together with 80g of sugar until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy. Add the 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Whisk again until everything is well combined.
      2. Add the Sunflower Oil:
          • Slowly pour the 100ml of sunflower oil into the egg mixture, stirring constantly to ensure that it is fully incorporated. The oil will add moisture and a slight richness to the cookie dough, helping them to bake to a perfect, soft texture.

         

      3. Combine the Dry Ingredients:
        • In a separate bowl, sift together 180g of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. This will ensure that your cookies are light and fluffy. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until the dough comes together. It should be soft and slightly sticky.

     

      1. Shape the Cookies:
        • Take a small amount of dough and roll it into a ball, about the size of a tablespoon. For extra flavor and texture, roll the balls in a thin layer of coconut flour to give them a light, coconutty crust. This will help add a subtle tropical twist to the cookies.
      2. Create a Hollow for the Jam:
          • Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart. Gently press your finger or the back of a spoon into the center of each dough ball to create a small well. Be sure not to press too hard—just enough to make space for the jam filling.

         

      3. Fill with Jam:
        • Spoon about half a teaspoon of your chosen jam into the hollow of each cookie. You can use any flavor of jam you prefer—strawberry, raspberry, apricot, or even marmalade. Make sure to fill the well with a small amount of jam, as too much jam can overflow during baking.

     

    1. Bake the Cookies:
      • Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown. Keep an eye on them towards the end of baking, as the exact time may vary depending on your oven.
    2. Cool and Serve:
      • Once the cookies are golden and fragrant, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. The jam filling will firm up slightly as the cookies cool.

    Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the agar-agar completely dissolves. Remove from heat.
    Mix the Milk Mixture:

    Ingredients:

    • 500 ml water
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 900 g flour
    • 200 g melted butter
    • 3 onions, finely chopped
    • 400 g ground meat (beef, pork, or a mix)
    • Additional salt and spices to taste (such as black pepper, paprika, or garlic powder)
    • 1 Balcarce pepper (or any sweet pepper), finely chopped
    • 1 tomato, chopped
    • 27 cm diameter mold (for baking)

    Instructions:

    1. Prepare the Dough:
      • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and 1 teaspoon of salt.
      • Gradually add the water to the flour while stirring, until the mixture starts to come together.
      • Pour in the melted butter and knead until the dough is smooth and pliable. Let it rest while you prepare the filling.
    2. Make the Filling:
      • In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onions and Balcarce pepper until they are soft and translucent.
      • Add the ground meat to the skillet, using a spoon to break it apart. Cook until the meat is thoroughly browned and fully cooked.
      • Stir in the chopped tomato and continue cooking for another few minutes. Season with salt and your chosen spices. Adjust the seasoning as needed and remove from heat to cool slightly.
    3. Assemble the Pie:
      • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
      • Divide the dough in half. Roll out one half to fit the bottom and sides of your 27 cm diameter mold.
      • Spoon the meat mixture into the pie crust. Roll out the second half of the dough and lay it over the top to cover the filling. Press and seal the edges by crimping them with a fork or using your fingers.
      • Create a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape while baking.
    4. Bake the Pie:
      • Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and flaky.
    5. Serve:

  • Strawberry Pudding: A Sweet and Creamy Delight

    Strawberry Pudding: A Sweet and Creamy Delight

    Strawberry Pudding: A Sweet and Creamy Delight

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients:

      • Strawberries: 200 g (fresh or frozen)
      • Sugar: 80 g
      • Milk: 400 ml

     

    • Cornstarch: 50 g (or any starch of your choice, such as arrowroot powder or potato starch)
    • Coconut Flakes: For garnish (optional, but recommended for added texture and flavor)

    These simple ingredients are all you need to create a decadent strawberry pudding that will transport you to a world of pure indulgence. The strawberries provide a fresh, fruity flavor, while the milk and cornstarch come together to create a silky-smooth texture. The sugar adds just the right amount of sweetness, and the optional coconut flakes bring a tropical flair that perfectly complements the flavor of the strawberries.

     

    Steps to Make Strawberry Pudding:

      1. Prepare the Strawberries:
        If you are using fresh strawberries, wash them thoroughly and remove the stems. Cut them into small pieces and set them aside. If using frozen strawberries, simply thaw them and drain any excess water.
      2. Blend the Strawberries:
        Place the strawberries into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier pudding, pulse a few times to leave some texture. For a smoother consistency, you can blend the mixture completely. Set aside.
      3. Make the Pudding Base:
        In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and sugar. Stir well and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Be sure to stir occasionally to prevent the milk from burning.

     

      1. Thicken the Pudding:
        While the milk mixture is heating, mix the cornstarch with a small amount of cold milk (about 50 ml) to create a smooth slurry. Once the milk and sugar mixture is simmering, gradually add the cornstarch mixture while stirring continuously. This will help thicken the pudding to a custard-like consistency. Continue stirring until the pudding reaches your desired thickness (about 5-8 minutes).
      2. Combine the Strawberry Puree:
        Once the pudding has thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the blended strawberries to the pudding and stir until well incorporated. The heat of the pudding will allow the strawberry flavor to meld beautifully with the creamy base.
      3. Chill the Pudding:
        Pour the pudding into individual serving bowls or a large dish. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow it to set and cool. The pudding will thicken further as it chills.

    1. Garnish and Serve:
      Once the pudding is chilled and set, garnish with a sprinkle of coconut flakes and serve. You can also add additional toppings such as whipped cream, fresh mint, or extra sliced strawberries for a decorative touch.
