Chocolate Fruit Tarts

Been craving for fruit tarts as I really love eating the tart base. Loved crunchy base each time I bite into a tart. ❤️

Saw this recipe while browsing cookidoo and saw this 2 recipes! Cant imagine how this 2 pairs together as a fruit tart!!! I totally love the custard, felt like can eat like a pudding with fruits as topping! 

I made some custard corn bread as I had a lot of custard! My kids love it so much that they were snatching the last corn bread! LOL. 

You can watch the simple video here. Bread recipe can be found here!

Chocolate Muffins - Thermomix

Needed a quick break to destress before I sit down to study with my secondborn. Scroll thru my saved bookmarks and decided on baking these! 

Very easy to put together after simply melting the butter, jus dump all ingredients in to mix 5seconds. Another quick 5sec mix to add in the chocolate chips and some pecans. Texture so soft and fluffy! 😋😋

Made some with sprinkles on top and the youngest was so thrilled! He took a peek and saw all the colourful sprinkles and says ‘Mummy I love you! You are the great COOKER!’ 😑😑😑 mehhh.

Cookie Crumble Cheesecake - Thermomix

 

Hub has been asking why I didnt bake his favourite when he sees me on a baking streak. Been a while since I have been baking too. And I knw he loves cheesecake without the cookie base, I decided to make 1 for him!

As usual I had to do a ‘Priscilla’, using the wrong size of the cake tin ONCE AGAIN! Lol! It would have fit a 4” nicely with a nice height! I added a cookie crumble toppings to create a texture and enhance the flavour. I had to say, He AGREES! 

The wrong tin aside. The texture of the creamcheese was creamy yet not overly gelat. The lemon juice helps to add some zest to it. The cookie crunch helps to elevates the texture so well that hub gave his thumbs up!

Packing 2 slices off to my neighbour! ❤️

Of cos this minus the wok hey from the wok but it spares me a greasy kitchen to clean up. Yet I can have homecooked meals for my family and still buys extra 30mins to self love by doing a short workout. Amazing gadget I ever invest in!

Marble Butter Cake - Thermomix

 

Been craving for marble butter cake and so heartpain to pay $0.90 for a small slice of it. Decided to wait patiently for my big eggs to come and bake 1 whole cake for myself. 

I didnt have any self raising flour so I replaced with plain flour + baking powder. Thankfully works well. And this time, I followed a tips from a Facebook page - JoJo Kitchen on making a failproof butter cake texture! And yes, indeed it helps so much! (Refer to the first 2 steps of the method below, they are not in cookidoo recipes)

Made a small boo boo as I took out the cake too soon before the center was cooked. Overturn to cool for 10mins then realised the batter was flowing out. Panic and quickly toss back to the baking tin and bake another 8mins. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Thankfully it still soft and nice on the inside, only flaw would be the exterior is slightly crusty. 🙈 But the extra tips on blitzing the sugar and then a quick mix of the butter indeed improved the texture so much!
