Frozen Treats

"OMGosh la!!!"
"I must have at least gained a pound today!"

You wanna know why? I have been making, learning as well as eating/trying LOTSA desserts. Well.. I could have eaten a lil' less but how can I resist such yummy treats?!

First of all.. during my first class of the day, which was Food Production II. As I have said in one of my previous post, my lecturer wanted to train us for our exams by making us cook Black Box style. I wanted to do a dessert and since most of the other fruits were taken.. what was left was strawberries. So, after a long (and I mean LONG) thought.. I decided to do a strawberry mousse. I kinda did it wrongly tho (wrong steps) but it came out ok in the end. My course mate also made a really yummy dessert.. pavlova! A sweet chewy meringue topped with fruits! Awesome-ness!

Our second class was Pattiserrie III. Most of us were overjoyed and excited when we were told that we were learning how to make ice cream today! We did two different types of ice cream.. coconut ice cream and cardamom flavoured kulfi with pistachios (an Indian ice cream). It was absofcukinglutely awesome!!! The coconut ice cream I mean.. we haven't tried the kulfi tho cus it hasn't finish churning in the ice cream machine and it was time for our next class. So our lecturer said he would keep it for us and we could try it tomorrow. Can't wait! Anyways.. the coconut ice cream was js SO rich and SO coconutty (we used pure coconut milk) . Incredible!!!

Lastly.. Bakery Module. We learnt how to make two different items. First was Christmas Stolen (or otherwise known as Kerststole.. from Holland) and the second.. I'm not sure how to spell it (the name really long). It's a tradisional bread in Holland and it is a must to have during Christmas. It's a sweet loaf with lotsa candied fruits and sultanas. Sweet and yummy!

So all together.. yummy treats = gluttony = satisfaction + automatic weight gain!

Well.. time to make you all even hungrier! Here's a few pics I searched and found (since I didn't have a camera and couldn't take pics) to tempt you all. MUAHAHAHAHA!!! Aren't I evil?! (Pft.. lolz! So mo liu!)
