I had leftover coconut milk from the curry-cooking last week so while thinking what to do with them, I suddenly had a craving for coconut ice cream. I first tried coconut ice cream in Chatuchak, Thailand – served in a young coconut shell and garnished with toasted pine nuts and fresh coconut meat, it was superbly…

Easy 3-Ingredient No-Churn Vanilla Ice Cream
Do you love homemade vanilla ice cream but can’t stand the thought of cooking the custard or freezing the troublesome ice cream machine component? Fret not! Because I have an extremely easy vanilla ice cream recipe to share today. It doesn’t need an ice cream machine, doesn’t involve the cooking of a custard (i.e. no eggs needed),…
No-Churn Strawberry Yoghurt Ice Cream
The theme for Little Thumbs Up event this month is yoghurt and I see so many yoghurt ice cream submissions that I was itching to make some! Weather here is getting really hot (can get up to 40C!) so a scoop of ice cream, especially a healthy one, can never hurt. I think everyone’s recipe…
Chocolate Olive Oil Almond Cake (Nigella)
This is my 4th recipe for Nigella this month! How I wish this theme is extended for another month or something, there are just too many recipes of hers to try! But now I have to start trying out Pioneer Woman’s recipes as she’s our theme for the Cook Like A Star event next month…
Cheat’s Canned Pineapple Foster
So… I had some leftover canned pineapple rings after using some to cook a pineapple chicken dish (the recipe ain’t very good so I’m not sharing it), and I’ve been wanting to make a foster for a really long time (been dying to set some pan on fire!), so I’ve decided to twist the popular…
Lemon Macarons
I baked these lemon macarons on the same day I baked the chocolate ones. I used up all my lemon zest on the previous batch (which failed) so this batch doesn’t have any zest in it. I actually wanted to add some vanilla extract to make vanilla macarons… but I forgot… oops! Macarons are really…
Egg-Free Dark Chocolate Mousse
I’m supposed to open my textbook and start reading it. I’m supposed to start making notes and start studying! Guess I failed to do so. Well, so I guess I’ll just make this post really short and sweet. People with egg allergy are not allergic to the eggs themselves, but it is the protein…
Ugly Chocolate Cake
A brother is a friend who was once a bother. It’s ironic, puzzling and amusing. Ironic that I can both hate and love him all at the same time. Puzzling why I’m sometimes pleasant while other times nasty to him. Amusing that I have such an entertaining person in the house. When we were younger,…
Strawberry Semifreddo
You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream. We always think that making ice creams and sorbets require a ice cream machine – well at least that’s what I’ve always thought. Even if I choose to make ice cream by hand, it will be pretty tedious and sometimes I am just too lazy…
