Coconut Milo Agar-Agar

I got 2 packets of free "Bumas" coconut cream from an event,and I wanted to use it up and so make this agar-agar with milo.

Ingredients:

30g agar-agar strips

700ml water

3/4 cup milo

1 cup  sugar

90ml Bumas  coconut cream

1.  Soak agar agar 30 mins before cooking.

2.  Throw away the soak water.Boil the agar-agar with 700ml of water until well dissolved.

3.  Add in the sugar.Stir well.

4.  Lastly add in the coconut cream and stir again until thoroughly mixed

5.  Divide the mixture into half.Add milo in one half,and leave the other half plain.

6.  Put the plain agar-agar back to the fire under low heat so that the agar-agar won't set.

7.  Pour the milo agar-agar mixture into a tray.When it is halfway set,but look firmed,
     pour the hot plain agar-agar mixture over the top.Leave it to cool and put inside the
     fridge to chilled so that you have a cool and chilling agar-agar.Best served on sunny days.

Milo Jelly

Milo Jelly

You don't know how good this one is.Only with the taste of Milo.If you love Milo,you would love this Jelly that I've made:

750ml water
100g castor sugar
2 tbsps jelly powder
5 full tbsps Milo+1/4 cup boiling water

1.Stir the milo with the hot water until dissolved well.
2.Put all ingredients in a pan and bring to boil stirring continously under low fire until the jelly
   powder are dissolved.
3.Turn off the fire.Cool the jelly before chilling for several hours.

The weather is so hot out there. This comes perfect for the day.I would love to make fanciful agar-agar or jellies but my time is very limited.

Sponge Cake top with Jelly

I'm supposed to make a three-layer jelly cake,but I ended  out making this one.For days,I I kept thinking of making a sponge cake at the bottom and two layers of jelly in the middle and top but I don't know why in the end I made only a sponge cake top with a thin piece of jelly only.Sigh!
(any brand sponge cake mix will do, just follow the box instructions)

Recipe:
500g ready-mix Soon Huat moh sponge flour mix(before baking,take half the cake mixture only)
7 eggs(at room temperature)
100g water

Using an electric mixer,mix together the above ingredients and beat at highest speed  for 45 minutes until frothy.Bake in the oven at 180ºC until done.Cool the cake.

Bake the rest of the cake mixture.(I make 2 set to give 1 set to my relative)

To make the jelly:
A.500ml evaporated milk
    100g sugar
    1/4 tsp salt
    1tablespoon jelly powder

B.200ml water
    2 pandan leaves,knotted
    50g Hoen Kwee green pea flour
    1 teaspoon pandan paste

Method:
1.Boil ingredients(A) till jelly powder is sissolved.
2.Add in ingredients(B).Discard the pandan leaves.
3.Put the green pandan paste in and stir until well- mix.Quickly pour half the jelly on top of the
   sponge cake.Let it cool and refrigerate.

This is how I made my Jelly Sponge Cake.The three layers will have to wait someday when I am free again.
