Tamarillo Juice / Jus terong Belanda

Setiap pagi berangkat kantor, saya selalu lewat pasar Palmerah. Di tempat saya biasa menunggu angkot, ada penjual buah-buahan buat jus. Dari mulai jambu biji, strawberi, buah naga, alpukat, mangga (aneka macam mangga !!), jeruk, melon, dan terong Belanda.

Sebenarnya terong Belanda ini biasa saya nikmati dalam bentuk sirup warna ungu, yang dijual di supermarket. Tapi kali itu saya penasaran ingin merasakan rasa aslinya dan bagaimana cara mengolahnya. Setelah browsing-browsing cari resep, akhirnya saya mendapatkan resepnya.

Dan...seperti biasa, saya tidak punya takaran khusus untuk resep ini. Bahan-bahannya hanya terong belanda, gula pasir, es batu, sedikit air matang, dan terakhir susu kental manis. Caranya juga mudah, masukan terong Belanda (yang dibelah dua, buang bijinya, keruk dagingnya), es batu, air, dan gula pasir ke dalam blender. Semakin banyak buahnya berarti semakin terasa rasa buahnya kan ? :D Setelah lembut, masukan ke dalam gelas, tambahkan susu putih di atasnya.

Rasanya agak-agak asam manis, tapi yang jelas sih...beda dengan rasa sirupnya.
Mudah sekali kan....

Chocolate-covered Oreo cookies with colorful sprinkle

Oreo rocks....!!! Hahaha ..... keep Oreo sandwich biscuits in your house and you could make some simple recipes from it. Oreo smoothies, Oreo cheesy cream and also chocolate-covered Oreo. Magic, how I can managed 3 boys in the same room and make this recipe together. Oreo is my savior.

I had posted this recipe few months ago, it's still the same recipe with the old one. The difference is only by sprinkling the colorful sprinkle on top of these cookies. The kids were so happy with the sprinkle, though the sprinkle has no specific taste at all.

I didn't scaling or weighting in this recipe. As I mentioned before in one of my post, that I wasn't born to cook. Me and baking are almost like enemies :D. Maybe because I hate scaling and weighting ingredients, and (hate to admit it) sometimes I don't read the step by step carefully. So, it happens a lot I ended up with failure :D. Now, food photography is become my biggest passion. Don't get it wrong when I take pictures of bought food.

What you need for this recipe are (of course) Oreo cookies, dark chocolate, white chocolate and sprinkle. Easy, right ?

How to :
1. In a stainless steel bowl set over a saucepan of boiling water, put in the dark cooking chocolate and white chocolate. Stir until melted, remove from heat.
2. Using two forks, dip Oreos (a couple at a time, depending on the size of your bowl) in the melted chocolate and coat both sides. Place on cookie sheet lined with parchment or wax paper. (Decorate top of cookie with colorful sprinkles or crushed candy canes, if you like)
3. Let set in refrigerate for about 45 minutes to an hour.


Enjoy.....
