Chocolate . Indulgence

Chocolate never failed to please me. Well, I hardly see anyone who doesn't take chocolate, white chocolate, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, at least one? Made a chocolate mousse cake to celebrate my hubby's birthday few months back, a 7inch cake finished by us the next day, have to emphasize, only in two sessions! He told me" I never have so much in my life". Haha... I wanted to tell him, there are more for you to eat. White chocolate is his most favourite, he likes everything sweeeet.. anything to do with coconut milk, the "lemak" kind of food. This dessert is specially make for him but.. I finished two tarts up to now. This white chocolate mousse has no exception with any kind of mousse which is having the "melt-in-mouth" feel. The silky texture of the mousse... muakss.. simply irresistible! Wonder if he is looking at this post, come back early today before the tarts gone. Let me try the dark chocolate mousse tart for the next round, all mine!

Macaron with chocolate ganache

These pictures show my love for macarons...

Fell in love with macaron when I first encountered them in Paris. Was fascinated by the colourful shell and different combination of fillings. For those who know me well, I have a weakness for chocolate, especially dark chocolate. I chose to use 70% dark chocolate for this macaron just to balance up the sweetness from the macaron shell itself. After the 1001th of making it (lose count), I finally got the texture that I have been looking for long time, crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle. So far the biggest hindrance for me is getting a macaron with the empty shell. Now, I start practising the italian meringue method as it seems like giving me the best result that I want. Used to be surprise on how much it costs for a macaron of course I do understand the reason behind now. :)
