I have always loved brownies and when I found this recipe I certainly felt a need to share. I plan to serve this for our Eid-ul Fitr celebration =)

Ingredients:
3 1/4 cups of flour
2 eggs

A pinch of salt


How to do it?

Whip eggs, butter, sugar, cooking oil and vanilla essence. In another pan, melt cooking chocolate. Then add in flour, cooking chocolate, salt and nuts to the mixture.
Leave it in the oven for 30 minutes at 200 degrees celsius.

Simple right? Have fun!

Oreo Cheesecake

Ingredients:
Crust
12 digestive biscuits (blended finely)
2 tbsp of margarine (melted)

Cheesecake
1 cup of thickened cream
1 1/2 cup of cottage cheese
10 pieces of oreo cookies (blended finely)

Ready to start? Let's go!

Melt margarine (you can substitute with butter if you like) then add in the digestive biscuits and mix them well. Flatten the mixture (it should be dough-like and kinda sticky) at the base of your casserole dish or your cake pan. Then leave it into the oven for 10 minutes at 150 degrees.

For the cheesecake, whip the cream and cheese until the mixture looks fluffy. Add in a half a handful of blended oreo cookies into the mixture and mix well. Then pour the mixture over the crust. The balance of the blended oreo cookies on top of the whole cake (like some sort of deco on top of the cake).

Done it all? Leave your cake in the fridge and voila! You've made an oreo cheesecake =)

Yummy!

Puding Sha Na Na

This is one of my favorite desserts as it is not only yummy, but it is terribly easy to make. Puding Sha Na Na is a two layer pudding, the bottom half is butter pudding and the upper half is chocolate.


The Ingredients


Ingredients:
Bottom layer
1 packet of agar-agar powder
5 tbs custard powder
7 eggyolk
1 can of ideal milk
1 1/2 glass of sugar
250g butter
1 litre water



Top layer
1 glass of milo
3/4 glass of sugar
1 packet of agar-agar powder

7 egg whites
3 glass of water



Separate the egg whites and the egg yolks


Directions:
Bottom layer
Heat water in a medium-sized pot. Add in agar-agar powder. Stir until the water heats up to boiling point.

Some mixin' in action

In the meantime, mix egg yolks, butter and sugar until the mixture looks fluffy. Then add in custard powder (you might want to mix the custard powder with a bit of water first to make sure that there'll be no lumps in your mixture.

Then, add your butter mixture and such into the boiling water. Add in ideal milk and stir until the mixture reaches boiling point (tip: it looks kinda thick and looks like a broth). Finally pour your mixture into glass containers (or wherever you like) and let it cool.


The bottom layer is ready

Top layer
Heat water and add in agar-agar powder (like what you did for the bottom layer). Add in milo to the mixture.


In another bowl, mix egg whites and sugar until its fluffy (similar to what you did with the bottom layer). Once the water starts to boil and the broth is looks thick, add in your mixture of egg whites and sugar into the water. Stir until the mixture reaches boiling point and then add in your mixture into the glass containers on top of the bottom layer (duh!). Let the whole thing cool prior to serving.



Voila! The upper layer, ready to eat! =)

Tip:
Prior to adding in the top layer, you might want to scratch the surface of the bottom layer with a fork. This will make sure than both layers are well stuck to each other prior to serving, otherwise the whole thing might slip apart once you slice the pudding and serve.
