Cherry Trifle



Cherry Trifle

im modified the recepis from dailydelicious.blogspots.com

#Lady finger Biscuits About 10 pcs ( cut into size cup that you are using)

For the sugared cherries
2 pints ........................... cherries wash and pitted (about 4 cups)
3 tbsp. ................................ superfine sugar
1tsp ............................... apple cider vinegar
1-2tbsp ......................... lemon juice


For the whipped cream
3cups ............................ whipping or heavy cream
1tbsp. ............................... superfine granulated sugar
1tsp ............................... vanilla extract


To make the sugared cherries, combine the ingredients in a large bowl and toss to blend.Refrigerate for 2 hours, strain, and reserve the liquid.


Make the whipped cream:
To make the whipped cream, bring the ingredients to a soft peak using a standing mixer fitted with a wire whip attachment or hand beaters. Stop the mixer and whip by hand with a balloon whisk until the cream shows a slightly thick body. It should not be at all stiff.

Assemble the dessert:

Cut the lady fingers and place one layer in the bottom of the bowl (I made an individual portion using a pastry brush or squeeze bottle, soak the layer with about one quarter of the sugar syrup and quarter of the reserved liquid from the sugared cherries.
Spoon a generous amount of whipped cream onto the first layer and level it with a ladle or spoon. Place the sugared cherries into the glass, repeat with biscuit and cream (if you make the big one, you will use 3 layers of biscuit, 2 layers of sugared cherries with whipped cream), then decorated with the sugared cherries.
Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving

Apple pie




Pie Crust:
2 1/2 cups (350 grams) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon (30 grams) granulated white sugar
1 cup (226 grams) unsalted butter, chilled, and cut into 1 inch (2.5 cm) pieces
1/4 to 1/2 cup (60 - 120 ml) ice water
AppleFilling:
2 1/2 pounds (1.1 kg) apples(about 6 large), peeled, cored, and sliced 1/4 inch thick (about 8 cups (2 L))
1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated white sugar
1/4 cup (55 grams) light brown sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons (28 grams) unsalted butter
1 1/2 tablespoons (15 grams) cornstarch(corn flour)
Garnish:
Softly whipped cream or vanilla ice cream

Pie Crust: In a food processor, place the flour, salt, and sugar and process until combined.  Add the butter and process until the mixture resembles coarse meal (about 15 seconds).
Pour 1/4 cup (60 ml) water in a slow, steady stream, through the feed tube until the dough just holds together when pinched. If necessary, add more water. Do not process more than 30 seconds.

Turn the dough onto your work surface and gather into a ball. Divide the dough in half, flattening each half into a disk, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about one hour before using. This will chill the butter and relax the gluten in the flour. 
After the dough has chilled sufficiently, remove one portion of the dough from the fridge and place it on a lightly floured surface. Roll the pastry into a 12 inch (30 cm) circle.(To prevent the pastry from sticking to the counter and to ensure uniform thickness, keep lifting up and turning the pastry a quarter turn as you roll (always roll from the center of the pastry outwards).) Fold the dough in half and gently transfer to a 9 inch (23 cm) pie pan. Brush off any excess flour and tuck the overhanging pastry under itself, crimping as desired. Refrigerate the pastry, covered with plastic wrap, for about 30 minutes before filling with the apples



Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place the oven rack at the lowest level and place a baking stone or baking sheet on the rack before preheating the oven. Place a piece of aluminum foil on the stone (or pan) to catch any apple juices. Set the pie on the stone or pan and bake for about 45 to55 minutesor until the juices start to bubble through the slits and the apples feel tender (not mushy) when a toothpick or sharp knife is inserted through one of the slits. Make sure to cover the edges of the pie with a foil ring to prevent over browning after about 30 minutes. Remove the pie from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool for about 3-4 hours before cutting. Serve warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream or softly whipped cream. Store at room temperature for 2 to 3 days.

Diresep ini jga aku pake cara yang paling simple buat karamelnya.. karena biasanya dioriginal toffe/ caramel takes hour to make it... so resep yang ini simple dan bisa kita kurangi ato tambah kadar gulanya.
ada juga yang buat karamelnya pake susu kental manis , saya tidak pilih resep itu karena its so swettt... i dnt like it.

Ingredient

Toffee/ caramel/Dulce de Leche ( im taking from Laura Vitales)modified by me
1/2 cup Gula
½ cup of air
2 sdm cup Light Corn Syrup / 2 sdm date essential/madu
¾ cup Heavy Cream* aku pakai fresh cream/ whippe cream cair/ susu kental manis.
2 sdm Butter suhu ruang

Pastry Cream
Custard powder ( read follow the instructions in package ) just add the milk as in the package required.


Shortbread Crust : Im using 1-1/2 recepis cos im using bigger pie pan
1 1/2 cup (195grams) tpung serba guna
2/3 cup (70 grams)gula halus/bubuk (powdered or icing)
1/4 sdt garam
3/4 cup (170 grams) unsalted butter setengah beku potong kecil2

* 5-7 ripe pisang ambon/sunripe (kupas dan iris menurut selera)di sesuaikan kebutuhan.
* 1 cup whipped cream (kocok whipe cream sampai hard peak )
* 1 Sdm coklat bubuk untuk taburan.


To make the caramel,
siapkan Panci , masukkan gula, air dan corn syrup/madu.
masak dengan api kecil sampai seluruh bahan tercampur rata. JANGAN DIADUK!! cukup goyang memutar pancinya saja.!kemudian besarkan apinya, biarkan sampai berbusa dan berubah warnanya sampai agak coklat keemasan kurang lebih 10 menit tergantung kompor masing 2.
Kecilkan api dan masukkan heavy cream/ cream / SKM.
aduk pelan2 sampai semua tercampur rata.
ketika semua sudah tercampur rata . masukkan butter sampai butternya mencai rata. sisihkan . diginkan.


Pastry Cream:
Kali ini aku memkai tepung custard.
**Noted : hasil akhirnya 1- 1/2 cup( 360ml)
Follow the instructions on the package. let it cool.

Shortbread Crust:
kali ini berhubung buat 1-1/2 resep food processornya kecil jadi aku pake cara tradisional pake garpu aja alatnya.
1. Campur terigu, gula bubuk dan garam. Aduk rata. butter beku, proses dengan menggunakan pisau pastry atau dua buah garpu hingga adonan berbutir-butir.
2 lalu Aduk rata dengan spatula sampai terlihat mulai menyatu adonannya.
3. pindahkan Adonannya di dalam pie Pan yang sudah olesi butter terlebih dahulu. gunakan jari untuk menekan kepinggir dan bawah pie pan samapai rata menutupi iseluruh area pan . tusuk2 bagian bawah nya dengan garpu .
4. tutupi crusnya dengan plastik/ alumunium foil , masukkan dalam dalam frezer selama 15 menit.
5.panaskan oven 220 derajat C.letakkan raknya si tengah .
6. panggang crustnya 13-15 menit samapi glden brown.
biarkan dingin seluruhnya sebelum assemble.


*Assemble*
To Assemble:
1. sipkan crust yang sudah dingin . tuang 3/4 dari caramel/ toffe.
2. tata pisang yang telah diiris diatasnya caramel.
3. Tuang pastry cream/custard cream diatas pisang yang sudah ditata. ratakan ! pastikan menutupi seluruh pisang.
4. tuang dan ratakan whipped cream / ato boleh di masukan ke spuit dan di hias sesuai selera.
5. Taburi dengan coklat bubuk/ parutan coklat kopi bubuk. ( optional)
Sebaiknya di simpan didalam kulkas minimal 2 jam sebelum disajikan.

sajikan degan sisa caramel .



Noted:
- Must chose the good ripe banana but not to much ripe
- Jangan mengaduk adonan dengan tangan langsung. Panas dari tangan akan membuat hasil pienya menjadi keras
- Adonan diistirahatkan dalam lemari es bertujuan untuk melunakkan gluten dalam terigu dan mendinginkan butter dalam adonan. Jadi hasil pienya renyah dan tidak keras.dan mencegah menyusut ketika dipanggang.
- Pastikan pisang tertutup rata dengan passtry ceam / whipped cream . ( karena pisang mudah berubah warna setelah dikupas)
Step By step ada difoto yang satunya.
Happy baking.
