Test Kitchen 02

My aunt have been bugging us to make tiramisu as she wanted to know how much it would cost, and how much work it would require. After buying the ingredients about a week ago, we finally set a date and time and got down to layering the dessert this afternoon. Before this, she also mentioned that someone made a caramel banana dessert she wanted to try and I suggested we make it different and with localised flavours.

We started with making the tiramisu, and after all the coffee extraction, egg beating and layering, we got the dessert in the fridge within an hour. We then started on the caramel banana dessert using a gula melaka caramel, and coconut cream. It was relatively easy, just biscuit crumbs and butter, topped with caramel bananas, and topped that with a layer of whipped coconut cream. Done within another hour. We had a bit more biscuit base left and decided to finish up my lemon curd from my last experiment. So last dessert was just as easy, layer of biscuit, lemon curd and green-tinted, whipped coconut cream with toasted coconut for a little pizazz!

3 hours, 3 desserts!
