    Food For the Gods

    Share


    It’s that time of the year when I plan the baked goodies that I plan to give as gifts to my friends. Food for the Gods is such a delightful recipe to bake during the holidays when one doesn’t have the time to bake Fruit Cake. It entails less preparation and baking time. It’s the perfect dessert to prepare beforehand. Baked with a delightful blend of dates and walnuts, molasses, tinge of brandy and cinnamon, the taste is reminiscent of fruit cake sans the fruit glaze. You should try it. It’s simple to bake. Your kitchen will also emit holiday aroma that gives you more reason to keep baking and baking.

    Here is my recipe to start you off baking a dessert fit even for gods.

    Leche Flan Recipe

    Share

    leche flan

    The original leche flan recipe was from my Mom but my sister Lorna reconfigured it to fit her tastes.

    The perfect flan is such that when you slice through it, it barely quivers like jello. There is very little syneresis, that is, no weeping (or lots of holes in it!). I am sharing this precious recipe so you may prepare it for your family.

    5 eggyolks
    2 eggs
    1 can condensed milk
    1 can water (use the condensed milk’s can for measuring)
    1 tbsp. vanilla to add to the mixture
    1/4 cup to 1/3 cup sugar for caramelization

  • Get a pyrex loaf dish (or equivalent oval, square, or round dish).
  • Caramelize 1/3 cup sugar in it. Use your oven. When the sugar is starting to melt, make sure that you watch carefully. You don’t want the caramel to be too dark or it will taste burnt. Manipulate the dish until you are sure that the caramel is evenly placed on the bottom of the pan. Let the pan rest on the stove top.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • These are the cooking times:

    For the first 45 minutes: 325 degrees Fahrenheit
    For the next 20 to 25 minutes, until the toothpick test shows that the flan is done: 350 degrees Fahrenheit

    Ube Halaya or Jalea de Ubi

    Share

    ube HalayaUbe (Purple Yam) Halaya is one of my favorite desserts that I remember with fondness. Mom often prepared Ube Halaya in a pyrex dish. I liked the natural purple color instead of the bright purple color that I often see in commercial ube halaya. The best ube comes from Bohol because of its aromatic fragrance and sweetness. Perhaps, this legend explains the gift granted to the Bohol Ube Kinampay. Kinampay is a kind of ubi, the most expensive kind yet there are many varieties that are named Kinampay. The Bohol Ube Kinampay can be found in Dauis, Panglao, Tagbilaran, Corella and other southwestern towns of Bohol.

    Granting you have the Bohol Ube, here is a simple recipe of Ube Halaya prepration. There are many variations that use coconut milk and evaporated milk but I use condensed milk.

    Blueberry Cheesecake

    Share

    blueberry cheesecakeBaking a birthday cake can be a daunting task but that didn’t stop me from baking and show my labor of love to my 21 year old daughter. I begged off from icing a cake so I asked her “will blueberry cheesecake do?”

    Fortunately she agreed. Topped with a lone pink birthday candle, my daughter made her birthday wish.

    My blueberry cheesecake is not very sweet. Topped with ready-made blueberry filling easily makes it sweet. Actually you can choose any toppings for the cheesecake but the kids prefer blueberry.

    Here is my recipe for Blueberry Cheesecake:
