Homemade Fruit Enzyme, Muffins And Oreo+Kit Kat Soy Ice Cream (With CUTE ANIMALS!)

On Labour Day we took the holiday as a chance to do some experiments in our kitchen. I know what you're thinking - 'is this going to be another food post?' and 'is this blog becoming a food blog now?' Yes and no. I've been writing about food as of late, because that's what we've been doing a lot recently. Judging from the analytics of this blog, most people come here to check on camera related stuff (and sometimes for the Air Asia Call Centre) and this may not be your thing. It's okay, I do appreciate your presence and as proof of that please enjoy the following pictures.

Thanks for dwopping by
 

Too cute!
Alright then, on with the food.
Grape and pear fruit enzymes, will have to wait 3 weeks before harvesting this.Check back later!
The Mrs made banana muffins, half of them with red bean paste as filling
The Oreo+Kit Kat Soy Ice Cream

I'm pleased that the ice cream turned out so well. It is not that difficult to make, and given that we eat quite a lot of ice cream, I think we'll be doing this more.

Recipe List
1 Cup Cream
1 Cup Milk ( we used soy, that's all we had in the fridge)
3 egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
Oreo, Kit kat or whatever you want the ice cream to taste like

Add the cream and milk together and bring it to boil.


Separate the yolks and beat them together with the sugar.


Remove the cream/milk mixture from the fire and pour in the yolks, a little bit at a time while stirring. Put this in the fridge to cool.


Get a big pot and fill it with ice and salt.


Put the pot with the ice cream to be inside the bigger pot and put in the freezer. Check on it every 20 - 30 mins and break up any ice crystals you find at the side. Do this 4-5 times. The purpose of doing this is to make the ice cream 'creamy' instead of having them turned out like popsicles.

Add whatever you want to the ice cream. We used oreo and kit kats here. If it's not sweet enough for your liking you can add honey or more sugar. After half a day, transfer it to a container for keeping and enjoy!
