Tjong – caramel chews
As you may have noticed, I did not manage to post another recipe by now. Life is taking over and I have no idea how to continue posting regulary here at the moment. My new job is exciting and challenging, and I love it. The only drawback is that commuting steals that time of the day I usually freed to bake and photograph. Now, instead of baking I sit on the train commuting. I don’t want to put myself under pressure with posting here, so I decided to continue posting irregularly and concentrate more on the photoblog, where photos speak for themselves without many words or instructions. For the moment I want to leave you with a scan of a Swedish recipe for homemade caramel candy. This is such a special recipe – easy in what it requires from the ingredients, but requiring patience and time in preparation. If you have kids – they will be thrilled to see you make caramel candy. They can even help once the mass has cooled and needs to be stretched.
Enjoy, and see you around! ♥
Read Moreturtle brownies
The first time I came across turtles was in New England. Deliciously sweet, chocolate, pecans and caramel – all combined. For a welcome treat I wanted to produce something similar, and came across these at joy of baking. Since pecans are not really affordable over here, I substituted those by walnuts and the heavy cream for the ganache by condensed milk. They came out moist and caramely, just like I hoped them to be. Another (among several) tweak to the original recipe was the substitution of light corn syrup by molasses, which worked out very well. I assume it gives those brownies a more intense taste.

This is dead easy, but so yummy. The story goes that people sing about this mousse. And the story also says that once upon a time, a 16 year old boy from the U.S. was spending some time in Geneva with Madame Piletta. And she used to do this mousse, allowed for the recipe to be taken to the States. And now (many years later) it ended up in Germany, via the lovely mother of this then 16 year old.
Ingredients:
- 200 g dark chocolate
- 2 tbsp coffee (strong fresh one, or dissolvable powder)
- 2 tsp sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 dl heavy cream , whipped or not
Directions:
Melt chocolate together with coffee. Beat egg whites until stiff. Beat egg yolks with sugar. Cool chocolate a little bit and beat in egg-yolk sugar mix. Add and mix carefully egg whites. Beat in heavy cream. Set in refigerator for about 5-6 hours.
