Home Cooked Food: Vultius Ice Cream Sandwich



For these last posts for our project, we will all be posting a ‘homemade’ dish that we create throughout our journey. We have been rating food and its time to put our culinary skills to test how well we can do some dishes. We will all be doing a 5-course meal, consisting of appetizers, main dish, salad, dessert and drinks. For me, I did the dessert. I did a simplified version of it as we have to cook with all the ingredients that we had and also I had to do mine below 10 minutes. So I would like to test myself. The dessert is called ‘Vultius Ice Cream Sandwich’. It is a very simple dish with very prep and cooking time needed. I named the dessert Vultius Ice Cream Sandwich as Vultius is my Freshmen Orientation Camp(FOC) subgroup. They are my first family in Ngee Ann Poly and so I made a dessert with our subgroup name in the title. The dessert is covered by Graham Crackers. In between those two crackers, are bittersweet chocolates with Vanilla flavoured Ice-Cream in between them. Then, I cut the remaining chocolates I have and put a ‘V’ in front of the sandwich to represent my subgroup. Now, I will share 2 ingredients to make this Ice-Cream Sandwich. One is the simplified version and the other is the real deal.
SIMPLIFIED VERSION(servings of 5 people)


Ingredients needed
10 Graham Crackers
1 Bittersweet Chocolate
Vanilla Ice Cream
Steps
1. Spread out 5 Graham Crackers around the plate for the base.
2. Break the bittersweet chocolate according to the size of the crackers and put it on top of the graham cracker
3. Place Vanilla ice-cream on top of the chocolate and cover the ice cream carefully with the same size of the bittersweet chocolate.
4. Cover the whole sandwich with the graham cracker.
5. Design the plate as you wish

2. Put chocolate in microwave safe bowl and microwave it on high heat for about 90 seconds stirring every 30-35 seconds until it has that peanut butter smoothness.
3. Spread chocolate on the crackers. Let it cool for a while
4. Place ice-cream  on top of the marshmallow and cover it with another cracker. Press gently.

Home Cooked Food : Oreo Milkshake



As for our last post for our project, we decided to make our own dish. A few of us went to our groupmate, Jason's house to make a full meal with the drink, dessert and a main dish. I was in charge of making the drink which is Oreo Milkshake which is very easy to do so now I am going to teach you how to do.

The Ingredients:
1) Ice-cream (of your favourite choice of flavour however we recommend vanilla or chocolate and for this time we used chocolate)
2) Oreo
3) milk
4) ice(optional)

Steps:
1) First put the Oreo (1 packet) into the blender
2) Next pour 250ml of milk into the blender
3) next put one or two scoop of ice-cream or any amount of scoop
4) Lastly put ice (if you want) and BLEND

And you are done with your milkshake! The picture above is the outcome of our Chocolate Oreo Milkshake

Home Cooked Food: French Toast


This will be our last post for the project, however we will continue posting once we have the time and tried new food in the future. For this post, we all will be doing a ‘homemade’ post. You might be wondering what a ‘homemade’ post is. This ‘homemade’ post will be all foods that are cooked by ourselves! As for me, I will do a post on French Toast. French Toast is considered my childhood food as my mother would always cook this food for me when I’m young. 

French Toast can be easily made with just bread and eggs by frying them together until golden brown colour. Despite being a very simple dish, I always find this dish very nice and therefore, I urge everyone to try cooking it yourself!

Thank you everyone for your support this few weeks! We hope that you like our post this few weeks. As there will be upcoming test for us, we will be having a hiatus before we continue post. I would like to end my post with this quote There is no love sincerer than the love of food.” – George Bernard Shaw

Till we see again, eat well!
