German pudding tart





German Pudding Tart is recently one of the most popular desserts in Asia. It is similar to HK classic egg tart, except it is 2x bigger in size. And it's baked in cupcake liners. While Hong Kong egg tarts are small, usually about 3 inches in diameter.


If you love egg tarts, you have eaten the classic version of egg tarts, and the Macau version of Portuguese tarts, then you must try this popular German pudding egg tart, which is very different from the egg tarts we often eat.  The thick, crispy tart crust tastes like a cookie! Coupled with the pudding-like texture, it really tastes so good that you want to eat a few more! 


You may ask what the difference between German pudding and the classic HK egg tart is? Yes, there is a difference with the filling. 



German pudding is using heavy cream while classic egg tart is using milk or evaporated milk.  The filling texture for German pudding is creamy while classic egg tart is silky smooth like a steamed egg.


About the crust, there are some critical steps that need to be paid attention to: -

1) Refrigerate the crust for 30min

2) Prebaked the refrigerated tart to avoid the crust turning soggy because of the addition of liquid.

3) The egg liquid must be sieved so that the egg tarts will taste as smooth and tender as pudding~


This German pudding egg tart is so delicious, and you can't stop eating it. .... I do believe that you can do better.

Dong Po Rou (东坡肉)

Dong Po Rou (东坡肉) – wine braised pork belly. It’s rich and savoury, tender that melts into your mouth. Traditionally, the pork belly is pan-fried before being braised or stewed for one to one and a half hours on low heat. Some of the recipes even call for steaming for an additional half an hour after stewing. It is very time-consuming. But as you are aware, I enjoy making recipes simpler without compromising the taste. You, too, I'm sure. Therefore, I skipped the pan-frying step and proceeded directly to braising the pork after blanching it, and then continued to cook with a pressure cooker. Don't worry; the dish's flavour remains unaffected. I'm hoping this simplified method may come in handy for your regular cooking. Trim off the edges of the pork and cut it into 3x3 cubes. Tie cooking twine around each cube. This will assist the cubes in keeping their form while cooking. If the pork that you bought is at the mid portion of the belly is ideal, there is a nice bala...

Canned braised pork belly (罐头扣肉)

  A must-have dish for the Lunar New Year is steamed braised pork ( 扣肉 ). Some people enjoy making braised pork with yam, while others prefer to use preserved veggies. The key to making braised pork is to boil the meat first, then deep-fry it, and finally steam it. The sauces are the key to enhancing the flavour of the braised pork with either yam or preserved veggies. Of course, choosing pork that is half-fat and lean pork belly tastes the best is also crucial.   You can choose how thinly you want the pork slices. I sliced my pork to a thinness of 10 to 15 mm thinness.  Another crucial tip is to just use wine and no water when preparing the braised pork. I'm using Shaoxing wine, and it's been proven that the more wine you use, the tastier and more fragrant the meat will be and that the meat will remain fragrant after stewing. As I mentioned, this braised pork needs to boil first, then be deep-fried.  For those who find frying meat is very troublesome , you can w...

Ginkgo Bean Curd and Barley Sugar dessert (白果腐竹薏米糖水)

Do you miss this delicacy of Ginkgo Bean Curd and Barley Sugar dessert? When did you most recently enjoy or make it? Ginkgo, commonly known as ginkgo. It is very popular when used to cook bean curd sheets. I went to a dessert house two days ago. The waitress was serving this dessert to a young lady who was sitting next to me. I overheard that lady comment about that dessert is different from other dessert houses. So, I give it a go. I am not sure how it was different from other dessert houses. But it is different from what I had before. It is creamy, smooth, and rich in flavour. So, I am going to copycat this, and my family loves it so much. Especially youngsters who do not like any small chunks to chew on with liquid dessert. This dessert can be cooked on the stove or pressure cooker. There's a catch, though: Yuba sheets or bean curd sheet, also known as Fu Chuk, come in a variety of forms.   If you opt for making this dessert over a stove, need to choose the kind that disso...
