Recipe: Nutella-Cheese Muffins

-
Before we start, let me tell you that the original recipe came from David Lebovitz's Black-Bottom Cupcakes


Oh ya, I really don't know how to differentiate between cupcakes and muffins, so let's call them cupcakes AND muffins, okay?

Okay. Now... my Nutella 'supplier' from Singapore (a.k.a. Tc Sharifah Haslina in Adni) - because it's waaay cheaper over there - told me that Nutella cupcakes are reaaally nice! So finally I get to try bake some. And since I really love black-bottom cupcakes, I decided to combine both recipes.

The recipe below prepares a dozen (12) cupcakes

Cheese Mix:
227g of Cream Cheese
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg

Nutella Mix:
1 cup Nutella
60 g plain flour
1 ½ tsp baking powder
2 eggs
2 tbsp Milk
A pinch of salt

Optional:
Coarsely-chopped hazelnuts
Semi-sweet chocolate chip

Steps:
1. Preheat oven to 170 degrees.
2. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt set aside.
3. In a large bowl, mix all the Nutella Mix.
(tips: Mix the wet ingredients first, and then fold in flour mixture and mix until smooth)
4. In another large bowl, beat the Cheese Mix until fluffy.
5. Scoop Nutella Mix into muffin cups (half-full) and top it up with a tablespoon of Cheese Mix.
6. Top it with hazelnuts / chocolate chips.
7. Bake muffins for about 20 to 25 minutes.


Oh, just in case you don't have any Nutella in hand, you can always go back to the original recipe using chocolate :) Here's the mix:

1 ½ cup flour
1 cup brown sugar
5 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup boiling water

Want some oil-less keropok lekor ? Got some in your freezer but using air-fryer will make them dry and hard to chew? Here's the tips: 1. Take them out of the freezer 2. Defrost / soak them in warm water to separate each piece. 3. If it 's still frozen, dip it in boiling water for a few seconds;     if not, hot water is enough. 4. Toss away the water. 5. Cut it into smaller pieces. You can also cut it before Step 3 if you want. 5. 'Fry' the keropok lekor inside the air-fryer for 10 minutes, at 180 degrees Celcius. Kalau ada yang KEMPUNAN tapi TAK TAU KAT MANA NAK BELI YG SEDAP KAT KL ni, boleh beli dari kawan saya

right person at the wrong time

right person at the wrong time that feeling when you meet the right person at the wrong time is one of the hardest feelings to go through it's definitely not spoken about hard enough the chemistry you have together are matched you really like each other a lot maybe you even love each other but you know that it is impossible for you to be together right now circumstances just don't allow it but you're in denial you still have hope so every single night when your head hits the pillow you lie there trusting the universe to maybe, just maybe, one day bring that person back into your life...
