White custard cake with prune sauce

-

 Also known as Manjar de coco com calda de ameixa this desert is used a lot in the portuguese cuisine and is absolutely amazing and compares to the Brazilian Pudim de Leite or Flan. The consistency is just about the same but its made with condensed milk and coconut milk and has a soft creamy firm texture and is served with a sweetened jam like prune sauce drizzled on top. Absolutely delicious and once you try it you can't get enough of it.

Made in a bundt pan with only 5 ingredients, it doesn't even go into the oven, its really quick and easy to make, and can be done in mere minutes and enjoyed the same day.

Ingredients
2 cups milk
5 tbsp cornstarch
1 can condensed milk
1 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup water
4 oz prunes

You can start by making your prune sauce. In a smalll pot add in your prunes, sugar and water and on medium low heat cook it all together until it begins to boil and thicken. The prunes will soften and it will all become a jam like syrup. Once it becomes like that you are done. Set aside

Then very lightly butter your bundt pan, and set aside.

In a bowl adding a little at a time to not form clumps. Dissolve the cornstarch into the cold milk. Once it is completely dissolved add it into a small pot and add your other ingredients into the mixture your coconut milk and condensed milk.

Stir constantly On low heat until it noticeably thickens and begins to boil. Allow to cool for about 45 minutes and then pour mixture into your lightly buttered bundt pan. Refrigerate for about 3-4 hours before carefully turning it over and serving with your prune sauce drizzled on top.

Do you get a white ooze when cooking Salmon?

Does your salmon often look like this when you cook it? Tried baking, frying, poaching it but this stuff keeps coming out? Quick tip: when cooking salmon it is common for a white sort of cream to come oozing out all around the fish. Though it does not affect the taste. It can be found to be annoying and not pretty. But I found the trick to solving this problem, it happens because salmon is an oily fish, there are many oils within the fish itself. When cooking all of these oils come out in the form of this white ooze, normally from my own experience, when this happens the fish tends to become dry. Because now all of that moisture and oils meant to keep the fish succulent and juicy was just taken out. I found a solution to this problem. To keep all the oils locked in, you need to dry out the surface of the fish.  Before seasoning drizzle a little bit of vinegar on the fish and rub it in well. Continue your seasoning process. You will see that your problem will be resolved. ...

Well my mom and grandma were  both born in Furna - Brava, Cape Verde also known for its portuguese name as CaboVerde. A portuguese speaking Island off of the coast of West Africa. Me in CapeVerde In CapeVerde just like in any other Country there are many traditional dishes such as 2 of the main ones. Cuscus - a breakfast bread and Cachupa- a heavy soup for lunch. These are 2 of my favorite Capeverdian foods along with others such as funginho, gigacida, and the list goes on. Cuscus is a breakfast food. For those of you who don't know what it is, its similar to a corn muffin or a corn type of bread. It is made fresh and eaten whilst hot off of the stove spread with loads of butter to melt nicely on top. I love eating this with my favorite rasberry tea. Some of you might hate i...
