The Ice Cream Tragedy

School holiday is always wanted by teachers more than students, I guess, for I am a teacher and I do enjoy school holidays more than my students do. Cuti akhir tahun ni yang paling best sebab cuti yang paling panjang sampai kadang-kadang sampai bosan rasa rindu pula pada sekolah.

Oleh sebab terlalu bosan, mulalah minat terhadap pencuci mulut, desserts menguasai diri. So I browsed the net, watched various Youtube videos, and recently I had the itch to make my own ice cream (since I have the machine but never been used). Maka saya pun mencari resepi dan cara-cara nak buat aiskrim di Youtube, until I came across a video.

Nak jadi cerita, sebab punyalah semangat nak buat aiskrim, lepas tgok video tu saya cepat-cepat ke dapur and gather all the ingredients needed. When I have done the first step which is making the custard based, my sis complaint that it was very very sweet. I confidently told her that when it becomes ice-cream, the sweetness will go away. She was convinced, and she watched the video that I watched. Guess what, I had made a very silly mistake-I heard the man wrongly: he said 3/4 cup of sugar, I heard 3 cups of sugar!!

To make the ice-cream less sweet, I decided to make a double batch of ice-cream, without sugar and mix with the earlier, sweet batch. Alhamdulillah, the batches came together nicely.

And now, I have 3 batches of ice-cream of different flavours, to gulped down. Anyone care to join me?

Moral of the story: Listen carefully, research more before you do something!
