🇵🇭 PERFECT & EASY Silvanas Recipe How to Make Philippine Sylvanas Cookies Using Digestives ANG SARAP

The only difference I observed between sans rival and silvanas is that silvanas are mini versions of sans rival. The ingredients are the same. 

Ingredients:

Merengue 

3 egg whites

1/2 cup cashew nuts (crushed)

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 tsp vinegar pr 1/2 tsp lemon

Corn flour (optional)

Buttercream

3 egg yolks

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup butter (softened)

1 tsp vanilla

Note: Adjust the sugar and butter to liking.

Merengue:

Beat the egg whites until frothy then add the vinegar (lemon).

Gradually add the sugar and beat until medium peaks are formed.

Fold in the cashews and put the mixture in a piping bag.

Trace circles (2-3 inch in diameter) and flatten it.

Bake for 45 mins at 160C or until lightly brown.

Buttercream:

Mix egg yolks and sugar in double boiler until sugar is dissolved.

Remove from heat and beat until light and fluffy.

Add the butter (in batches) then add the vanilla and continue beating until the color becomes light.

Assemble the silvana by alternating merengue and thinlayer of buttercream. Cover it with remaining buttercream and garnish with roughly chopped cashews or crushed graham crackers.

VERDICT

WILL: I am bothering (literally) Abbey about this cake. Almost every day I kept on blabbering what kind of nuts is perfect for the cake. wink-wink So one day, he have done it and kept on doing it in 3 consecutive months until it is perfect for me. Haha. 

How was it? The merengue crust is not that crunchy but chewy, just the way I like it. The nutty frosting is not that sweet and just perfect even without a black coffee pairing. 

Whenever I watch him baking this cake, it seems so easy and can finish doing it in 3hours (including the baking time). BUT you can only eat the cake by next day. Why? It taste better once the frosting already sipped in to it merengue crust!

WILL: COVID 19 cancelled all our holiday plans in Manila. The places we will visit..the food that we will linger into. It is indeed upsetting. 

Abbey do his best to solve the problem.. ahm well my problem on wanting to eat a Becky’s Chocolate Swiss Cake.

 

It is exactly (swak na swak) the same taste as the original. The simple chocolate cake, the not so sweet icing and the soothing cracking sound of the toffee! Yumminess to the nth level. 

Please bake try this on your kitchen. Did I mentioned that Becky’s Swiss Chocolate Cake location can only found at Valle Verde and behind La Salle? So you know now their market right? Wink-wink.

 

Easy Cheesecake Recipe

2 250g-block Philadelphia cream-cheese
2/3 cup castor sugar
1 cup sour cream
1 cup whipped cream
2-3 tsp vanilla
1-2 tsp lemon juice
5 tsp unflavored gelatin powder
1 200g-pack or graham crackers (preferably crushed)
1/2 block of butter (melted)

In a bowl, mix butter and graham crackers until the texture is like a wet sand. This will serve as your base. Put the mixture in a spring-form cake tin (20cm diameter). Compress it with the bottom of a glass. Place it on a freezer to harden. Then make the cake.

Soften the cheese by putting it out off the fridge until the it has the room temperature. Put it in the bowl and mix it with other ingredients; sour cream, sugar, whipped cream, lemon, vanilla, and gelatin powder. Continue to mix it (not whip) until the consistency is smooth.

Pour in on to the base and cover it with aluminum foil. Place in freezer a minimum of 6 hours (depends upon your freezer's power), preferably overnight.


Put in a cake stand, cut and enjoy with tea.

VERDICT
WILL: I know that Abbey loves me a lot but he never fails to make me feel that every now and then. Making my favorite cake is always on his list.

He made a cheesecake! Gosh! The taste is pretty same with the popular cafes. I talked about it for days how good the cake was and even our housemates confirmed it.

Now, everyone is requesting for it this holiday season. You can order the cake for a minimum fee. Please give Abbey a call, haha!

Secret Recipe Singapore

ABBEY: We finally landed our feet on this diner at Vivo. Chat always tells us that the food here is great. We ordered chicken lasagna for me and a slice of Chocolate Indulgence for Wilma. Truly, the food is great. Serving is enough for my stomach to be filled in. 20SGD for a snack in Secret Recipe is good.

WILL: Abbey is waiting for their December party to begin. After his shift, we met and went to Vivo City. This is our fave mall here in Singapore, we just roamed around and bought some sneakers. 
      
We decided to taste the well recommended restaurant of Chat. Ordering the famous Chocolate Indulgence. By its name, we were really indulged. :) Happy sweet tooth.
