[零麵粉甜品食譜] 有個靚女請我食KETO BROWNIES

有次為一間食店拍攝品牌照片，其中一個系列需要一雙美麗的手出鏡，客戶特地找來她的朋友T當手模，不得不提T是個文青系美女，短髮大眼，身型高瘦，極似中學時期偶像孫燕姿。T帶來一份自家製的Keto Brownies跟我們分享，那是我第一次吃零麵粉的生酮brownies，口感與味道都跟平常的十分相似，加上能在不增加身體負擔的情況吃甜品，我很高興也覺得T為我打開了眼界！大概幾個月後因為iherbs減價，我就第一次在iherbs訂了椰糖和杏仁粉等等健康食材，也第一次製作了Keto Brownies。 生活中我們接收很多資訊，然而當要真正轉化成經驗時，仍然十分講究緣份的來臨。

KETO BROWNIES

材料：

130g 無鹽牛油 (室溫)

150g 椰糖

80g 無糖可可粉

1/2 tsp 鹽

2隻蛋 (室溫）

70g 杏仁粉

做法：

1. 焗爐以180度預熱；

2. 無鹽牛油、椰糖、無糖可可粉及鹽混合，隔熱水煮成漿，間其不斷攪拌，熄火後待冷；

3. 將雞蛋放打進(1)，每次一隻，完全攪拌至融合( 不要過度攪拌，否則口感會太硬）；

4. 加入杏仁粉及攪拌至完全混合，倒進六吋方形盤，焗20分鐘，放涼後即成。
   

*這次我將一排即將過最佳食用時期的黑朱古力隔水融掉，塗在焗完放涼後的brownies上，再將切半的士多啤梨擺在朱古力面上，放進雪櫃雪幾小時後再吃。

Handcrafted Caffeine-free Summer Tea!

I am an espresso person, having a cup of double espresso in the morning marks the start of my day. Sometimes when I need a second zip of caffeine, it has to be taken before 2pm ( tested and proved ) otherwise it will be a sleepless night. The other night I start to think about non-caffeine tea that can keep me refreshing and delightful when I am pulling an all-nighter. Camomile, hibiscus and bufferfly peas are some of my favourite edible flowers for making tea, simply stir in honey and lemon could make it a great one. I like to enjoy it on a summer night (or day), when I need a little break from work.
