This is not a chemitry lab report kthx

I'm obsessed with sugar cos sweet things basically jolly up fucked mood.

And the best thing is it's relatively cheap and aphrodisiac, diabetic, anti-depressant...

Aside from risking my life from diabetes, obesity, hyperactive, hypertonic, hypertension,hyperbola and whatever, you know I can't be bothered when it comes to things that to be tucked into, swallow, digest, excrete, repeat the cycle either until you died, having constipation or whatnot.

Ok ok...the point is, I tried to do caramel apple ice cream few days ago without correct ingredients but at least those that I had were not remotely far. Such as,

1. brown sugar instead of white sugar ,man, white sugar is super diabetic if you didn't already know.

2. creamer instead of whipping cream

3. fuji apples, don't use royal gala cos you will most likely ended up eating apple crumble or mashed apple which taste like teflon

4. cinnamon

5. dry gin

6. perseverance, perpetually burning passion and a functioning non stick pan to prevent your wok or lousy pan got sugarcoated like kena galvanized

So it's very simple and easy in fact like how we fry scramble eggs or cook that bowl of to-die-for Indo-mee *yums*. Anyways,

1. Pour approx. 100g of sugar into a dry non stick pan.

2. Agitate those sugars if you are impatient breed like me who refuse to stone there whilst waiting for them to melt and incinerate into caramel.

3. Once sugar melted and caramelized, immediately add creamer/whipping cream into caramel and stir as vigorous as you can, so to say, get rid of your flabby arms.

4. Whilst stirring the mixture, add in slices of apples into the pan and fry them slowly until you think it's close to burning.

5. You are more than allowed to add cinnamon and alcohol additionally, but advice is not to add dry gin (my 2nd attempt failed and the caramel apple tasted like 20% ethanol in chemistry lab!), you've been warned. It depends on your personal preference, rum, orange liquor, kahlua, bailey OR wine are most welcomed to spike 'em up.

6. Let them simmer for about 1 minute and voila, MUST eat with vanilla flavour ice cream in order to retain its authenticity.


Feedback : Mine tasted like McD's apple pie filling but not up to patisserie's standard yet. So I guess it's not so screwed la and CONFIRM edible.

Close up. Eh don't lick your screen ok?

Chef's note : TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
UPDATE : Suzanne commented that the caramel apple looks like a pile of *something*. I'm hurt :(
