KBB #10: Caramel Pots with Minted Shortbread Sticks





Tantangan ke-10 KBB di bulan Maret 2009 ini dengan tema dessert. Dari namanya sudah ketebak rasa enaknya karamel:p Gabungan antara cookies dengan puding karamel! Nyamm nyamm deh buat aku yang memang doyan maniss.. Cookies dibuat tidak terlalu manis (hasilnya malah ga manis sama sekali) dengan mengurangi gulanya agar pas jika dipadu dengan puding karamel yang pasti sudah manis. Ini dia resepnya.
