How do you solve a problem like... Strawberry?


VB 弟提回一盒草莓.

VB 其實很喜歡草莓,但據說草莓含有某種會使痛風更加嚴重的成分,VB 爸警告不可以一次吃太多.

「可是爸,我沒有痛風啊?」

「沒有也可以預防啊!」

這樣說也是有道理,然同一波的草莓並不會分批成熟,而 VB 又極端不願暴殄天物,看著一大盒草莓,忍不住學著<真善美>(The Sound of Music)中修女們,無可奈何的哼起:

How do you solve a problem like Maria?

去年秋天爲了消耗喝不完的粉紅氣泡酒而作了草莓冷湯,冷得直打顫;往年四月底的此時夏裝蠢蠢欲動的想出籠,但今年的春天好像沒來過──煮個草莓醬取暖吧?

約一杯左右的新鮮草莓洗淨,每顆一分為四;加入一到兩大匙的萊姆汁與萊姆皮碎,五分之一杯糖,小火煮至草莓軟化即可.據說成品可以保鮮至一週.

溫熱的草莓醬於白瓷盤底舖成一灘熔漿,放上一枚仔細塗滿黑巧克力甘邑醬的白巧克力檸檬戚風蛋糕,紅黑白層層疊疊:


然而即使每天早上來這樣一枚,遑論每日應攝取的熱量遠遠高出計畫,草莓醬也無法在限定時間內吃完.適時眼光停留在不小心翻到的鮮藍莓乳酪蛋糕圖片上,久久不能移,好想吃乳酪蛋糕啊!

手邊的乳酪蛋糕食譜,份量都是適合八吋或九吋的圓形烤模;爲了能放入五吋烤模,VB 還進行一番縝密的計算.結果「人算不如天算」,費心調製出來的乳酪蛋糊,填滿一個底部可活動的五吋烤模,外加兩只小布丁甕與兩枚小酥芙蕾盅──人家「一種相思兩處閒愁」乃說不盡的浪漫;而這廂「一種食譜三樣點心」(以容器而分:酥芙蕾,布丁,乳酪蛋糕),勉強稱為「舉一反三」...

先作餅乾底:將 biscotti(一枚,大型的)與核桃(約六分之一杯)放入食物處理機,打成粗粉後,加入奶油(1.5 大匙左右,完全目測法),讓旋轉刀片再轉個幾回,粉與油結合成一團,取出.直接放在烤模底以手指壓平.

軟化奶油乳酪(八盎司),攪入檸檬皮碎屑(幾乎一個中型檸檬的份量),練乳(約三分之一罐),檸檬精(一小匙),蛋黃(三顆).

經過這番功夫,蛋白也差不多達到室溫,以最新購入的電動打蛋器打成某種程度的「發泡」(我想,介於軟性與硬性之間即可吧).取三分之一蛋白拌入前項乳酪糊,再把乳酪糊倒回發泡蛋白,以矽膠刮刀輕輕摺勻.

鋪了餅乾底的烤模中,倒入約一半的乳酪蛋糊,加入一層草莓醬,再以乳酪蛋糊填滿.烤模以鋁箔紙層層包裹後,置於預熱華式 275 度的對流烤箱中,以「水浴法」烤一小時.

此乃「似是而非」之草莓熔漿酥芙蕾布丁乳酪蛋糕(strawberry lava soufflé pudding cheesecake)的由來.

The solutions shown in the pictures look great!
By the way, news said strawberries also provide an effective sunblock (which solves the problem like wrinkles caused by UV):

Have a nice weekend--the strawberry cheesecake is certainly much more useful than a strawberry sunblock on a rainy weekend.

Hello ym,

Thanks for the tip! Even with all these high calorie "solutions", there's still leftover strawberry sauce/syrup approaching expiration... Maybe i could use it as a facial mask? (strawberry for uv protection, lemon juice for whitening, and sugar for... dead cell removal?? :p)

VB, I think you missed your calling. You could be the most wildly successful baker!

Hi Eunibomer,

Thanks for the encouraging words... However, even if I responded to the "calling" that you kindly allured to, I would always be a wannabe. For I lack the patience, the most important ingredient in baking, cooking, and everything else... These impromptu works are for entertainment only! :D
