Nian Gao Thermomix Recipes

At times, every started to homemade Nian Gao.

Niangao direct translated as year cake or Chinese New Year's cake, is a dessert prepared from glutinous rice. While it can be eaten all year round, traditionally it is most popular during Chinese New Year - Nian Gao is rhyme with A year taller or a year better, brings good fortune to someone. 

The above photo is a week-old Nian Gao, the longer you keep, the darker it will become, hence do not have to be curious of your NianGao presents to be pale in colour on the first few days. 

This NianGao was made in year 2015, it was using TM31. After a month that it has becoming harden in the outer layer, I kept it in freezer. Best is slice it before keeping, easier to proportion the amount whenever you need it.

Thermomix Recipe

Jane's Nian Gao

Ingredients

500g Glutinous Flour
500g Water
350g Brown Candy 片糖 (you may replace with Molasses Sugar or just brown sugar)
50g Brown Sugar, or Gula Melaka (has better taste)

Steaming
1500g Water

Preparation

1) Place brown candy and gula Melaka to mill
    mc / 2 sec / Turbo   x 2 times

2) Add 500g water to boil

    Set aside to let it completely cool

3) As soon as the syrup temperature drops to room temperature, add glutinous rice flour and oil to mix well
    mc / 1 min / speed 4

4) Pour mixture into a tin that wrapped with banana leaves. Allow the banana leaves to bend outward and secure with a string, as glutinous rice will pull inward and shrink as it gets dryer and harder, this will wringle the outer rim.
 
5) In a clean TM bowl, add 1500g water, stack Varoma Dish in position with glutinous mixture tin to steam.
    60 min / Varoma / speed 1

7） The colour of Nian Gao will only turns into darker tone after a few days

8) By then you may trim away extra banana leaves. Remove Nian Gao from the tin and keep in a dry place.

1/2 cup (60g) coarsely chopped pecan nut

Chocolate cake glaze

200g plain chocolate, chopped.

3 tbsp water

2 tbsp single cream

7g unsalted butter. Chilled.

 Method: 

Chocolate Mixture: TO make chocolate mixture melt chocolate and extra butter in a bowl over a pan of hot water, stirring constantly, then cool.  Use an electric mixer to beat extra eggs until thick and creamy, gradually beating in extra sugar while doing so. Sift in the extra flour, baking powder and salt then blend in the cooled chocolate mixture. Stir through the pecans. Measure 1 cup chocolate mixture and set aside. 

 Cream cheese batter: PREHEAT the oven to 160C and grease and base line a shallow 23cm square cake pan. Cream together the butter and PHILLY Block Cream Cheese with machine mixer.  Beat in sugar until mixture is light and fluffy, then add egg and beat thoroughly.  Stir in flour and vanilla essence and set aside.

SPREAD chocolate mixture in prepared pan. Top with reserved PHILLY mixture then drop spoonfuls of reserved chocolate batter on top.  Swirl a knife lightly through batter to make a marbled pattern.

BAKE in preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Remove from oven and leave to cool in pan.

Chocolate cake glaze

Place chocolate, water, butter and cream in a small heat proof bowl over a boiling water, and stir until smooth remove from heat. 

Glaze the marbled cheesecake brownies when cool. Best is keep cheesecake in fridge before glazing. 

These have a marvelous fudgy texture; cheesecake with a crispy top, marbled with chocolate and studded with pecans. The mixture is baked in a square then cooled and cut into individual squares.  They are great for picnics, as a sweet finish to a barbecue or just with a glass of ice-cold milk at home. They’ll go quickly at kids’ birthday parties too.
