The CookingBites Recipe Challenge: Milk & Cream

Yorky said:
On the way to immigration in Khorat one time, we stopped off at a roadside coffee shop and I ordered white coffee. It came with "Carnation Milk" and sugar. I took one mouthful and left the rest. However, 10 kilometres further on I had to stop the car to vomit down the embankment. Not a pleasant experience.

You won't be making this bread then! You can't taste the evaporated milk as such in the bread, though.

I'm not sure if this is eligible - but evaporated milk is a type of milk. If not, never mind...

I'll be offering another version I found last week when we were making our grocery list, Amish milk bread, it uses regular milk and brown sugar. I will be using it for an open faced sandwich that will also have milk/cream as a featured ingredient.
 
Here's a very simple Milk/Cream recipe ...

Creamed Pearl Onions:

I got the idea for this from watching an old Errol Flynn movie - "They Died With Their Boots On." In that movie, Errol Flynn's character, George Armstrong Custer, was portrayed as liking Onions and shared Creamed Bermuda Onions with a general just after he departed West Point.

For this challenge I wanted to do something with homemade ricotta, but I don’t think I can do it, I'm at home only on Sunday morning and I cannot do anything.
So I opted for the Bavarian cream that I prepared last night.

A strawberry Bavarian Cream, very classic (even if the original is with eggs)

and the other one a vegan Bavarian cream with celery flavor. It was some time that I wanted to do it.

I started my molecular gastronomy project, encapsulated pina colada over a bed of coconut milk snow, pineapple tidbits, and maraschino cherry foam.

I also have enough leftover sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, and evap milk to make a quatro leche cake with amaretto in the pouring syrup.

Also going to try my Amish milk bread recipe again with a little more yeast and use a different pan, a metal one, as I recently bought a new ceramic loaf pan and, after thinking about it, I don't think I had ever made a yeast dough loaf in it, just meatloaf and a banana quick bread.

Steamed Banana Cake (Bánh Chuối Hấp)

I saw Andrew Zimmern have something like this when he visited Vietnam. This is a beloved Vietnamese dessert consisting mostly of bananas and topped with a coconut milk sauce. It’s not hard to make, but by far the biggest challenge was figuring out how to steam a cake without proper equipment. When I post the recipe, you’ll see how I did it.
