The Clearance Sales Section - The Treasure Trove of Opportunities (Part 2)
This is the
continuation of last week’s story. If you haven’t read it, read it NOW!
So, how can
we use the found treasure? Build a castle? Buy a ship? How about we make a
chocolate mousse tart? Together with a Cadbury baking chocolate bar found at
the clearance sales section (at a 50% discount, yay!), I decided to assemble
all the other ingredients to make a delicious, decadent chocolate mousse tart.
After calculating the total cost, I was astounded by how much I was able to
save by finding just that one treasure. I was able to make two tarts which were
worth a total of RM40, but of which I only paid RM27!
I’m not
going to put a detailed recipe here, since this isn’t a recipe-type blog. But
if you really want to know, here’s the recipe I used, based on several
references:
Ingredients:
200g
digestive biscuits
100g butter
(melted)
200g baking
chocolate (melted)
200mL
whipping cream
- Crush the
digestive biscuits till they are fine (you can use a food processor).
- Add the
melted butter and mix till it is evenly spread throughout the mixture.
- Shape the
biscuit mixture into a tart mold, and place in the fridge.
- Prepare
the filling by whisking the whipping cream until it reaches a soft peak.
- Then, add
the whipped cream to the chocolate (and not the other way around) part-by-part,
folding with a spatula as you do so.
- Take the
tart shell out of the fridge, pour the filling into the shell, and chill in the
fridge till it is set.
- Serve
cold.

Ps. Check
the clearance section for new goodies every time you pass the supermarket. Even
if you don’t have groceries to buy that day, just walk in a take a look. Who
knows, that may be your lucky day. Happy treasure hunting!
