The other day I happened to see a recipe of Orange Jelly. I was very surprised to find the recipe required an unthinkable amount of Gelatine Powder. I became curious to compare other people’s Orange Jelly recipes. Some recipes require a lot of Sugar, and some recipes are complicated. To me, Jelly is simple to …
Guess what happens when you add Gelatine Powder to Hot Chocolate and make it into Jelly. I have tried it today and I was amazed. As the Hot Chocolate cooled down, the Chocolate Milk separated into layers. When it was set, there were two different coloured layers of Chocolate Milk Jelly, and another layer was …
‘Butterfly Pea’ is a plant and its flowers look like Sweet Pea flowers but the colour is blue. Dried Butterfly Pea Flowers are often used to make a blue coloured tea. I was very curious and I purchase a bag of Dried Butterfly Pea Flowers. The tea was indeed very blue and I was impressed. …
If you have some leftover Coconut Milk, it’s perfect for this dessert. You would need 200ml Coconut Milk, but you can add other Milk and make 200ml in total. Today I had 100ml Coconut Milk, so I added 100ml ordinary Milk. This dessert is super easy to make if you have microwave. Jelly can be …
I have a Bialetti Moka Express Pot that makes about 1/2 cup Espresso. It is my morning routine that I make Caffè Latte using the Moka Pot. I sometimes make this Caffè Latte Jelly in the morning. I place a little Water and Gelatine Powder in the glass first, then make Caffè Latte as always. …
This is not my invention. The person who first made this dessert probably did it by accident. This jelly naturally separates into two layers. I assume the acid in Orange Juice does the magic. Other sour fruit juices such as Apple juice OR Pineapple juice should work as well. You might be interested in experimenting …
I make Bavarois desserts always based on my ‘Basic Bavarois’ recipe. Add extra ingredients such as pureed Fruit, so that you can make a variety of Bavarois desserts. Today I used 1 can Peach Slices. I pureed the drained Peach Slices and added 1/2 cupful of it to Bavarois mixture, and used the remaining puree …
I used to go to an Asian grocery store to buy can of Lychees, but not any more. Here in Melbourne where I live, many supermarket stores including Coles and Woolworths are now selling them. Today I made this cold dessert, based on ‘Lorna’s Dark Plum Mousse’. Lorna is my husband’s grandfather Theo’s sister. Lorna …
My husband is currently trying to lose weight with a medical reason and his doctor recommended to try Nestlé’s ‘OPTIFAST’ products (shakes, soups, etc.) to reduce calorie intake by replacing meals with the products. I was curious about what they taste like and I tried vanilla flavoured shake today. It tasted much better than I …
Today I wanted to use a Mango that had been sitting in the fridge for several days. As I needed to use up leftover Cream as well, I decided to make this Panna Cotta based on my ‘Pumpkin Panna Cotta’ recipe. Basically I just replaced Pumpkin with Mango. I added Lemon Juice because the Mango …
I am a big fan of Chestnut desserts. ‘Mont Blanc Cake’ is very special to me, and ‘Chestnut Bavarois’ is one of my favourite desserts. Today I altered my ‘Chestnut Bavarois’ recipe and made this ‘Chestnut Mousse Cake’. I wanted to decorate it with Marron Glacé, but it was too hard to find. So, I …
Lorna is my husband’s grandfather Theo’s sister. Lorna left some great recipes for the next generation. This is one of them, and I have been wanting to try it. Today I finally made it, but again I had to halve the recipe because her recipe was for her large family. I added some Sugar because …
