I heard that ‘Scoop Cake’ has recently become quite popular in Japan. I believe it has been strongly influenced by the English dessert ‘Trifle’. However, ‘Scoop Cake’ in Japan is more like a shortcake in a bowl. It can be made with the clumsiest hands, because the sponge cake doesn’t have to be perfectly baked …
It is hot in Melbourne today as we are expecting near 40℃ heat. On such a hot day, cold dessert would be nice. Jelly is always a good option. If you stock Gelatine Powder in your pantry, Jelly is easy to make. The standard ratio of Gelatine Powder and Liquid is 2g : 100ml. I …

Is your friend visiting you for dinner? Are you thinking of a dessert? This dessert is super easy to make. It is basically a soft version of White Chocolate Ganache.

I am a big fan of Italian marvel ‘Affogato’. It is a treat of strong hot Espresso poured over cold Vanilla Ice Cream. This is my icy summer version of it. As I keep Espresso Granita in freezer, I can enjoy this treat anytime I want. Crunchy bitter Espresso Granita and melting sweet Ice Cream …
I live in Melbourne, Australia. Our Christmas is in summer. It can be very hot on the day. Summer Desserts are popular on Christmas day. Trifle is probably the most popular dessert. On Christmas day in 1993, it was a sparkling sunny day and I never forget, I tasted Trifle for the first time in …

Because my ‘Blueberry Yoghurt Jelly Dessert’ was so successful, I altered it to create another jelly dessert. I used Orange Juice instead of Milk and Cream, and added Yoghurt and Egg White.

I used to make Kanten jelly often, but Kanten is not easy to find. These days I often use Queen’s ‘Jel-It-In Vegetarian Gelling Powder that is Agar.

Make individual serves, and you can use Espresso for those who don’t enjoy Matcha flavour. This …
