Since I made Fruit Salad Jelly (Vegetarian), I have been making all sort of Agar (OR Kanten) Jellies, often with fresh Fruit. And this Mango Jelly is my favourite so far. You can set this Mango Agar Jelly in serving glasses OR jelly moulds. Today I used 16cm round cake tin. You can use a …
Bananas turn spotty and black very quickly in hot summer. When I have very ripe Bananas, I usually bake Banana Cake but I don’t want to bake a cake on a hot day. Today I made this Yoghurt Ice Cream. I mashed the ripe Bananas and mixed with Yoghurt and whipped Cream. Even children can …
’Kanten’ is a Japanese gelling agent that is used for setting liquid to make gelatinous dessert. Similar to Agar Agar, ‘Kanten’ is made from sea plants and it contains almost no calories as it is 80% dietary fibre. You can make very low-calorie jelly by mixing ‘Kanten’ with Vegetable & Fruit Juice such as V8 …
I have made a variety of Ice Creams and shared many recipes on this website, and this one is the easiest recipe. Nothing can be easier than this. You only need Cream and Condensed Milk. I had some leftovers of both of them and needed to use them up. There was about 1/2 cup Condensed …
I had a large Mango in the fridge and I knew we needed to eat it soon. Then my husband bought two Mangos, and there were three. That’s enough to make this delicious dessert. It is not difficult to make, but it takes time. If you make it in the morning, it will be ready …
This Fruit Salad Jelly is usually made with Kanten and it is very popular in Japan. My mother used to set it in cups for individual serves. Today I used my old Tupperware Jelly Mould that I bought decades ago and I am still using. It was a good investment. Kanten is hard to find …
Strawberries are in season and I bought a few punnets the other day. As it’s been very hot in Melbourne lately, I wanted to make a cold dessert, and I made this Sorbet today.

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 …
My favourite Japanese summer dessert called ‘Mizu Yōkan’ is commonly made with smooth Azuki (Red Beans) Paste and Kanten. I often make it using Vegetarian Gelling Powder as Kanten is not easy to find. White Bean Paste and Chestnut Paste can be used instead of Azuki Paste. To make this Chestnut Agar Jelly, I use …
There is a popular summer dessert called ‘Mizu Yōkan’ in Japan. It’s a jelly, commonly made with smooth Azuki (Red Beans) Paste and Kanten. I started making it using Queen’s ‘Jel-It-In’ Vegetarian Gelling Powder because Kanten is not easy to find. Agar Agar Powder can be used. This is my recipe to make ‘Mizu Yōkan’ …
I made Black Forest Cake for my son’s birthday and there was some leftover whipped Cream. To use up leftover whipped Cream, I often make ‘Instant Chocolate Mousse’. This is another good way to use up leftover whipped Cream. Mix about same amount of whipped Cream and Greek Yoghurt, sweeten the mixture as you like, …
When I make Sago (Seed Tapioca) Pudding set in mould(s), I always add some Gelatine as well, so that the pudding won’t fail. If set in serving glasses, Gelatine is unnecessary as the pudding can be soft. That’s what I learned when I made ‘Pineapple Sago Pudding’. Today I made this tropical flavoured Coconut Milk …
