    Yoghurt Jelly Cake

    This cake is basically Yoghurt & Milk Jelly. I set it in a cake tin on the Sweet Biscuit Base just like Cheesecake. I didn’t use Cream because I wanted to make this cake very light and low in calories. I recommend to enjoy it with fresh fruit or not-so-sweet berry sauce. Today I enjoyed …

    Jasmine Tea & Lychee Jelly

    It is my daughter who introduced me the delicious drink ‘Lychee Tea’. Today I made it into a jelly dessert. ‘Lychee Tea’ is a sweet drink, but I added extra Sugar for this dessert. This jelly looks slightly milky. The milkiness in tea-based jelly tends to happen due to the reaction between Tea’s tannins and …

    Vegetarian Matcha Jelly

    To make Vegetarian jelly desserts, ‘Agar Agar’ OR ‘Kanten’ are commonly used. However, Agar Agar and Kanten are not widely available where I live. I use Queen’s ‘Jel-It-In’ Vegetarian Gelling Powder and I am a big fan of the product. It doesn’t have unpleasant smell like Gelatine and it is so easy to use. This …

    Matcha Warabi Mochi

    ‘Warabi Mochi’ is made with ‘Warabi’ (Bracken) starch flour and it is similar to ‘Kuzu Mochi’ which is made with ‘Kuzu’ starch flour. Those rare starch flours are not available for many of us, even in Japan. People make these sweets using some substitutes such as Potato Starch, that is widely available. Today I added …

    Apple & Cream Cheese Dessert with Cinnamon Crumble

    Since my daughter moved out and started living independently, our family’s consumption of Fruit dropped. I found some Apples turning wrinkly and spongy again. I stewed them, but no one was eating the stewed Apple. Today I made them into this dessert using Cream Cheese that was also getting old and I needed to use. …

    Marie Biscuits Log Cake

    ‘Choc Ripple Log Cake’ made with Arnott’s Choc Ripple Biscuits is an Australian favourite cake that even children can make themselves if they can whip cream. Today I made a similar Log Cake using leftover Marie Biscuits. Because Marie Biscuits are plain flavoured, I used Cocoa flavoured Cream. Please note that you need to dip …

I haven’t shared this very basic one. So, here it is. By replacing some of the Milk in this recipe with Fruit Juice, whipped Cream OR whipped Egg White, and …

    Mochi Ice Cream

    The other day I was asked if one of my sweet Mochi recipes can be used to make Mochi Ice Cream. Soft Sweet Mochi that is called ‘Gyūhi’ (求肥) in Japanese stays soft when cold, but I didn’t know if it stays soft when frozen. It became another project for me to work on. I …

    Japanese Style Sundae

    There many variations of Japanese Style Sundae, but the key elements are Ice Cream, Tsubu-an (Sweet Azuki Paste), Matcha and Dango Dumplings. Today I used Vanilla Ice Cream, but Matcha Ice Cream would be nice. I have come across Sundaes with no Dango Dumplings, and I found it very disappointing. I encourage you to make …
