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. There are many different recipes for Strawberry Sorbet, but my recipe is very simple. Make a soft Strawberry Jelly adding some …
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 …
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 …
No-bake Cheesecake can be made without Gelatine and I have a recipe ‘Super Easy No-bake Cheesecake’. However, a small amount of Gelatine makes superior texture. Today I made the top layer with fresh Strawberries that are in season now. I used Arnott’s Choc Ripple Cookies fo the base, but you can use your favourite sweet …
This ice cream is almost identical to my ‘Super Easy Mixed Berries & Yoghurt Ice Cream’ but I mixed everything together to achieve this amazing colour. I used Frozen Blueberries. You don’t need Ice Cream machine OR any special tools. You only need a whisk to whip Cream and spatula to mix. It is absolutely …
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 …
I have shared some recipes for Matcha Jelly Desserts on this website, but this is certainly the easiest one. It is Vegan friendly as you use Corn Starch as a gelling agent. It is delicious as it is, but you may wish to enjoy it with whipped Cream, Matcha Syrup, Condensed Milk, Sweet Azuki Paste, …
‘Corn Starch Milk Jelly’ is very easy to make. You can add a flavour to the Milk, such as Coffee, Matcha, Cocoa, OR Fruit. If you want to add Fruit, there are some methods. Pureed Fruit, Fruit Sauce OR Fruit Jam can be mixed with the Milk. Today I made ‘Microwave Blueberry Sauce’, and used …
