    Coconut Milk Agar Jelly

    The jellies made with Agar Agar powder (OR Japanese Kanten) have unique crispy texture. I usually make Milk Agar Jelly with regular Milk and Condensed Milk. The other day I used Coconut milk, and the result was fantastic. I am now writing down how I made it. You can add some Fruit to it. See …

    Coconut Milk Jelly

    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 …

    Coconut Muffins

    The other day I made ‘Basic Plain Muffins’ replacing Milk with Coconut Milk, and the result was pretty good, but a little bland as you can imagine. Today I added Diced Dried Apricot and Shredded Coconut as topping. I think Dried Pineapple would be good, too. These Muffins smell so good. Makes 12 Muffins Ingredients …

    Black Sesame & Coconut Milk Cake

    Black Sesame Seeds are not a popular cooking ingredient in Australia. People don’t use it for cooking. In Japan where I grew up, Black Sesame Seeds are used for many desserts. I believe the flavours of Black Sesame and Coconut are a good match. This cake doesn’t look very pretty but it smells amazing and …

    Crushed Pineapple & Coconut Muffins

    The other day, I wanted to use up a can of Crushed Pineapple and I googled for cake recipes. Some American recipes came up, and again I was shocked at the amount of Sugar they required. Some recipes required 2 cups Sugar on top of 1 can Crushed Pineapple which is sweet. I added just …
