‘Butterfly Pea’ is a plant and its flowers look like Sweet Pea flowers but the colour is blue. Dried Butterfly Pea Flowers are often used to make a blue coloured tea. I was very curious and I purchase a bag of Dried Butterfly Pea Flowers. The tea was indeed very blue and I was impressed. …
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 …
I have a Bialetti Moka Express Pot that makes about 1/2 cup Espresso. It is my morning routine that I make Caffè Latte using the Moka Pot. I sometimes make this Caffè Latte Jelly in the morning. I place a little Water and Gelatine Powder in the glass first, then make Caffè Latte as always. …
This is not my invention. The person who first made this dessert probably did it by accident. This jelly naturally separates into two layers. I assume the acid in Orange Juice does the magic. Other sour fruit juices such as Apple juice OR Pineapple juice should work as well. You might be interested in experimenting …
I make Bavarois desserts always based on my ‘Basic Bavarois’ recipe. Add extra ingredients such as pureed Fruit, so that you can make a variety of Bavarois desserts. Today I used 1 can Peach Slices. I pureed the drained Peach Slices and added 1/2 cupful of it to Bavarois mixture, and used the remaining puree …
I used to go to an Asian grocery store to buy can of Lychees, but not any more. Here in Melbourne where I live, many supermarket stores including Coles and Woolworths are now selling them. Today I made this cold dessert, based on ‘Lorna’s Dark Plum Mousse’. Lorna is my husband’s grandfather Theo’s sister. Lorna …
My husband is currently trying to lose weight with a medical reason and his doctor recommended to try Nestlé’s ‘OPTIFAST’ products (shakes, soups, etc.) to reduce calorie intake by replacing meals with the products. I was curious about what they taste like and I tried vanilla flavoured shake today. It tasted much better than I …
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 …
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 …
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 …
My ‘Coffee Panna Cotta with Kahlúa’ has become popular. Then I decided to make Tea Flavoured Panna Cotta. I used the fragrant Earl Grey Tea which I love, and 1/2 Milk and 1/2 Cream for lighter texture. The fragrance of Earl Grey in the Panna Cotta is quite subtle. You need Earl Grey Tea Syrup …
Savoury Carrot Mousse is often served at restaurants, but I much prefer sweet Carrot Mousse. Many people use Carrot for baked sweets but not for cold sweets. Today I added Yoghurt and Whipped Cream to my ‘Carrot Jelly’ and made this Mousse. This Mousse is not very sweet and I added Orange Sauce, but Apricot …
