This is a variation of my ‘Custard Jelly with Caramel Sauce’. Reduce the amount of Milk for slightly firmer texture, and jelly is set in ramekin OR mug with flat base. Instead of making Caramel Sauce, I made Caramel first. If you have microwave, it is easy to do. Then I poured the jelly mixture …
This is a variation of my ‘Basic Custard’. Because Lemon Juice is added to it, more Sugar and Flour are necessary. I tend to add Butter to this Custard because I believe Butter improve the lemon flavour, but Butter is optional. It can be used for a variety of desserts. Ingredients 1 cup (250ml) Milk3 …

In my kitchen, the easiest way to make a Sponge Cake is Rice Cooker, that has ‘Cake’ setting. I added Matcha Powder to my ‘Rice Cooker Sponge Cake’ mixture, poured it in the rice cooker’s inner pot, and pressed the switch to start cooking.

To make Basic Custard, I use 2 to 3 Egg Yolks for 1 cup Milk, and that makes lovely yellow custard. However, that means I will have 2 to 3 Egg Whites to use up later. That’s bothersome sometimes. Here is a recipe for Whole Egg Custard. The colour of the custard is not very …
Matcha flavoured Milk Jelly can be tricky to make, because Matcha Powder tends to settle at the bottom. You need to cool the jelly mixture first, then stir well before placing it in the fridge. If you don’t do anything and let the Matcha Powder settle as it does, the result looks like this. When …
‘Lassi’ is a smoothie-like drink. I make it with Milk, Unsweetened Yoghurt and Ice Cubes. Using my Bamix, it is quick and easy to make. I often add Fruit such as Blueberries OR Mango. Today I added Banana and Dates. If you blender is strong enough to crush Ice Cubes, it certainly crush pitted Dates. …
If you want to make two layers of Milk and Matcha, you need to make Milk heavier than Matcha. If Matcha is heavier, no matter how gently you pour the Matcha, it will go down and get mixed with Milk, that’s what I believe. I make Milk heavier by adding Syrup to it. You can …
Yesterday my daughter gave me a loaf of Raisin Bread, which was already quite stale. It was actually perfect for ‘Bread Pudding’, but I was too tired to make it. And as always, once I started thinking about ‘Bread Pudding’, the craving kicked in and I couldn’t stop it. The easiest solution is Mug Pudding. …
‘Creme Caramel’ is not the easiest dessert to make. BUT, if for 1 serving, ‘Microwave Creme Caramel’ can be made quickly and easily. Today I replaced a half of Milk with Mascarpone, because I wanted to use up a small amount of leftover Mascarpone. I believe you can use Sour Cream OR Double Cream instead. …
In Japan, there is a popular summer treat called ‘Ujikintoki’ (宇治金時), which is basically Shaved Ice covered with Matcha Syrup, served with Sweet Azuki Paste.
