With just a small bit of ingenuity, turn everyday food into something cute using Kaori’s recipe series! With a few simple ideas, an ordinary recipe magically transforms into a cute dish.   In this recipe you'll learn how to make a super easy Korilakkuma Coffee Jelly Parfait with Dororich, a coffee jelly that can be bought in Japan.   1: Ingredients Coffee Jelly (*the coffee jelly used in this recipe was bought at Daiso) Chocolate Pens Milk Ice Cream 2: First we will make Korilakkuma's facial features with the chocolate pens. Draw your favourite illustration of Korilakkuma onto parchment paper. Be sure to draw the base of the ears sharp so they can stick into the ice cream later on.   Fill in the lines of the ears and mouth with a white chocolate pen. Once they've fully solidified, draw on the eyes and details of the mouth in black and use pink to finish the ears. Place into the freezer to fully harden.   ☆If the features aren't fully solidified they will melt and break when you put them onto the ice cream. ☆The coffee jelly used in this recipe was prepared according to the instructions on the box. ☆The coffee jelly sold at Daiso can be made by simply dissolving in water. 3: ①Use a hot ice cream scoop to scoop out a ball of ice cream. Using a heated scoop ensures a rounder shape. It only melts the ice cream a tiny bit so it's fine to add the facial features. It's harder if you try adding them to hard ice cream as they will break apart easily.   ②Place your solidified coffee jelly into a glass and add extra ice cream for add layers. 4: Finally, top with your Korilakkuma you made in step 3. If you a little bit of milk and mix you'll get a delicious combination of ice cream and coffee jelly♡   Kaori invites you into her world of character-themed food dishes in her recipe series.

This time you'll learn a simple recipe to make a gorgeous Korilakkuma apple cake that even novice cooks can follow!

 

1: Ingredients

15cm cake tin (you can also use a loaf tin or smaller tin to cook individual ones)

100g weak flour

5g baking powder

60g unsalted butter

80g sugar

2 eggs (small or medium)

1 apple

10 walnuts

Cinnamon sugar (to taste)

 

 

Preparation

・Thinly slice the apples and squeeze over lemon juice. Cut 2-3 to the slices into a Korilakkuma shape.

・Roughly chop up the walnuts.

・If you don't have cinnamon sugar, mix together one tsp of cinnamon with 1/4 cup of sugar.

・Combine the weak flour and baking powder and sieve.

Melt the butter over a bain-marie.

 

2: Separate the egg yolks and whites. Thoroughly whisk the egg whites. Combine with the egg yolks, add the flour and mix.

 

3: Stir the mix in step 2 well. Add the melted butter in the places where it looks like there's some flour left and mix.

Add the mix to your cake tin and add your sliced apples that you prepared (but not the Rilakkuma shaped pieces).

 

 

4: Place the walnuts all over the mix.

 

5: Sprinkle over cinnamon sugar.

Cook in a preheated oven at 170℃ for 20-25 minutes, then add the Korilakkuma apple slices and cook for a further 5-10 minutes.

 

6: If you cut a good shape of Korilakkuma out with your apple then leave it as it is. If the shape didn't turn out well, cut out a white chocolate Korilakkuma and place it over the apple.

 

7: Draw the facial features with a chocolate pen.

Once the apple cake is done, decorate all of your Rilakkuma, and you're done.

 

The moist cake goes together perfectly with the apple, walnuts and cinnamon sugar! It's delicious eaten fresh, but its level of moistness increases if you eat it the next day.

For this recipe, you'll learn how make mini Pompompurin pumpkin tarts! This is a simple recipe you can make with just a blender.

 

1: Ingredients

12 Tart shells

150g Pumpkin (deseeded, skin taken off and made soft)

50ml Fresh cream (In this recipe I used soy milk)

20-30g Sugar (Depending on the sweetness of the pumpkin)

1 Egg yolk (small egg)

Sliced Chocolate

Tinned yellow peach

 

 

2: Steam and make the pumpkin soft in the microwave. Place the softened pumpkin, sugar, fresh cream (or soy milk) and egg yolk into a blender.

 

3: Blitz until it's mixed like in the photo above.

 

 

4: Pour the mixture from Step 3 into the tart shells and place into a 180℃ preheated oven. Lower the temperature to 140-150℃ and cook for 10-15 minutes. (You don't want to brown anything, so we cook it on a low heat.)

 

If it looks like it's about to start browning, cover with aluminium foil as this will prevent it from burning.

 

 

5: Once your cooked tarts have fully cooled down, use a round cutter to make a hat out of chocolate and a tear-drop cutter to make ears out of the yellow peach. The round ball on top of the hat can be made by breaking off some sliced chocolate and rolling it with your fingers.

 

Finally, drawn on the eyes, nose and mouth with a warmed chocolate pen!

 

The crunchy tart shells and moist pumpkin paste go pair together wonderfully! And the sourness from the yellow peach is perfect, making is really tasty♡
