Kaori’s Easy Recipe: Learn to Make Mickey Mouse Ice Box Cookies

25.August.2019 | FEATURES / FOOD

With just a small bit of ingenuity, turn everyday food into something cute using Kaori’s easy recipe! With a few simple ideas, an ordinary recipe magically transforms into a cute dish.

For this edition of Kaori’s Easy Recipe, I used a recipe from the Disney dessert cookbook Oishii Disney Sweets Recipes to make cute Mickey Mouse-shaped ice box cookies. Ice box cookies are made by forming the dough into a cylindrical shape, leaving it to set in the fridge, and cutting into slices. This means you can make cookies even if you don’t have a specific cookie cutter, for example one in the shape of Mickey. You can create lots of different kinds of cookies using this method. They’re light, crunchy and best of all, delicious.

 

1. Ingredients (Makes: Approx. 30)

100g unsalted butter

80g powdered sugar

180g sieved weak flour

20g egg yolk (1 medium size egg)

A pinch of salt

10g pure cocoa

 

2. Bring the unsalted butter to room temperature until it’s soft. Break into small pieces until it turns creamy then add the powdered sugar and salt. Mix well until everything is blended together.

3. Add the egg yolk into the mixture and mix well with a whisk.

4. Slowly add the sieved flour. Add about a quarter at a time and mix well before adding the rest to avoid clumps. After all the flour is mixed in, divide in half and mix one of the halves with cocoa powder.

5. Shape both halves into a rectangular shape at 12cm x 6cm. Wrap in cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

6. Divide each half like in the picture below.

7. Put ⅞ of the plain dough to one side, and roll the rest of the plain dough and all of the cocoa dough into 15cm rods.

8. Roll the ⅞ of plain dough you put to one side into a 17cm x 15cm square. Referencing the pictures above and below, place plain “C” dough in the middle between the cocoa “B” dough. Ensure there are no gaps when pushing them together.

9. Place the cocoa “A” dough on top of the “C” dough. Take both sides of your rolled out square dough and bring together ensuring there are no gaps. Wrap in cling film and leave in the fridge for 20 minutes.

10. Take out of the fridge and cut about 5mm off the ends. Make sure to handle with care – if handled too roughly the dough will collapse.

11. Slice into single cookies and bake at 160℃ for 20-25 minutes.

Your cookies are done!

  • Kaori’s Easy Recipe: Learn to Make Hello Kitty No-Bake Cheesecake

    14.April.2019 | FEATURES / FOOD

    With just a small bit of ingenuity, turn everyday food into something cute using Kaori’s easy recipe! With a few simple ideas, an ordinary recipe magically transforms into a cute dish.   In this recipe you'll learn how to make a no-bake cheesecake by simply combining and mixing! This easy recipe can be followed by anyone and can be easily changed into a character cake of your choosing. Chocolate plates are hard to make but if you follow these steps you'll be able to make your own in no time!     Ingredients 200g cream cheese 200g fresh cream 70g sugar 1 tbsp lemon juice 10g gelatin 20 crackers (I used Ritz crackers) 50g unsalted butter   Preparation ・Add 5 tbsp water into the gelatin. Head it in the microwave for 40 seconds before combining with the cream cheese. ・Melt the unsalted butter in the microwave ・Let the cream cheese come to room temperature and then wrap the bowl in cling film before leaving to soften in the microwave.   1. ①Blitz 10 crackers in a food processor and then pour in your melted unsalted butter. Add the other 10 crackers and blitz again. Add the mix into a cake tin. Wrap a potato masher in cling film like the photo below and press the mix. *By pressing multiple times with force at this stage it will prevent the biscuit from breaking later when the cake is cooked. 2. ①Blitz the cream cheese and sugar in the food processor to combine. ②Transfer the combined cream cheese and sugar into a bowl and add the lemon juice, fresh cream and the microwaved gelatin. ③Once fully mixed pour it on top of your cracker in the cake tin. Put into the refrigerator to fully cool and solidify. Your no-bake cheesecake is done! Next we need to draw Hello Kitty's face. I made a video so check that out below too.   1: Get a picture of Hello Kitty (or character of your choice) and affix see-through baking paper on top with sellotape.   2: Trace the lines of the picture with a chocolate pen that has been warmed. *The fatter your lines the less likely it is to break when you put it on the cake.   3: Once you've finished drawing, place it into the refrigerator to harden. Once both the cheesecake and chocolate have cooled you can begin decorating.   4: Place the hardened chocolate on top of the cheesecake. *Don't worry if your chocolate breaks a little when putting it on top. You can join the broken lines back up once you've placed it on so nobody will know.   5: Once the framework is on add the eyes and nose making sure to check the sizes and balance. Finally, fill in the ribbon and clothing with either strawberry sauce or strawberry jam that has been mixed with a bit of water.   [video width="160" height="284" mp4="https://www.moshimoshi-nippon.jp/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/tmp_v4738118987716036116-1.mp4"][/video] And you're done!
