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.   Today, I’ll be showing you how to make a Gudetama parfait made with a yogurt mousse and topped with orange and peach jelly.   Ingredients Yogurt Mousse Ingredients: 100g sugar free yogurt 50ml fresh cream 20g sugar 3g gelatin *With the gelatin, mix well with 1 tbsp water   Mikan & Yellow Peach Jelly Ingredients: 100ml mikan juice (or any orange juice) 150g tinned peaches (with syrup) 5g gelatin *With the gelatin, mix well with 1 tbsp water   1 ①Mix the sugar into the yogurt well. Add in 7/10 of the fresh cream and mix well again. ②Microwave the gelatin for 10-20 seconds at 500w. Add into the mixture from ① and mix well.   2 Once the mixture has set in about ⅓ of a glass, add sliced chocolate on the inside for the eyes and mouth. I cut mine into shape using a toothpick. Make sure the chocolate is properly fixed to the glass at this point.   3 Put your yellow peach and mikan orange into a blender (but not the gelatin part). The syrup of the peaches is already sweet so there’s no need to add sugar.   ②Microwave the gelatin for 10-20 seconds at 500w. Add into the blended mixture and mix well.   Pour on top of the mix inside the glass. If there are any peach pieces left, cut them up and use them as toppings. Top with fresh cream and chopped fruit, and you’re done! I stuck Gudetama’s face on well and good so it looks like his chocolate face is on the outside. Be sure to try doing the same.   Kaori invites you into her world of character-themed food dishes in her recipe series.

Each ingredient its mixed in sequence, so as long as you follow the recipe tips, you're sure to have your very own moist and tasty pound cake by the end of it.   Ingredients (Makes One 18cm Pound Cake) 100g butter (room temperature) 90g granulated sugar 2 large eggs (room temperature) 100g wheat flour 5g Uji matcha powder 4g baking powder Anko to taste   Making Keroppi's Face Eyes: Sliced White Chocolate Eyes & Mouth: Sliced Chocolate Cheeks: Strawberries Check out my video from this article for tips where I made Keroppi's face: https://www.moshimoshi-nippon.jp/ja/41842   1: Bring the butter to room temperature. Slowly add the granulated sugar to the butter while beating air into the mixture with a hand whisk until it turns a whitish colour and fluffy.   2: Beat an egg and bring to room temperature. Slowly pour into the mixture from Step 1 while mixing with the hand mixer. If you add it all or too much at once the egg will separate.   3: Sieve flour and mix and incorporate that, the matcha powder, and baking powder into the mixture.   4: Remove half of the mixture. Add the anko red bean paste into the remaining mixture, and then re-add the mixture you removed like a lid. Flatten the mixture's surface. Bake in the oven at 170° for approximately 40 minutes. If it starts burning at any point, cover with aluminium foil.   5: Once cooked, leave to cool a bit. Then wrap tightly while it is still warm.

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.   We're all locked up at home right now as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, and so I want to show you a fun character ice cream recipe that can be made with things you have at home! In this recipe, we'll learn how to make a Japanese parfait made in the image of the Little Green Men from Toy Story. This recipe is taken from the recipe book Disney Tsum Tsum Sweets Recipes.  

Ingredients

Matcha Ice Cream Chocolate Pens Fruit Toppings of your choice, such as red bean paste or soy flour  

1.

Draw the eyes, ears, and antennae of your little green men onto a baking sheet using a chocolate pen. Place into the freezer to chill.  

2.

Let the ice cream come to room temperature so it's easier to scoop, then scoop out with a round ice cream scoop.You can get an ice cream scoop from a dollar store. If you don't have one, place the softened ice cream into something round, and then let it harden again in the freezer. Afterwards, remove and place it into some cling film to shape it roundーthe same method you use for making onigiri rice balls in Japan. Then let it solidify in the freezer once more.  

3.

Before letting your ice cream from Step ② fully solidify, first place on the face parts from Step ①. If your ice cream is completely solidified and not soft enough, the parts will break when you try to fix them on, so make sure to take note. Once the parts are on, place into the freezer to harden. By doing this, the eyes, ears, and antennae will affix to the head.  

4.

In the recipe book, they top their parfait with rice flour dumplings, but I'm using the outer part of a large daifuku for my toppings. It's something I saw on the TV recently.Add a tablespoon of granulated sugar and two tablespoons of potato starch into a bowl and slowly add hot water until it becomes transparent. This is a super easy way to make gyuhi, a type of soft Japanese confectionery like mochi and daifuku.  

5.

Add the gyuhi on top of the red bean paste and top with soy flour.  

6.

Add your Little Green Man and fruit of your choice, then tuck int!   Kaori invites you into her world of character-themed food dishes in her recipe series. Be sure to check out her Instagram where she has uploaded many pictures of her character dishes!   ©Disney
