With a few simple ideas, an ordinary recipe magically transforms into a cute dish.   In today's recipe, I'll be showing you how I made a batch of Pompompurin cheese tarts made using store-bought tart cups.   Ingredients (Makes 9-10) 9-10 store bought tart cups 200g cream cheese (brought to room temperature) 20-30g sugar 1 egg yolk 50ml fresh cream 8g potato starch (katakuriko) Vanilla beans to taste (can be substituted for vanilla extract) 1 tbsp lemon juice  

Step 1

Pour the following ingredients into a bowl in this order: cream cheese→sugar→egg yolk→vanilla beans→fresh cream→potato starch. Mix well. Make sure when you put the potato starch in last that you sprinkle it thinly.   Step 2 Bake the tart cups in an oven at 180℃ for 15-20 minutes. If you don't have store-bought cups, you can use small cocotte dishes.   Step 3 [video width="480" height="640" mp4="https://www.moshimoshi-nippon.jp/wp/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/611192148.499144-2.mp4"][/video] Leave to cool. Now you can start drawing the face. For the hat I used sliced chocolate, for the ears sliced cheese, and for the facial features a chocolate pen. Once you've drawn the face, it's time to tuck in!   Kaori invites you into her world of character-themed food dishes in her recipe series.

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.

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. Leave to rest like this for about a day and your cake will be super moist and delicious. I didn't take any step-by-step photos this time around, but if you follow the instructions I promise you'll have a really tasty cake at the end.
