Marshmallow mousse

[Only 3 Ingredients] How to Make Fluffy Marshmallow Mousse [Easy Snack]

Let’s try making a marshmallow mousse that’s smooth on the palate, subtly sweet, and delicious.

Just put fluffy marshmallows in a saucepan, heat and stir, add milk, then transfer to containers and chill in the refrigerator until set—an elegant dessert is ready.

With only these few ingredients, it’s fun and easy for everyone from small children to older adults.

The sweet aroma spreads as you make it, making it perfect for recreational activities in care facilities, too.

If you shape the leftover unmelted marshmallows into little snowmen and place them on the mousse, you can achieve a café-style presentation.

Shiratama parfait

Perfect for Respect-for-the-Aged Day snacks♪ Making an irresistible shiratama parfait!!!

We’ve gradually been able to resume cooking activities that were hard to do during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In cooking sessions, thinking through the steps, using your hands, and of course eating the finished dish all provide excellent stimulation for the brain.

Here, we’ll make a shiratama parfait—a sweet collaboration of Japanese and Western styles.

We use tofu instead of water for the shiratama dough, which boosts the nutritional value.

Kneading the soft shiratama dough is soothing, isn’t it? Once they’re boiled, let’s enjoy topping them with sweet red beans, fruit, and whipped cream.

Shiratama sweets are popular with people of all ages, from children to adults.

Here’s a very simple shiratama treat: soy milk shiratama with kinako and kuromitsu.

As the title suggests, you only need four ingredients: soy milk, shiratama flour, kinako, and kuromitsu.

Mix the shiratama flour with the soy milk, pinch off bite-size pieces, and drop them into boiling water to form dumplings.

Let them cool slightly, plate them, then drizzle with kuromitsu and sprinkle with kinako to finish.

You can use store-bought kuromitsu and add as much as you like.

It’s a highly recommended snack known for its delightfully chewy texture.

transparent cake

[Only 2 Ingredients] Just mix and chill! How to make a transparent cake! / [syun cooking]

Here’s an eye-catching idea for a transparent cake.

As the name suggests, this cake lets you see right through the inside.

The “sponge” is actually made with gelatin, so you can easily make it by simply mixing and chilling.

It looks beautiful topped with fruit, and you can also embed fruit inside.

There are many ways to decorate it, so try coming up with your own original design.

Note that gelatin takes time to set in the fridge, so keep that in mind.
