Pear Tarte Tatin

Not apples but pears make it easy! How to Make Pear Tarte Tatin [How to Make Pear Tart Tatin]

This is a recipe for a tarte Tatin you can make using only a frying pan, packed with pears.

For the tart base, finely crush biscuits and mix thoroughly with melted butter and milk until it comes together.

Press it flat onto a plate the same size as your frying pan and chill it in the refrigerator.

In the frying pan, dissolve sugar with a little water to make a caramel sauce.

Once it thickens, add butter, then add the cut pears and some sugar, cover with a lid, and simmer for about 1 hour.

Remove the lid and simmer a bit longer until slightly thickened, place the tart base on top, let it sit for a while, then flip it over to finish the tarte Tatin.

It tastes best well chilled.

Chewy and delicious at home! Ice Cream Daifuku | How to Make Ice Cream Daifuku

Here’s an idea for mochi ice cream that’s fun for its chewy texture.

Start with shiratamako (glutinous rice flour) as the base to make the mochi wrapper.

One of the charms is that there are plenty of hands-on steps like kneading and rolling, so you can enjoy the feel of the dough.

Once the dough is ready, place ice cream in the center, wrap it up, and you’re done.

Classic vanilla works well, but chocolate or matcha ice cream are delicious options too.

Also, if you choose flavors while thinking about how they pair with other foods and drinks, you can give your menu a cohesive feel.
