芝麻白巧慕斯White Sesame Chocolate Mousse

因為上次做芝麻棉花蛋糕剩了一些白芝麻，我就想說要來利用一下。這個慕絲是以很有名的北海道限定芝麻巧克力為發想，是用不太甜的白巧克力包覆著芝麻粒，吃起來就像芝麻牛奶一樣香濃！
海綿蛋糕是用 HOWTOCOOKTHAT's Perfect Sponge Cake Recipe的食譜，原本的食譜真的超棒!!蛋糕蓬鬆濕潤，做法超簡單(不用洗打蛋器)， 唯一的缺點是材料多而繁瑣，所以我把一些添加物刪除了像是吉利丁泡打粉，成品差別不大，還是很讚～
我把慕絲糖量減到最低了（為了凸顯芝麻的香氣），如果喜歡可以加多一點糖～
裝飾的部分我是用芝麻焦糖蕾絲餅，建議適時用前再放上去不然餅乾會軟掉！

Since there was plenty of white sesame seeds left after making my Black & White Sesame Cake, I want to create a special dessert featuring white sesame seeds. I was inspired by a famous Hokkaido candy, black and white sesame seeds covered with semi-sweet white chocolate, it tastes like sesame milk!
The sponge cake recipe was adapted from HOWTOCOOKTHAT's Perfect Sponge Cake Recipe. The original recipe was GREAT: the method was simple (use only one whisk), the cake was moist and fluffy but sturdy enough to serve as mousse base. But there were too many ingredients. I leave out some additives such as baking powder and gelatin and the cake turned out perfect for me.
I cut the sweetness of the white chocolate mousse to the lowest in order to contrast the aroma of baked sesame seeds. Feel free to add more sugar.
For the decoration, I use my Sesame Caramel Tuiles. They were a perfect combination! But I recommend you put the tuile on at the last moment or the cookies will become soggy.

棒棒糕Cake Pops

這些超可愛的棒棒糕（這個怪名字是我自己翻譯的XD國外很流行可是台灣好像沒看到人在賣
～）漂亮到讓人捨不得吃！可是真的很美味～我妹一直問我可不可以再吃一個，我叫她吃醜一點的結果發現根本沒有醜的啊！每個都很優雅說～他們很適合當聖誕節禮物呢！
我用我的一鍋到底巧克力蛋糕當基底，因為：1.很美味（就像我分享的其他食譜一樣！）2.製作快速又簡單，畢竟後面還要塑形、裝飾等等所以蛋糕越簡單越好不是嗎 3. 蛋糕很濕潤，這樣我不用加很多乳酪霜。說到乳酪霜，添加的量可能有些許不同所以別一次全加不然你就會有一團黏糊糊的好吃泥巴XD
These lovely cake pops look too gorgeous to eat but they’re indeed so tasty that my sister kept asked me if she could have more, “ Just pick the bad looking one.” I said. Then I realized it’s a hard  choice cause each pop was elegant. They are the perfect Christmas gift that’s suitable for all ages.
I use my one-pot chocolate cake recipe to make the cake for three reasons. First, the cake is delicious, as well as all the other recipes in my blog. Second, it’s quick to make. Since making the cake pops involves rolling, dipping, decorating and all that stuff, it’s very time-consuming, so I just want to keep the cake-making process as simple as possible. Last but not least, the cake is very moist so I don’t need to add lots of frosting. Speaking of the frosting, the amount may vary so don’t add them all in at the beginning or you could end up with a bowl of gooey mud. They’ll still be delicious, just in another way XD. You can use store bought frosting if you don’t wanna make them. But I consider the ingredient, by the way, homemade cream cheese frosting takes no time to make at all.

份量：50顆（比乒乓球小一點點）
made 50 cake pop( slightly smaller than the size of table tennis ball)

 材料ingredients:
A. 巧克力蛋糕    兩份（約1300g)
B.牛奶    60g
C.奶油乳酪（室溫軟化）   200g
D. 萊姆酒（可不加）  1大匙
E.黑、白、草莓巧克力   適量
F. 各式巧克力米  M&M's 杏仁角
G. 棒棒糖棍   50根

two beaches of chocolate cake (about 1300g)
60g milk
200g soften cream cheese
1 Tbs Rum(optional)
Dark, white and strawberry chocolate
sprinkles, M&M’s
crushed almonds
50 pop sticks

作法Steps：
1. 做乳酪霜：將Ｂ、Ｃ、Ｄ拌勻直到滑順備用
2.在大碗中將Ａ捏碎，像細沙的質地（如圖）．然後把2/3的乳酪霜拌入，是情況加入更多乳酪霜，可以捏少許蛋糕試試看能不能揉成球
3.挖一匙蛋糕糰（約30g)然後搓成球，放在烤盤紙上，用保鮮膜覆蓋冷藏2小時以上或冷凍（不要超過一小時不然會變超硬）
4.將Ｅ用微波爐或隔水加熱融化（如果是調溫巧克力要調溫喔），將Ｇ沾一點巧克力（約1cm)然後插入冰過的蛋糕球
5.將蛋糕球沾滿巧克力，讓多餘的巧克力滴落，可以用旋轉或抖動的方式
6.在巧克力乾前灑上裝飾用的杏仁角、巧克力米
7.將完成的棒棒高差在保麗龍塊上晾乾（我白巧克力的有沾兩次讓顏色更白）
8.如果要送人可以用透明小袋子套住綁上緞帶

1. Prepare the cream cheese frosting: Combine the cream cheese with milk and Rum. Mix well until creamy, set aside. You can use store bought frosting if you don’t wanna make them by your own.
2. Break the chocolate cake into fine crumbs in a large bowl. Add 2/3 of the cream cheese frosting to start and mix well to combine. Add more until it reaches the right consistency, the amount depends on the moistness of the cake. You can roll some mixture as a sample to test.
3. Take teaspoons of the mixture ( about 30g ) and roll into balls that are slightly smaller than those of the table tennis ball. Lay the balls on a baking sheet, cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours to chill or put them in the freezer for no more than 1 hour( if the cake becomes too hard, it’ll be difficult to insert the sticks).
4. Melt few pieces of chocolate in the microwave or double boiler( if you’re using real chocolate then you need to temper it, I’m using compound chocolate today. ). Dip about 1cm of the pop stick into the chocolate and insert into the cake balls about half-way.
5. Dip cake balls into the chocolate until covered. Let the excess chocolate drip off. Swirl and tap gently if needed.
6. Add the sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet. It will harden quickly.
7. Stick the decorated cake pop into a styrofoam block to finish setting. You can place them into the  fridge to speed up setting time. I double coated the white chocolate ones to made them brighter.
8. Cover with a clear treat bag & ribbon for gift giving, if desired.

一鍋到底巧克力蛋糕One-pot Chocolate Cake

每個人一定都遇到過有重要客人即將來訪可是卻家裡沒東西招待的窘境！那就是我做這個蛋糕的情境XD
這個蛋糕不需要任何機器（如果烤箱不算的話哈哈），如果直接在烤模中攪拌的話甚至連碗都不用，我就是這樣，這樣收拾起來快多了！做蛋糕通常要洗很多鍋碗瓢盆和工具，那是我唯一不喜歡的部份。
雖然材料很簡單，但是這個蛋糕很濃郁，裡面濕潤又鬆軟，碎香蕉丁味蛋糕增添了些口感。它其實單吃就很美味，但是如果你想讓蛋糕升級就不能少了巧克力淋醬～因為淋醬不僅讓蛋糕表面閃耀光澤，也讓蛋糕更加濕潤。我在裡面了櫻桃白蘭地，有點黑森林蛋糕的影子～
牛奶要溫熱才能帶出可可粉全部的香氣，然後記得可可粉要篩過，他超容易結塊的。
這個食譜也能改成純素的版本～只要將奶油改成味道清淡的植物油（葡萄籽油、葵花子油......不要用橄欖油或花生油，味道會蓋過蛋糕），牛奶用豆漿或杏仁奶帶替即可。

Everyone has times when some special guests are coming but you're running out of treats to serve with coffee. That’s when I made the cake. Cause it's simple but good enough to surprise my visitor.
The recipe requires no machine, except the oven. You don't even need a bowl if you stir everything in the cake tin as I did, that makes the cleaning process much faster! Normally, you need to wash many bowls and utensils after the cake is in the oven. That's the only, if any, part of the baking process I don't enjoy.
Though the ingredients are simple, the cake has wonderful deep flavor, fudgy and tender interior, finally the chopped banana gives it some chewiness. It is sooo amazing that you can eat the cake by it own.But If you wanna take it to another level, frost the cake with some simple chocolate ganache! The glaze gives a lovely shine and extra moisture to the cake. I also put some cherry brandy in the ganache inspired by the Black Forest cake.
The milk needs to be warm because beat can bring out the flavor in the cocoa powder. And don't forget to shift the cocoa powder or it'll form lumps in the batter.
If you're vegetarian, replace the melted butter with many kinds of flavorless oil and use almond or soybean milk instead of whole milk.
Enjoy the cake~~

健康免冰淇淋機可可冰淇淋（四種材料）Healthy 4 ingredients no-churn chocolate ice-cream

我這個夏天每次回家第一件事就是鑽進冷凍庫給自己挖一大球冰淇淋！我覺得我好像對冰品上癮了，有點擔心～因為我爺爺有很嚴重的糖尿病所以我也是高風險群之一:( 於是我開始找低糖冰品食譜然後多方嘗試，終於被我找到低糖又能無罪惡感滿足我口腹之慾的版本了!!我就跟自己說一定要在夏天結束前貼這個食譜哈哈哈
這冰淇淋食譜好到難以形容！它不用翻攪（大部份不用冰淇淋機的食譜都要每2小時刮鬆才能達到綿密口感）、無油、無加糖、純素無蛋無奶、健康、美味而且容易挖，最讚的是不用冰淇淋機而且超簡單做！只要將四個材料放入果汁機轟隆隆的攪打一番你的冰淇淋液就完成了！
這個冰淇淋一人份（約兩球）是90大卡，跟一般市售品（約230大卡）比起來真的低太多了～

The first thing I do after getting home this summer is dive into the freezer and give myself a big scoop of ice cream. I think I'm addicted to the cold- sweet-treat and I'm worried about that because my grandpa had diabetes, that means I had a high risk of having it, too. So I started to search for low sugar ice cream recipes and tried them one by one. Finally, I found the one that satisfies my sweet tooth without any guilt! I told myself that I MUST share the recipe before the summer ended!
This recipe is too good to describe. It’s no-churn, low fat, no sugar added, dairy free, egg free, healthy, tasty and easy to scoop. Best of all, it doesn’t require ice cream machine and take no effort to make. Just put four ingredients into a blender or food processor and your ice-cream base is done!
The calories per serving (about two scoops) are only 90kcal, that’s much less than the store bought product which is about 230kcal.

巧克力起司蛋糕Chocolate Cheese Cake

(這個食譜原本是年初時上傳的，現在補上英文)

我遇到一個對巧克力過敏的小朋友，真心地為他感到惋惜～沒有巧克力的人生是黑白的！尤其是寒流來時，只要巧可力吃完就很痛苦！這時就算外面下雪（天啊上次霸王級寒流還真的下雪）我也要去買巧克力。但是我喜歡苦一點的，see's我完全無法接受（雖然他很有名，有朋友去美國玩就容易收到），太甜喉嚨會癢.......

巧克力已經夠罪惡，再加起司...噢噢真是太超過了！

(I uploaded this recipe at February this year,  now I add English version to share this amazing dessert  with more bakers.)

I feel really sorry for kids who are allergic to chocolate. For me, the life without that dark, rich, bitter sweet magic bean is unimaginable. Chocolate is necessity especially in winter, I can't endure the coldness without the energy it gives to my body and soul. 

This cake is a combination of two of my favorite ingredients: chocolate and cheese. What's more, it's no-bake can set without gelatin!

摩卡慕斯

不是我要說，這個慕斯蛋糕美到可以放在頂級法式甜點店玻璃櫥窗內！咖啡的苦味剛好中和的巧克力的甜味，所以我不另外放糖，超摩卡的～我承認，這個蛋糕有點太華麗，也可以只做慕斯單吃。這個慕斯作法超簡單，不用打發不用吉利丁，最棒的是超美味！上面的馬斯卡彭起司也很好吃～
