Pancake #Transformation





Talking about transformation, it has been all over social media for the past few days, I thought of transforming our boring pancake mix. Normally,  I just fold in choc chips or cheese; sometimes topped with caramelized sliced bananas or chopped apple whenever I serve it for breakfast.

Feeling lazy this morning, thought of having pancakes with a twist. Simply add green tea powder to your water and pancake mix. Prepare and cook as usual and voila! Green tea pancakes.

Drizzle it with chocolate ganache and a dollop of green tea whipped cream. For the former, it is equal parts of heated cream and chopped chocolate. Mix until smooth. While for the latter, add a teaspoon of green tea powder to around 3/4 c of thickened cream and whip using wire whisk or hand mixer until medium stiff. It takes a minute or two if done manually.

Planning for the family's meals can be stressful. I sometimes run out of creative juices ha.ha. Anyway, this one is worth the try.

Loving Kiss Part 3 #MagnumMini #MissionAccomplished





This is simply apple pie ice cream. I don't normally like white chocolate because I find it very sweet but the white choco coating of this is just right. With the addition of cinnamon,  it surprisingly came out a winner. Not to mention the apple bits and crust pieces.



The last flavour variant I had is the Dark Chocolate. I love dark chocolate  but we were quite disappointed with this one. I guess, we didn't like the texture, too soft for an ice cream. Oh well, it was mousse after all.

If I were to rank the five variants, I like the raspberry and meringue, followed by Creme brulee, then, Apple Pie, tiramisu comes fourth and lastly the dark chocolate.

It's a bit expensive so I only buy when it's on special.
