Desserts

Desserts are often made simply from sweetened fruit. Some more refined are presented here.

Red Bean-Sauce

The production of Red Bean-Sauce is a time-consuming thing to do since the beans get mellow slowly.

 Red Bean-Sauce
IngredientsPreparation
250 g red beans
(Azuki)
300 g sugar
½ teaspoon salt
Cook the beans for two hours in plenty of water. Replace the evaporated water again and again. Add sugar and salt only if the beans are mellow. Cook for another 10 minutes with low heat. Stir from time to time.

You'll like vanilla ice cream or Mochi with the Red Bean-Sauce. Mochi is steamed, strained Japanese sweet rice with many nutrients and is easy to digest. The Mochi are therefore roasted in a flat pan without fat.

Green Tea-Ice

 Green Tea-Ice

(Matcha)
475 ml milk
120 ml cream
120 ml rich cream (40%)
250 g sugar
8 egg yolks
Heat up the milk until it is cooking. Take away from the stove and add the green tea powder. Whip the sugar and egg yolks in a different pot until it thickens. Add and agitate the milk. While stirring, heat up the mixture without letting it boil. Take away from the stove and let get cold. Whip the cream until it gets stiff and add to the egg mixture. Stir well. Fill into the ice cream maker, then freeze.

You can strew sesame onto the finished ice or serve it with fruit sauce:
