With just a small bit of ingenuity, turn everyday food into something cute using Kaori’s easy recipe! With a few simple ideas, an ordinary recipe magically transforms into a cute dish.   In this recipe you'll learn how to make a no-bake cheesecake by simply combining and mixing! This easy recipe can be followed by anyone and can be easily changed into a character cake of your choosing. Chocolate plates are hard to make but if you follow these steps you'll be able to make your own in no time!     Ingredients 200g cream cheese 200g fresh cream 70g sugar 1 tbsp lemon juice 10g gelatin 20 crackers (I used Ritz crackers) 50g unsalted butter   Preparation ・Add 5 tbsp water into the gelatin. Head it in the microwave for 40 seconds before combining with the cream cheese. ・Melt the unsalted butter in the microwave ・Let the cream cheese come to room temperature and then wrap the bowl in cling film before leaving to soften in the microwave.   1. ①Blitz 10 crackers in a food processor and then pour in your melted unsalted butter. Add the other 10 crackers and blitz again. Add the mix into a cake tin. Wrap a potato masher in cling film like the photo below and press the mix. *By pressing multiple times with force at this stage it will prevent the biscuit from breaking later when the cake is cooked. 2. ①Blitz the cream cheese and sugar in the food processor to combine. ②Transfer the combined cream cheese and sugar into a bowl and add the lemon juice, fresh cream and the microwaved gelatin. ③Once fully mixed pour it on top of your cracker in the cake tin. Put into the refrigerator to fully cool and solidify. Your no-bake cheesecake is done! Next we need to draw Hello Kitty's face. I made a video so check that out below too.   1: Get a picture of Hello Kitty (or character of your choice) and affix see-through baking paper on top with sellotape.   2: Trace the lines of the picture with a chocolate pen that has been warmed. *The fatter your lines the less likely it is to break when you put it on the cake.   3: Once you've finished drawing, place it into the refrigerator to harden. Once both the cheesecake and chocolate have cooled you can begin decorating.   4: Place the hardened chocolate on top of the cheesecake. *Don't worry if your chocolate breaks a little when putting it on top. You can join the broken lines back up once you've placed it on so nobody will know.   5: Once the framework is on add the eyes and nose making sure to check the sizes and balance. Finally, fill in the ribbon and clothing with either strawberry sauce or strawberry jam that has been mixed with a bit of water.   [video width="160" height="284" mp4="https://www.moshimoshi-nippon.jp/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/tmp_v4738118987716036116-1.mp4"][/video] And you're done!

With just a small bit of ingenuity, turn everyday food into something cute using Kaori’s easy recipe! With a few simple ideas, an ordinary recipe magically transforms into a cute dish.   In this recipe you'll learn how to make a "Pompompurin Cookie Shot," perfect for Valentine's Day! It may look difficult but I have made it so it's nice and easy to make!   1: Ingredients/Equipment 2 glasses or purin cups 40g unsalted butter or margarine 75g flour 20g sugar 1 cup milk Chocolate  2: ①Knead together the unsalted butter, flour and sugar. ②Add the milk in little by little while kneading. Knead until the it has a consistency moister than regular cookie dough. ③Coat one glass with a little oil or butter. ④Affix the dough from step ② around the inside of the glass as shown in the photo below. ✩It's best to make your dough a little softer than regular cookie dough to prevent cracks from forming. ✩Press the batter firmly to ensure air doesn't get into it. If you don't do this then the batter will split. ⑤Place aluminium foil into the centre of the dough to stop it from expanding when baking. ⑥Shape a cup handle and Pompompurin's ears with leftover dough from step ④. ✩Bake for approximately 10-minutes at 190° with the handle and ears. Remove the handle and ears and bake the cup for a further 5-10 minutes. 3: Melt the chocolate over a bain marie. 4: Remove the aluminium ball and once the cup has cooled remove the cookie and smear in the chocolate. ✩It's possible to remove the baked cookie smoothly by coating with butter but it will make it break easily so ensure to do it carefully. The inside of the cookie will look a little uneven after removing the aluminium ball but you won't be able to see it after adding the chocolate. Once completely cooled use the leftover chocolate to draw on Pompompurin's facial features and use it to attach the handle and ears. After attaching the handle and ears hold them in place for a moment for the chocolate to  harden. You can make a hat from the remaining chocolate but I made one from sliced chocolate. All done!   Kaori invites you into her world of character-themed food dishes in her recipe series. Be sure to check out her Instagram where she has uploaded many pictures of her character dishes!
