Flower Bouquet Cup Ice Cream - Video Recipe

This is a cute and delicious gift idea!

It is common to give flowers as a gift, but how about giving a cup of ice cream with flower decorations?! That is going to be sooooooo sweet :D

He/She will be impressed by your thoughtful presentation ♥



---------------------------------
Flower Bouquet Cup Ice Cream

Difficulty: easy
Time: 10 min
Number of servings: 2

Ingredients:
2 cups of green tea ice cream (or any flavor is okay)
almond slices
chocolate pen
Meiji Marble Chocolate (or M&M's Milk Chocolate Candy is okay)

Directions:
1. Toast (roast) almond slices in a pan or in the oven. Please keep your eyes on them and don't let them burn because you don't want dark brown petals. They will continue to toast a bit more when removed from heat, so stop the heat before they change the color. Toast more than you need to make spare petals!
2. Set the chocolate pen in a cup of hot water for a few minutes. Cut the tip of the chocolate pen and draw lines to define almond slices. Put in a fridge to set.
3. Make marks (holes) with a chopstick where you want to place the flowers. Put the petals around the marks.
4. Place Marble Chocolate (or M&M's Milk Chocolate) in the center of each flower.

Vegetable Teriyaki Beef Rolls (Korean Style) Recipe - Video Recipe

Last month (2012/1/22), there was a nationwide recipe contest in Japan called レシピの女王 (Queen of Home Cooking). The contest was broadcast on TV in Japan (nationwide) on 2012/2/6! Thanks for those who watched it ;)

Unfortunately, I couldn't go to the next stage but I met Iron Chef Sakai and Chef Chen! They were the judges :D They watched my YouTube video and said I should keep up my work! YouTube was nothing to do with the contest but I appreciate the chance they saw my video. I will do my best.

At the contest, Chef Chen suggested me to season the vegetables, so I modified my recipe!



This dish of course goes great with white rice and perfect for bento :)
