Really Sugary Peanuts

I was trying to make caramel as part of the peanut mousse recipe from @carocas but having never made caramel before, I didn’t quite get it right first time and ended up with a lump of sugar fused together with peanuts.
People actually loved them (probably because they were eating almost pure sugar) and suggested I shared, so here it is 😀

Cooking Instructions
- 1
I halved the peanuts, but you could also just throw them in whole
- 2
Add the sugar and water to a pan, cook on low heat until the sugar granules dissolve
- 3
Turn the heat up and cook for a few more minutes making sure that it doesn’t caramelise (if it starts burning/going dark brown, its too long)
- 4
Add the nuts to the mix and remove from the heat. The sugar should start going back to granules again
- 5
Empty onto a silicon mat and allow to cool
- 6
📝 This works by basically making sticky sugar and lettting it dry again. If you really want to make caramel instead then you have to just heat it longer until it actually caramelises. My mistake that resulted in this recipe was that I mistook the brown colour of the golden caster as a sign that it was caramelising when it wasn’t. When I tired again with white sugar it was much more obvious (see the video)

Easy and Smooth Sweet Potato Pudding Easy and Smooth Sweet Potato Pudding
I put together a creamy and enjoyable sweet potato pudding that's great for dessert.If you use 70 g sugar, it's not too sweet. That's because I considered the sweetness of the caramel.Adjust to 80 g of sugar if your sweet potatoes aren't too sugary.The pudding will turn out to be too dense if your sweet potato is extra large. That's why I recommend you use about 250 to 300 g. Recipe by twinflower cookpad.japan -
Asian Sweet Potato Mousse Asian Sweet Potato Mousse
I was addicted to Asian sweet potato pudding once and found the recipe for mousse!!I prefer a looser mousse, so I changed the recipe a bit.It's easy and has smooth texture. I like the mousse better.Adjust the amount of sugar since the sweetness of the sweet potatoes vary. I recommend sweetening the mousse lightly and have it with brown sugar syrup.If you don't have heavy cream, you could replace it with milk. It will be much lighter. Recipe by Eripu- cookpad.japan -

Elegant Japanese Sweets (Jo-Namagashi) for Spring Elegant Japanese Sweets (Jo-Namagashi) for Spring
I wanted to make adorable Japanese sweets that were perfect for spring, so I did some experimenting with uiro dough, trying to make it not too stiff but not too soft. Finally, I thought it looked about right, so I uploaded the recipe.If you need to re-shape the dough, roll it into a ball, cover it with plastic wrap and microwave it for 30 seconds, then stretch it out. If you have too much of the shiro-an, it'll stick out of the sides, so be sure to match the amount of bean paste to the size of the circle of dough. My microwave is 600w, but yours may differ, so please adjust the microwave time in step 3 accordingly. The grains of flour shouldn't be visible, and it should be springy. When the dough dries out it gets hard, so you may want to cover it with plastic wrap while you're working. Recipe by Shiropiyo cookpad.japan -

This is my husband's favorite.Adjust the amount of sugar to your desired level of sweetness. A liberal amount of palm sugar will give it a rich sweetness, and a liberal amount of caster sugar will give it a light taste. It's tasty served either hot or chilled and served over shaved ice.

Sweet Potato Pudding Sweet Potato Pudding
I had some sweet potatoes in, and came up with this because I wanted to enjoy a pudding that had the soft texture of sweet potatoes.I used "anno-imo" which is a sweet potato with a high water content. If you are using a normal one, increase the amount of milk and sugar a little.The recipe will give you a generous amount of caramel, so if there's any left over, store it in the fridge!
