Overall Rating: ★★★★☆

Brown sugar ginger tofu pudding (douhua) is a beloved traditional Chinese dessert. Add in some jujube dates, and you’ve got a legendary Traditional Chinese Medicine trio. It’s warm, sharp, sweet, and definitely making Celine’s Choice. The silken tofu and soy milk provides a rich base and great macros. Mum tried it and she liked it.

The Good (what went well):

The flavour’s got layers: There’s an immediate floral sweetness from the jujube dates and brown sugar, followed by a deeper savoury warmth from the white miso. Finally, the ginger kicks in at the end.

The Bad (lessons learned):

Refreeze before mix-ins: This pint was quite soft and melted quickly after the first spin. Briefly refreezing the pint with the candied ginger before spinning on mix-ins helped to keep a creamier texture.

Recipe

Ingredients for a 24-oz pint:

Pear, D’Anjou, diced (2 pears)

Lemon juice (1 tbsp)
Fig fruit spread (1 tbsp)
Mixed nuts, crushed (20 g)

Instructions:

Cook the pear, dates, applesauce, honey, and salt on low heat until the pears are soft and the liquid has reduced (the mixture should be jammy)
Add in the fish sauce and balsamic vinegar to the fruit mixture, continue simmering on low until the sauces have reduced (taste test: the acidity and fishiness should mellow out, and turn into a salted-caramel-like flavour)
Remove the mixture from the heat, add and melt the brie
Once the mixture has fully cooled, add in the milk and lemon juice
Blend until smooth
Freeze for 24 hours
Spin on LITE ICE CREAM
Add in fig fruit spread and nuts, spin on MIX-IN

Reflections

Inspired by classic charcuterie arrangements (minus the cured meats), this recipe combines subtle sweetness from the fruits with rich earthiness from the brie. And also…fish sauce!? It might seem strange at first but the salt and umami works wonderfully as a flavour bridge.

Overall Rating: ★★★☆☆

The Good (what went well):

Floral aroma: Honey adds a floral element that’s not found in other sweetners.
Layered flavours: Salt suppresses bitterness, amplifies sweet and umami, and balances sourness. A pinch of salt can tie different flavour profiles together.

The Bad (lessons learned):

Funky smell and aftertaste: Go easy on the cheese, sometimes less really is more.
Gritty texture: Peel and strain the pear. Use flavour concentrates.
