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.

This flavour combination was a fun surprise, it tastes a little like Cinnamon Toast Crunch X Frosted Flakes. While I enjoyed the warmth of this pint, I think I preferred the previous version of this recipe that was more pudding-like and had a strong corn aroma.

The Good (what went well):

A little extra lemon juice: Trust the process! Right after I added a whole tablespoon of lemon juice, I thought I seriously messed up. The acidity overpowered everything! However, flavours change when they freeze and the final product was perfectly bright and balanced.

The Bad (lessons learned):

Cinnamon overpowered corn: For the cinnamon lovers, this might not even be a bad thing. But, my vision for this recipe was corn-focused, and this one was just too cinnamon-y.
Icy texture: Bring back the tofu, don’t skimp on the butter.

Overall Rating: ★★★☆☆

This pint tastes just like a sweet corn tofu pudding (douhua) that you might find in a Chinese dessert shop. I think my momma would approve (not too sweet)! This is the first recipe to make the list for Zebby’s Pick! Fantastic aroma, flavour, and texture.

The Good (what went well):

Fragrant buttery sweet corn: The toasting and steeping steps do the heavy-lifting to draw out the essence of corn.
Butter: Real butter brings an irreplaceable level of depth to the flavour.

The Bad (lessons learned):

The flavour was a bit flat: More salt, acidicity, and spices (e.g. cinnamon, cardamom, or nutmeg) would provide some balance.

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.
