A collection of meals, drinks, and desserts I want to try making. From cozy breakfasts to cute snacks and sweet treats, I want to experiment, have fun, and enjoy food that feels special. Some I’ll make for myself, some to share with the people I love, and some just for the joy of trying something new.

desserts
Tiramisu
ingredients — • 1 cup strong coffee, cooled • 2 tbsp sugar (optional, for coffee) • 1 cup heavy cream (or whipping cream) • 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese • 2–3 tbsp sugar (for cream) • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional) • 8–10 ladyfinger biscuits (savoiardi) • Cocoa powder for dusting
Notes
Steps — 1. Make coffee: Brew coffee and let it cool. Add sugar if you like it sweet. 2. Whip cream: In a bowl, whip heavy cream with 2–3 tbsp sugar (and vanilla) until stiff peaks form. 3. Mix with mascarpone: Gently fold the mascarpone into the whipped cream until smooth. 4. Dip ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger in coffee (don’t soak, just a quick dip). 5. Layer: In a dish, layer dipped ladyfingers, then spread a layer of the cream mixture. Repeat until finished, ending with cream on top. 6. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours (overnight is best). 7. Serve: Dust cocoa powder on top just before serving. 8.
mango sago
ingredients— • 2 ripe mangoes • 1/2 cup sago pearls (small tapioca pearls) • 1 cup coconut milk (or evaporated milk if you want lighter) • 2–3 tbsp condensed milk or sugar (adjust to how sweet you want) • 1/2 cup cold water or milk (to thin if needed) • 1 cup all purpose cream (optional) • Ice cubes (optional)
Notes
Steps — 1. Cook the sago Boil water in a pot. Add sago and stir to stop sticking. Cook for 10–15 mins until the pearls turn mostly translucent. Turn off heat, cover for 5 mins more. Rinse sago under cold water → drain → set aside. 2. Prepare the mango Peel and dice one mango into small cubes. Blend the other mango with a splash of coconut milk to make a smooth puree. 3. Mix everything In a bowl, combine: • Mango puree • Coconut milk • Condensed milk/sugar • Stir until creamy and smooth. • Add sago pearls, mix gently. • Add ice cubes (optional) • Fold in the mango cubes (or place on top as topping) 4. Taste + Adjust If too thick → add cold water or milk. If not sweet enough → add more condensed milk. 5. Serve Chill in the fridge 10–20 minutes (makes it better) & top with coconut shreds and mango cubes
