Light cheesecake

This cake has a silky, cloud-like texture when eaten at room temperature. A sip melts in your mouth, and the cheesy aroma fills your nose. It's sweet but not cloying, absolutely delicious! Freezing it in the freezer is even more amazing! Once you take it out of the freezer, it has a texture like cheese ice cream: dense and slightly icy, the cheese flavor is even stronger, and the sweetness isn't overpowering. In the summer, a piece of this is cool and fragrant, and the refreshing feeling spreads from your mouth to your heart. It's even more satisfying than a brand-name dessert. It's a true freezer "happiness bomb"! This cake has been requested countless times by the Divine Beast. While it's truly delicious, it's a bit of a hassle to make. It definitely cured my procrastination. When this cake was placed on the table, the Divine Beast's eyes lit up, and I muttered to myself, "Next time...next time, I'll definitely not procrastinate." (Of course, whether I can actually do that is another matter.)

walnut, sesame, peanut brocade rolls (packets)

The filling blends the rich, mellow aroma of black sesame powder, the crunchy grains of peanuts and walnuts, and the gentle sweetness of milk powder. The multifaceted flavors intertwine, each bite offering a nutty crunch and the richness of sesame, a sweet yet non-cloying experience. The dough is also infused with black sesame powder. After steaming, the aroma of wheat permeates the air, mingling with the scorched aroma of sesame. The soft dough envelops the generous filling. One bite is filled with a soft exterior and fragrant interior. The richness of sesame, the crunch of nuts, and the aroma of milk are a comforting blend from nose to taste. It's a perfect fusion of traditional pastry and nutty flavors, incredibly delicious. By the time I realized it, my stomach was already swollen.
