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.)
A small bowl of pork trotter with ginger warms the body and dispels wind, especially during autumn and winter—after all, putting on weight in autumn helps protect against the cold in winter! This delicious pork trotter with ginger is quite delicate to prepare. If preparing for someone confinement, start soaking the ginger two weeks in advance, bringing it to a boil daily and then turning it off. Soak for at least a week to fully unleash the ginger's aroma. My week-long pot of pork trotter with ginger is simply enticing: the trotter is a translucent brown, tender yet slightly chewy, and the flavor grows with every bite. The egg has a deep brown outer shell, but when cut open, the yolk is a firm orange-yellow, and even the core is imbued with the flavor of ginger vinegar. The ginger is crumb-free and not as spicy as those sold outside; it's refreshing and refreshing. The broth is just right—not sour, bitter, sweet, or thick—and even more flavorful than a carefully prepared broth. While Guangdong street vendors sell pig's trotters with plenty of ginger, a small piece of ginger, an egg, and a pig's trotter costs at least 20 yuan, and the flavor isn't quite there. It's nothing like home-cooked pork trotters, which are both affordable and flavorful, with every bite filled with heartfelt warmth. Speaking of which, in the month after my "divine beast" was born, we used a total of 150 pig's trotters! I just wanted to nourish my family, but the aroma filled the hallway. As if they had "smell radar," the neighbors would come to my house every day to "freeload" and take their meals away, treating me like a "makeshift pig's trotter delivery station." Everyone said my pig's trotters were so delicious they almost wanted to take the pot home with them!
