氣炸南瓜蛋布丁 Air fry Pumpkin Egg Pudding — Simple, Cozy, and Delicious

 

Air fry Pumpkin Egg Pudding — Simple, Cozy, and Delicious

Looking for something that’s effortlessly cute, naturally sweet, and cozy enough for fall mornings or after-dinner treats? This Pumpkin Egg Pudding is one of my favorite go-to recipes. It’s a very easy dessert, snack, or even breakfast, made right inside a mini pumpkin!

The best part? It only takes a few ingredients and an air fryer.




🧡 Ingredients (per pumpkin)

  • 1 Mini Pumpkin – I love using Kabocha for its rich, nutty flavor.

  • 1 Egg

  • 10g Sugar

  • 40ml Milk

That’s it! Simple, wholesome, and satisfying.

I bought this from local market!!



🥣 Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pumpkin
Cut off the top of your mini pumpkin (like making a little lid). Scoop out all the seeds and stringy bits inside.

 



Step 2: Preheat and Soften
Place the cleaned pumpkin in your air fryer at 180°C for 5 minutes. This softens it just enough to make it tender and easy to eat later.



Step 3: Make the Egg Mixture
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 egg, 10g sugar, and 40ml milk until smooth and slightly frothy.


Step 4: Fill and Cook
Pour the egg mixture into your preheated pumpkin. Carefully place it back in the air fryer at 180°C for 25 minutes. The pudding will gently set inside the pumpkin shell.

 



🍯 Optional Dessert Twist

If you’re serving this as dessert, sprinkle a little sugar on top after cooking and torch it lightly to create a thin, crackly caramel layer — just like a crème brûlée! It’s the perfect contrast between creamy custard and crisp sugar topping.



☕️ Serving Ideas

  • Enjoy it warm for a comforting treat.

  • Chill it in the fridge for a smooth, custardy texture.

  • Pair it with coffee or tea for a cozy afternoon snack.

就這麼簡單!天然、健康又滿足。


🥣 製作步驟

步驟 1:準備南瓜
切開南瓜上蓋(像做南瓜盅一樣),挖出裡面的籽和纖維。

步驟 2:預烤軟化
把清理乾淨的南瓜放進 氣炸鍋,以 180°C 加熱 5 分鐘,讓南瓜稍微變軟,口感更香甜。

步驟 3:調製布丁液

如果想當甜點享用,氣炸完成後可在表面撒上一層砂糖,再用噴槍 稍微燒出焦糖脆皮,就像 法式烤布蕾(Crème Brûlée) 一樣,滑順的布丁配上脆糖衣,超級療癒!

Salted Egg Yolk Cheese Sticks 鹹蛋黃芝士條

I was invited to have luncheon with my ex-coworkers recently and I decided to make this treat for them to share at work. I just use frozen butter pastry sheet and store bought jar of salted egg yolk sauce in this recipe. Ingredients are pretty simple and it only took me less than an hour to make and to bake it.



Ingredients: 

(20-30 sticks depending on your size preference when cutting the sheet):

  • 1 frozen butter pastry sheet
  • 3 Tbsp salted egg yolk sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (Cheddar/Gruyère)
  • 1 Tbsp parmesan cheese powder 
  • 1 Tbsp chives
  • some salt and black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Defrost butter pastry sheet in refrigerator
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C)
  3. Lay it flat and spread salted egg yolk sauce throughout the sheet 

  4. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly to cover the whole sheet 

  5. Add chives, salt and black pepper 

  6. Cut the pastry sheet with pizza cutter (I found it easier to cut than using a knife) into long pieces according to your length preference 
  7. Twist the pastry and place on a baking sheet
  8. Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top of the twist sticks 
  9. Roll each stick sideways to let it coated with the excess parmesan cheese powder on the baking sheet
  10. Put in oven and bake for 20 minutes or until brown
  11. Let it cool down and serve 

  12. Keep in air tight container and finish within 3 days.

Hojicha and Matcha Mochi Mini Muffin 焙茶&抹茶麻糬迷你鬆餅

Recently one of my Hong Kong high school friends moved back to Vancouver from Hong Kong with her husband. We took watercolor class together and I invited her to my place for dinner few weeks ago. She is really talented with soap and candle making, and she also did lots of handmade cards when she was in Hong Kong. She brought her handmade candle and also a pack of Matcha powder when she came to my place. She told me that this Matcha Powder is good for baking. It's matcha flavor and color are still strong after baking. I can't wait to try this on my next baking project.

I decided to make some mochi mini muffin by using her Matcha Powder and some of my own leftover Hojicha powder. The flavor of Matcha bursts out and the color still stays bright green. I am happy with that. I packed some of them and gave them to her as a return gift. Hope she likes it 💖




Recipe adapted from One Happy Bite:

Ingredients (make 36 mini muffins)

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 (13.5 oz) can coconut milk
  • ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 cups Mochiko sweet rice flour (If you want less chewy with more cake texture, you can substitute 1/8 cups Mochiko flour with cake flour)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp matcha powder (I use 1 tbsp matcha powder and 1 tbsp Hojicha powder to make two flavors)
  • ¼ cup hot water (Divided 1/8 & 1/8 for 2 flavors)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously grease the muffin tin with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Melt butter in a small pot over medium heat. Once butter is melted, turn the heat off. Add coconut milk and condensed milk, whisk until combined. Then add eggs, and whisk until well combined. Set the wet ingredients aside.
  3. In a small bowl, mix matcha powder with hot water. (mix Hojicha powder with hot water). Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, prepare dry ingredients by combining sweet rice flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt together.
  5. Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking constantly until well combined. (Divide batter in half if making 2 flavors). Then add matcha mixture and mix until no lumps. (Add matcha mixture to half the batter and add Hojicha mixture to another half batter)
  6. Fill muffin tins with batter up to just below the rim. Bang the muffin tin onto the counter a few times to get rid of air bubbles. 
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  8. Allow the muffins to cool completely before serving. The muffins get chewier as they get cooler.



Notes

Mochi muffins can be stored in an air tight container for up to 3 days.

Honey Cheese Tofu Dessert 蜂蜜芝士豆腐



At a friend's wedding party, they hired a Japanese catering company (@Noah's Cafe) to provide their wedding banquet food catering service. Their food were so good. One of the appetizer they served was Cheese Tofu. I was in love of this appetizer and I started to look for recipe. Since it tastes both sweet and savory, I chose to make it as a dessert. Cheese Tofu alone tastes so good. The appetizer that we had was served with almond, crushed peanuts, maple syrup, honey and baguettes on side. Instead of Maple syrup, I chose to use Brown sugar + Honey, sprinkle some Kinako (Roasted Soybean powder), and add almond slices. This combination gave a hint of Japan flavor. But I also tried the Maple syrup + honey and it was good too. It has a lighter flavor than my Brown sugar version.   

Honey cheese tofu

Ingredients:

Cream cheese 奶油芝士108g Silken tofu 豆腐 170g Milk/soy milk 牛奶/豆漿200ml Powder gelatin 魚膠粉 1.5 tsp茶匙 Honey 蜂蜜  6 tsp茶匙 Pinch of salt 鹽少許 Serving:

2nd option: Maple syrup楓糖漿 1/2 tsp茶匙 + honey蜂蜜 1/2 tsp茶匙, Almond Slices杏仁片, Crushed Peanuts花生碎

Directions: 1. Mix together honey and cheese 將蜂蜜和奶油芝士混合在一起 2. Strain tofu as many times as necessary to remove lumps 過濾豆腐 3. Add milk and gelatin to a pot on medium heat 將牛奶和魚膠粉加入鍋中,用中火煮 4. Stir immediately to avoid gelatin lumps 立即攪拌,以免出現膠塊 5. Just as the milk starts to boil, add in tofu 待牛奶開始沸騰時,加入豆腐 6. After stirring to a smooth consistency, add cheese and honey mixture 攪拌均勻後,加入奶油芝士和蜂蜜混合物 7. Stir until smooth, about 2 minutes, then remove from heat 攪拌至光滑,約 2 分鐘,然後離火 8. Pour into container 倒入容器中 9. Refrigerate until it reaches your desired consistency (3 hours for soft serve) 冷藏直到達到您想要的稠度(大約3小時)

Serving options:
I served it with Brown sugar + honey mix syrup + Kinako or Maple Syrup + Honey mix. Garnished with Almond slices and/or crushed peanuts.
