Red Bean Topping (for Shaved Ice or Ice Cream)
Unlike red bean paste -- the smooth, mashed filling found in mooncakes, steamed buns, and mochi -- this is a red bean topping similar to the azuki bean topping used over Korean patbingsoo. The beans are largely intact, boiled tender in water and sugar, and preserved with syrup. It can be used to flavor ice cream or to top shaved ice (or both!)
Makes about 1 1/2 cups
Red Bean Paste (for Mooncakes)
A simple recipe for this classic Asian dessert ingredient. If you can use this red bean paste in something other than mooncakes like steamed buns or mochi.
Makes about 2 cups of paste. Easily halved or doubled.
Lime Cream Cheese Frosting
Simple but unbelievably delicious, refreshing, and addicting. Lime and cream cheese were meant to go together in this rich and creamy frosting recipe.
Makes enough frosting for about a dozen cupcakes if frosted; about a half-dozen if piped.
