Nobody says no to desserts after a meal, and don't we all have that separate stomach solely for desserts, no matter how full we are after our meals?
That said, nothing beats home-made sweets and cakes and we have 3 easy recipes for you to try making your own desserts at home. To add that floral-citrus taste to our desserts to freshen us up in this hot Singapore weather, we will be including Marigold Peel Fresh Yuzu Juice in the 3 recipes.

- Ingredients
10 pcs round digestive biscuits, crushed finely
100 grams toasted almonds
1 tablespoon raw cane sugar
250 grams cream cheese
¼ cup thickened cream
1 ½ tablespoon castor sugar
½ cup Marigold Peel Fresh Yuzu Juice
2 teaspoon gelatin powder, dissolved with ¼ cup hot water
2 teaspoons of grated Yuzu rind (for garnishing)
- Method
1. Mix the digestive biscuit crumbs, toasted almonds and raw cane sugar.
2. In a blender, combine the cream cheese, thickened cream, castor sugar and Marigold Peel Fresh Yuzu Juice, blend until smooth.
3. Remove the blender lid and pour in the gelatine mixture. Replace lid and blend again for a further 2 minutes on high speed.
4. To assemble, place the biscuit mixture at the base of a glass dish (you may use liqueur glasses to enhance presentation).
5. Pour or spoon the cheese mixture on top until it fully covers the base. Leave it in the fridge to set for about 3-4 hours and garnish with some Yuzu rind before serving.

- Ingredients:
1 litre Marigold Peel Fresh Yuzu Juice + 100ml Water
1 packet Konnyaku powder
Extra yuzu juice drink
- Method:
1. Pour Marigold Peel Fresh Yuzu Juice and 100ml water together in a pot and boil under medium heat.
2. Add in konnyaku powder and stir to boil with a hand whisk.
3. Off heat and continue to stir for another 3-5 minutes.
4. Pour yuzu liquid into an 11-inch square tray.
5. Leave to cool and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or when ready to serve.
6. To serve, cut yuzu jelly into cubes and place into serving glass. Pour in some yuzu drink and add in some mandarin orange pulp. Or if you prefer, pour yuzu liquid into konnyaku moulds and chill it before serving.
Kitchen note:
1. Leave the yuzu juice drink at room temperature for 30 minutes before boiling just to prevent the konnyaku powder from curdling too quickly from the cold liquid.
2. After boiling the yuzu liquid, you’ll see a thin layer of oil on the surface. Just remove it with a spoon before pouring it into your desired mould.
