Helpful Kitchen Guide
We are starting with a baking guide of sorts that children can go through before they dive into the recipes. This will really help with the process of each recipe and lead to a smooth and successful dessert making session!
How to cook desserts in a microwave
In the book you will see recipes that require you to cook your desserts for 5-10 minutes. Microwaves are great appliances that let you cook desserts super quickly and safely. Everytime you cook a dessert, all you need to do is:
a) Make sure you are using microwave-safe bowls/plates. This will cook your desserts properly and keep your microwave safe.
Microwave-safe symbols are used on the containers.
b) Place your microwave-safe baking dish into the microwave. Select the duration as per the recipe and press the ‘start’ button.
c) Once the duration is over, press the ‘stop’ button and carefully take out the dessert from the microwave.
d) The plates/bowl you have used will be hot so make sure to wear oven mitts before taking the dish out from the microwave.
This colour coding indicates the use of the freezer.

How to melt chocolate
Chocolate is an essential part of making desserts. A lot of recipes in the book call for melted chocolate. It is important to know how to melt your chocolate correctly. This makes sure your dessert batters are smooth and the final dessert has the ideal texture. To melt your chocolate perfectly:
a) Chop your chocolate into small chunks. The smaller the chunks, the faster the chocolate will melt.
b) Add the chunks into a microwave-safe bowl and heat the chocolate in the microwave at 30-second intervals.
c) This means that the first time you put the chocolate chunks in the microwave, you should set the heating duration at 30 seconds. Once 30 seconds are up, carefully take out the hot bowl, and use a spoon to gently mix the chocolate chunks.
d) Put it in the microwave again for 30 seconds and mix the chunks if you see any small bits of unmelted chocolate.
e) Ideally doing this in two rounds works best and your chocolate will melt evenly. However, if you still have some lumps, you can repeat the process and melt these at 30-second intervals till all the chocolate is melted.
f) Be super careful not to overheat the chocolate because if you do, the chocolate will seize which means it will become really hard and you won’t be able to melt it again.
How to whip cream
Whipping cream is actually super easy to do but you need to take care of a few things. First things first, to whip cream, you need an electric whisk. The electric whisk has the power to run at a really high speed which is what’s needed to whip cream perfectly.
While whipping cream, you need to know that the cream will reach different stages. This includes: liquid, soft peaks, and stiff peaks.
a) Liquid is when you pour the whipping cream into your bowl.
b) Once you start whipping the cream at high speed, 3-4 minutes later you will see certain lines forming in the bowl. This means the whipping cream is thickening. When you pause the whipping for a second and lift your electric whisk up, you will see the cream slightly drooping from the electric whisk. This is called soft peaks.
c) Continue whipping at high speed and after 10-12 minutes you will see the lines become more and more prominent and now when you pause and pick up the electric whisk, you will see stable peaks also called stiff peaks and the cream will hold its shape.
d) Stiff peaks play an important role when you want to layer your desserts with whipped cream or when the whipped cream needs to get folded into other mixtures while making a dessert.
⬇ What does it mean to ‘fold in’ whipped cream and how is it done
Folding in whipped cream is a delicate but easy process. When a recipe mentions ‘folding in whipped cream’ it just means carefully adding a light and airy mixture
