CEREAL MILK FRENCH TOAST 🥣🍞

This started as a cereal milk experiment and ended up being my favourite french toast I’ve ever made 🥹 and it did take me a few time befor getting it right!

// tips before starting //
• Best to use plain white bread, so cereal milk flavor will shine more!
• Use the leftover cereal milk and turn into condensed milk, which adds sweetness and more flavor!
• Toast the cereal beforehand to add deeper, roasted flavor

// ingredient //
1 thick sliced plain white bread (about 2 finger wide)
300-350mL whole milk
1 cup corn flakes (unsweetened)
70g mascarpone cheese
50g plain yogurt
2 tsp sugar
1 slice unsalted butter
1 tsp hojicha powder
Homemade cereal milk condensed milk

// Cereal Milk //
1. Toast cereal in air fryer at 300F for 15 minutes, shaking in between.
2. Add whole milk and rest in the fridge for at least 1 hour
3. Sift and squeeze out every last drop of milk from the cereal

// Cereal Milk Condensed Milk //
1. Reserve 1/2 cup cereal milk for the French toast. Use the rest for the condensed milk.
2. Combine cereal milk and 1/6 cup sugar in a saucepan. Heat over medium, whisking until dissolved.
3. Reduce to low and simmer uncovered.
4. Stir occasionally until reduced by half and thickened, about 30 minutes.

// Yogurt Cream Topping //
1. Mix plain yogurt, mascarpone cheese, a splash of cereal milk and sugar.

// French Toast //
1. Spread cereal milk condensed milk on both sides of the bread.
2. Soak bread in cereal milk for 3 minutes per side
3. Butter the pan and pan fry both sides until golden brown
4. Take your leftover cereal milk condensed milk and mix in sifted hojicha powder
5. Pipe the yogurt cream on top, sprinkle crushed cereal, drizzle the hojicha condensed milk generously

Save this one — you’re going to want to come back to it 🤍

AN EYE CANDY BAKERY IN TORONTO THAT YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS! 😍

Toronto has so many hidden gem bakeries and has been quietly winning for two years 🍪

Walk in and you’re immediately greeted by the most eye candy display — glass shelves stacked with cakes and cookies that are almost too pretty to eat.

What we tried:

🍵 Mochi Cookies — freshly baked in hojicha black sesame and matcha white chocolate. The texture is so good, and honestly dangerous if you’re trying to just have one.

🍰 Caramel Crunch Cake Cup — so light and airy I wish you could feel it through the screen.

🍫 Nama Chocolate Burnt Cheesecake — two completely different textures of creaminess in one bite. The nama chocolate and cheesecake layers together are so good.

☕ Matcha Strawberry Latte — housemade strawberry purée and it shows. Fresh, vibrant, not overly sweet.

☕ Madagascar Vanilla Latte — those aren’t black dots, those are real vanilla seeds. The aroma alone is worth ordering it.

They also collaborate with .ca so you can find exclusive treats there too 🤍

THESE PUZZLES DON’T NEED GLUE! 🧩

I’ve been doing puzzles from and I genuinely love them so much. They work with artists around the world, so every design feels like something you’d actually want to frame — not just pack away once it’s done.

They also have 200, 504, and 1000 piece options, and the 504 comes in the cutest tin box ✨ and I just reuse them 😂

But what really sold me is the quality… the pieces lock in so perfectly there’s no glue needed at all.

I finished this one and immediately put it up on my wall 🧩✨

OUR JAPAN HAUL - LAST PART 🛍️🇯🇵

These are the last few things I wanted to share for my Japan haul, including the matching ceramic cups from in Okinawa! They are also known for bear plates but they were sold out 😭 but it’s a cute shop to explore!

Another item that I’ve been eyeing for at least a year is the food processor from ! It’s so aesthetically looking, and it works so well! It did say it’s for Japan only, but since it’s cordless, I didn’t find any problem charging and using it 😂 now I can replace all my blender and food processor with it!
