This is one of our favourite instant desserts, it comes frozen in a two pack all you need to do is take it out of the freezer, heat up a non stick fry pan and gently cook till both sides are golden. You can also reheat it in the oven at 180 deg C. for 15 minutes.
Inside is a delicious sweet red bean paste which goes really well with vanilla ice cream, great eaten on its on as well.

Having already broken two ice cream scoops in the past 3 months, i thought it was time to spend a little extra on getting something that would last longer than the intial first scoop of ice cream.
Considering on average our home can devour a whole tub of vanilla ice cream in less than 2 weeks, it was worth the $14.95 i paid at the counter of Victoria’s Basement at Auburn. Now i can make those perfect rounded balls with ease, even with the hardest of ice creams, it fits snuggly in my hand, and its happy to go into the dishwasher for a clean after we’ve had our dessert fix. Grins all around after we bought this little beauty.
