Oekaki Painting Sherbet - Whatcha Eating #106

Greetings Lovelies: A Sweet Adventure with Japanese Candies

It's your favorite host, Emmy, and I'm back to indulge in some delicious Japanese candies. Today, we're going on a sweet adventure and learning how to make these tasty treats from scratch.

When it comes to making these candies, the process is often referred to as "painting" or "shabbat." It's the Japanese version of sherbet, where you get to choose from various flavors like turtle kame taco, octopus, or penguin. I opted for the whale-shaped candy, which I just couldn't resist.

To start, we need a few ingredients: three packets of gelato-like mixture, a spoon, a shovel, and a dropper. We'll also add some blue packet, known as shabbat, which smells like ramune. This is where things get interesting, as we'll be adding liquid to the mixture and then pouring it into molds.

Now, let's talk about the different colors we can use for our candies. The pink packet smells fruity, while the keto keto is yellow. We need to rinse off any excess liquid on these paddles before using them. Once we've done that, we're ready to create our masterpieces.

For my first attempt, I decided to create a little pattern with my colors. It was almost like making sushi or popping the colors. The ikura candy just turns into little balls and falls into the tray – it's so cute! As I worked on my design, I couldn't help but feel excited about the process.

After completing my piece of art, I popped it into the freezer to set. Unfortunately, my son woke up from his nap before I could taste it the next day, so I got to enjoy it again after a few hours in the freezer. When I finally unmolded it, I was thrilled to see that it came out easily and was cold and sweet.

The flavor profile of my candy was quite unique – it tasted like ramune with a bubblegum-like quality. I couldn't taste any distinct flavors from the pink or yellow packets, but overall, I thought it was pretty good. This candy is perfect for summer, and I love the fun process of creating these little treats.

If you've never tried making these candies before, I highly recommend giving it a shot. It's so much fun, and you can even reuse some of the molds to make chocolates or other sweet treats in the future.
