Happy AA & NHPI (Asian American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander) month! ❤️

Welcome to the final part of my AA & NHPI recipe series. In this newsletter, I'm sharing some of my fave recipes from my childhood, plus a few extras.

Ah, I can't believe we made it to the last day of this series! Thank you so much for following along. It means the world to me!

In this last newsletter, you'll find recipes that remind me of my childhood. The first one, of course, is my mom's very own leche flan recipe. It's my go-to leche flan because of how silky smooth and creamy it is. Her flan is a favorite amongst my friends, since she makes it almost every time they visit!

Other recipes in this newsletter include steamed buns (which were inspired by Filipino siopao, AKA Filipino steamed buns), cookies, macarons, and more. They're all very near & dear to my heart, so I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

CHILDHOOD RECIPES

​My Mom's Leche Flan Recipe​ Super creamy, smooth custard topped with a rich, golden caramel sauce! This 5-ingredient leche flan recipe (7, if adding bear decorations) is fun to make and always a hit at my family parties. Thanks, mom, for the recipe!

​Steamed Buns​ These vegan chicken-shaped buns are ridiculously fluffy, soft, shiny, and sooooo cute. They only require 6 ingredients + your food coloring of choice! Feel free to make regular buns, or shape some cute chickens.

​Chocolate Steamed Buns​ These bunny buns are just like the adorable chicken ones, but stuffed with chocolate!

​Milo Cookies​ Soft, chewy Milo cookies that are filled with gooey, stretchy marshmallows stuffed right in the middle!

EXTRA RECIPES

​Baked Cinnamon Sugar Mochi Donuts​ Light, chewy, can easily be made vegan, and are naturally gluten-free! One of my FAVORITE donuts, hands down.

​Thai Tea Macarons​ Adorable bear-shaped French macaron shells, sandwiched together with a rich Thai tea white chocolate ganache.

​Black Sesame Cookies​ Soft, chewy cookies with white chocolate chunks! They’re made with toasty, caramelized brown butter, which really enhances the nuttiness of the black sesame!

​Black Sesame Oreo Cupcakes​ Black sesame + Oreos = one of my favorite combos! The nuttiness of the black sesame compliments the dark cocoa SO well. You'll fall in love with these cupcakes, for sure.

Thank you SO much for partaking in my AA & NHPI recipe series!
