This is crispy truffles recipe using leftover hina-arare ;)March 3rd is Hinamatsuri (Japanese Doll Festival or Girls' Day). On this day, we set up hina dolls (hina-ningyo) that are believed to protect girls from bad luck. Hina dolls recipe is here ;)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzhxfUAYjrEOn Hinamatsuri, we eat colorful rice puffs called hina-arare. They commonly consists of three colors: pink, white, and green: pink represents life, white represents earth, and green represents trees. Those who eat them are believed to drive out their misfortune and disease.It tastes like crispy cheesecake! Yummy!!!I recommend you to eat on the day they are made because they wilt after a day. They are still good in that way, though. hehedamn... the eyeshadow colors were washed out after the upload... http://createeathappy.blogspot.com/2012/03/pro-eyeshadow-palette.html---------------------------------Crispy Hina-Arare Cheese Truffles (Girl's Day)Difficulty: EasyTime: 5min + 30min refrigeration timeNumber of servings: 8Ingredients:50g (1.8oz.) cream cheese *softened to room temperature50g (1.8oz.) white chocolate30g (1.0oz.) hina-arare (for filling) *use the small grainsmoderate amount hina-arare (for coating) *use the small grainsDirections:1.
