The biggest payoff of "effort versus appreciation" comes down to these three for me:
- Perfectly executed Rice Krispie Treats (under 20 mins)
- Various "exotic" flavors(*) of homemade Ice Cream (20 mins prep, under 1 hr total)
- Crème Brûlée French Toast (20 mins prep, 8 hrs refrigeration, 40 mins bake)
(*Ice cream flavors most requested by tasters include: sakura-zuke – salt-pickled cherry blossom, strong black coffee – French roast whole beans cooked in milk with lots of caffeine, and wasabi)
