No-bake cheesecakes!

lmao nope but damn that funfetti cheesecake looks freaking amazing
KAIJU SUSHI (a dessert)
I saw Pacific Rim today and all I could think about during the scene [SPOILER] when Hannibal’s organ harvesters are inside the dead Kaiju [/SPOILER] was "Wow, if Kaiju weren’t horrible abominations that are probably incapable of being digested by humans, I bet they’d be great on the sushi market!"
So, Kaiju sushi. It’s a super-thick altered rice pudding recipe with berry-flavored blue jello on top. The textures are similar so they don’t taste out-of-tune with each other, and it’s mostly creamy rice pudding with a splash of fruitiness from the jello. TL;DR - if you don’t like rice pudding, you probably shouldn’t eat this.
Instruction/Recipe Post soon to follow {HERE}
i need this in my mouth
SCREAMS IF YOU MADE THEM JELLO SHOTS THEN THE BURN OF THE ALCOHOL COUD SUBSTITUTE FOR THE AMMONIA BLOOD OR WHATEVER IT IS KAIJU GOT UP ONS AND IT WOULD ALSO FUCK YOU RIGHT UP
SOMEONE COME AND HAVE A PACIFIC RIM PARTY WITH ME RIGHT THE GODDAMN HELL NOW
YEAAAAH!
I’M INCLUDING A LINK FOR MOTHERFUCKERS WHO WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT GELATIN/JELLO AND HOW TO MAKE THAT SHIT SUPER ALCOHOLIC.
THAT LINK IS SO HARDCORE IT EVEN SHOWS ROCKSTARS HOW TO MAKE VEGAN JELLO!

Pasta is great. It’s like hey, let me take delicious things like butter,or meat, or tomatoes or basil and then let me just fuckin mix whatever the fuck i want in and combine it with some random ass noodles. That’s basically pasta. BUT, there’s a big difference between “basically pasta” and “holy shit food of the gods” pasta, and that is that the latter has some rules that must be followed. 10 PASTA COMMANDMENTS COMIN UP:
- Always boil pasta in boiling SALTED water. Ever had a dish where you forgot to salt it before cooking it, and no matter how much seasoning you did post saute/sear, it still sort of tasted bland on the inside? Same goes for pasta. Your sauce could be fuckin on point, but if you don’t salt dat pasta water, ya fugged, bruh.
- Always have your sauce ready BEFORE the pasta. Pestos, emulsified butter sauces, bolognese sauces, they should be in their respective sauce pans, heated and ready to go (unless we’re takin pesto or carbonarashit, as those go bad with heat). The worst thing you could do is fuck up and overcook your delicious pasta bc you were too busy making or finishing up your sauce.
- Always TASTE your pasta. I don’t care if the package says it’s ready in 1 minute or an hour, taste your pasta from the boiling water at least 2 minutes in, and every 2 minutes after that. Al dente’s usually the way to go, but you’ll never know when to take it out if you’re not constantly tasting.
- DO NOT strain your pasta, wasting your pasta water and allowing your pasta to cool. Use tongs to take pasta straight up form the boiling water (don’t dry it, nerds) and throw it in your sauce. A little pasta water gets in? no probs, and I’ll tell you why.
- If your sauce is reducing too much, or it’s too tight, add pasta water. It’s salted and hot and ready to go, it won’t dilute the flavor at all, you’re golden duude. golden.
- Finish your pasta in the sauce, allow it to become homogenous, let the sauce stick to the pasta, BECOME ONE WITH THE PASTA BRUH.
- Add cheese last, because cheese get’s weird and fucked up in hot pans, so it’s best to throw that on right before you’re ready to eat that shit up.
- 4 oz is a normal serving size for pasta. If you don’t have a scale, that’s basically like the first pic above. If you hold the pasta like such, and the width of the bunch is a little smaller than an american quarter, then ur good 2 go bruh.
- Dry pastas are not better/worse than fresh pasta. They’re legit just made with different flours using different procedures. One isn’t ‘fancier’ than the other u pretentious buttrockets.
- PASTA IS NOT SCARY, IT’S DELICIOUS. These rules look tough, but honestly it’s not that bad bruh. I believe in u.
and now, onto the recipe I used for my pasta. It’s a restaurant favorite, we always make it on the line because it’s simple, delicious and super filling.

- Add a little boiling pasta water to a saute pan over low heat, and whisk/mix in the butter quickly till it’s creamy and emulsified. If it’s too thick, just whisk in a teeny bit of pasta water. Add 2 bay leaves and a sprig of thyme for aroma, remove when pasta’s ready.
- Once the pasta’s ready to rock and roll, use tongs to scoop it up and place it in the sauce. Flip and mix using tongs. Add cheese and crack a lot of pepper. Add salt if it needs seasoning, add more pasta water if the sauce tightens.
- and bam, ya ready to roll.
~ I promise u if you use these pasta techniques, people will think ur literally a GOD. ur welcs.

- Add cinnamon sticks and nutmeg then simmer
- Remove from heat and mix in alcohol
- Stir in a tsp. of honey, add more to taste if needed
- Garnish with orange peel, cinnamon sticks, or cloves (optional)

Master Hayden’s Butterbeer Latte Recipe:
So, it’s all explained in the recipe card graphic, but I have a few special notes to add.
Firstly, I invented this beverage in an effort to include all the flavours and textures I know Butterbeer to include and how I imagine it: creamy, frothy, butterscotch, shortbread. Let me explain how. Obviously butterscotch is covered by a caramel made from butter and brown sugar (not to be confused with raw sugar). The excess fat from the butter and combined with milk makes it creamy. The vanilla is commonly used in baked goods, thereby reminding one of cakes and biscuits, and a dash of cinnamon adds warmth of flavour. When the milk is boiled it creates froth that rises to the top - make sure it doesn’t boil over. Oh, when it’s done, the fat in the butter will obviously rise to the top so not to worry when an attractive yellow film forms.
To my taste this is damn near perfect butterbeer. If it could be carbonated then I would say it is perfection.
Currently drinking: The best Butterbeer I have ever tasted.
2 cups almond milk 2 tbsp canned pumpkin or butternut squash (I prefer pumpkin) 1-2 tbsp sugar, to taste (It calls for two, but I found 1 was enough the second time) 1.25 tbsp pure vanilla extract 3/4 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp ground ginger 1/4 tsp nutmeg 1/4 cup freshly brewed espresso OR 2/3 cup strong coffee
- In a saucepan combine milk, pumpkin and sugar and cook on medium heat, stirring, until steaming. Now bring to a boil and stir in vanilla and spice. You can now transfer to a blender and process for 15 seconds until foamy. If you don’t have a blender, don’t worry- just whisk the mixture really well with a wire whisk. Some of the mixture fell to the bottom of the cup, so blending it might help prevent this. Pour in espresso or coffee. Add on cinnamon or whip cream on top if desired.
