Layers of chocolate Neufchatel and sliced strawberries make for a gorgeous dessert! Fluffy cream and a garnish of extra chocolate & strawberries adds the final touch to the presentation.
Tofu Katsu
As a vegetarian alternative to standard tonkatsu, I made an easy panko-crusted tofu katsu. It’s wonderfully crispy and fulfills my katsu craving without any meat!
