No actual chocolate milk here, just a chocolate variation of Japanese milk bread, with cocoa powder and chocolate chips. I did use the optional dry milk. I don’t know that the raw demerara sugar on top adds anything extra, but it was fun forming the four dough logs that give this bread its fun shape. Only a little sweet, and quite delicious.

Another recent, simpler bake was strawberry shortcake, including a parfait form, with strawberries from a farmer’s market. Recipes for the sweet biscuits and vanilla whipped cream from Sally’s Baking Addiction, found here: https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/easy-homemade-strawberry-shortcake/#tasty-recipes-68038 . My buttermilk was a month after the best used by date, so I added a little lemon juice to milk and let it sit for about 10 minutes. My next planned bake is banana muffins with coconut and macadamias, from America’s Test Kitchen. I’m not a fan of raw bananas, but like them pretty well cooked or baked.
