Tips

When it comes to ingredient substitutions, it's important to consider the flavors and textures you're trying to achieve. For example, if you don't have cotton candy for the pancakes, you could try using flavored syrups or extracts to add sweetness. If you don't have matcha for the ice cream and shortbread cookies, you could experiment with other green teas or even cocoa powder for a different taste. And if passion fruit isn't available for the glaze, you could try using citrus fruits like oranges or lemons for a similar tartness. Be creative and have fun with your substitutions to create a unique and delicious dessert.
