Tips & Notes

・Cooking time varies by rice cooker model. If your first cycle isn’t enough, repeat until the center is firm.
・Avoid overbeating the meringue — it should be soft, not stiff, for a smooth texture.
・For extra flavor, add a few drops of vanilla extract or lemon zest to the batter.
・Once cooled, store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Serving Ideas
・Serve chilled with fresh berries or whipped cream.
・Drizzle with honey, maple syrup, or berry sauce for a café-style dessert.
・Slice and pack in lunch boxes for a sweet surprise!
