I made pumpkin yokan to celebrate the anniversary of the Bitcoin whitepaper release.
*Yokan: A firm, jelly-like Japanese dessert typically made with azuki bean paste.
Cut a clear file into the shape of the Bitcoin logo.
Place the ₿ mark on a slightly firm milk jelly (gyunyukan) and carefully cut it out with a knife.
Fill the cut-out with pumpkin yokan.
The mixture I made was a bit firm, so it was challenging to fill the gaps in the ₿ shape.
Later, I tried a milk-based yokan with a smoother texture, which made the process much easier.

You don’t need any special molds, so anyone can try this!
I’m thinking of experimenting with different variations of the milk jelly and applying this technique to other dishes as well.
