    About the event :  

    Sending this to “Healthy Desserts” at Shhh Secretly Cooking Challenge. For the monthof October, Rafeeda AR of bigsweettooth suggested us to make a healthy dessert. This meant we could use only natural sweeteners as dates, honey etc. or sugar in a minimal quantity. Rafeeda has made this delightful dry fruit kheer ideal for the festive days. 

    I was paired with Radha Rajagopalan. After pondering for sometime, I decided to make stuffed dates. Radha has used seasonal fruits to make apple date sugar halwa.

  • No Bake Strawberry Cheese Cake

    No Bake Strawberry Cheese Cake

    No Bake Strawberry Cheese Cake is an easy to make dessert with fresh strawberries. It is a no bake recipe and can be made ahead and kept. It is tasty and ideal for a weekend dinner. 

    February is the month of love and joy. With Valentine’s Day round the corner, which dessert are you making? May this season bring joy and happiness to all. Cook a good meal at home for the two of you and enjoy the day.  

    I love strawberries and make the best use when they are available. The No bake strawberry cheese cake is a delight to serve. Make it for the V-Day or any time when you wish.  Check out the other strawberry recipes shared earlier.  Strawberry Mojito, Strawberry Chia Souffle,  Strawberry Ice Cream are ideal for celebrations. Strawberry Jam tastes good with bread or chapathi. Strawberry Lassi and Strawberry Yoghurt are good to have during summer. 

    The making of strawberry cheese cake is easy but requires a little planning. Make sure you have read the recipe rightly instead of messing with the ingredients. Moreover, a lot of time is spent in the process. Cream cheese is easily available in big cities but people in small town do not have access to many things. Secondly, Agar agar needs to be cooked on a slow flame for a few minutes. It will not dissolve by itself. Thirdly, It is best to use fresh strawberries but you can use frozen ones too.

    Custard Pudding is a layered, easy to make dessert. It is a good treat during hot summer months. One can customise to their preference by adding different kind of fruits and nuts in it. 

    Custard pudding is one of the desserts I often make.  This dessert  is easy to prepare and  tailor-made to one’s taste and needs. Since it is the season of mangoes, I have used mango pieces today. One can add pomegranate arils and banana pieces too. Adding of chocolate ganache gives a good and rich taste to it.

    A few pointers to make custard : 

    1. Use good quality  custard powder. I prefer using Brown and Polson.
    2. Make sure no lumps are formed. 
    3. Custard can be made either of thin or thick consistency. Here, we need one of moderately thick consistency.

    1. Take small glasses or a small jar. Put the biscuit crumble below and press it with the back of a spoon.

    Pomegranate is another fruit that we bring regularly. I use it regularly to garnish my salads (fruit or vegetable) or in curds rice. Anywhere, it imparts more taste to the food. Of late, I am extracting juice and using it in a couple of desserts. It tastes awesome. Presenting to you “pomegranate mousse”.

    Benefits of pomegranate are many. It is  one of the healthiest foods. It consists of fibre, proteins, Vitamin C, Vitamin K , folate and potassium. Pomegranate consists of punicalagine and punicic acid, two unique substances which are found only in this fruit.

    The arils (seeds) are sweet and  eaten likewise. The juice is also healthy as it has many  medicinal uses.

    Regular intake of this fruit is found to help prevent prostrate and breast cancer. It helps to reduce the blood pressure and may also reduce the risk of heart diseases.  It has anti inflammatory properties. It may help in improving the memory.

    One can eat pomegranate arils as a snack. Apart from that, do give a try to this recipe.
