Gajar ka halwa
Carrot Halwa is a sweet pudding dish mostly popular in the Northern India. Over years its popularity has increased and it is now-a-days made all over India. This is a quick and easy version of making carrot halwa. Carrot is called ‘Gajar’ in Hindi. As you all are aware of the nutritional benefits of carrots, this is a great way of getting children to eat carrots. In this recipe, you can substitute milk and sugar with condensed milk. Mostly I use condensed milk to make it the quick way. It is delicious served both hot and cold.
Caramel Tart
This is a very simple and super quick recipe. This tart makes a perfect for all year round after-dinner dessert. I use the ready made Carnation Caramel, which saves tons of time. You can make your own pastry base as well. But for ease and quick desserts I sometimes go for the ready baked pastry base. You can finish off this recipe with chocolate curls, a dusting of chocolate powder or gold powder.
WHITE CHOCOLATE RICE CRISPY TREATS
White chocolate rice crispy treats
Rice Crispies on their own are an all-time favourite with kids. Now imagine adding white chocolate and marshmallows to it. You guessed right……absolute heaven. Kids love this treat….well adults too. Super easy, super tasty treat and my kids loved them. I made them for an after school treat and it was gone in no time. Indulge…. 😉
Red Velvet Cupcakes
After all of the buzz that red velvet had been receiving, I decided to try baking red velvet cupcakes. I was expecting to be blown away. What I baked and ate was pretty dry and tasteless (although the cream cheese frosting was good!). Even my children weren’t impressed (though I must say they loved red velvet cakes before then). I wasn’t impressed (obviously) and it was about six months before I could summon the courage to try one again. After all trial and errors, must say this recipe worked perfect for me……
