In A Rush For A Sweet Fix?

-
Ever felt like you absolutely needed to eat something sweet, and yet time crunch and your own lazy self got the better of you? I am referring to the real dessert craving which a spoonful of sugar cannot satisfy.If you have felt this way, I am also sure that you have at some point looked for an easy to make dessert recipe on the internet. But alas. While some sites have led you to believe that there is no such thing as an "Easy To Make Dessert", others have given you false hopes of "2 Ingredient Dessert Recipes" that use two premixes as the two ingredients.After scouring the internet and experimenting in the kitchen I have come up with four recipes that was both easy to make and have only two or three ingredients.Here they are:

Banana and Peanut Butter Ice Cream

Ingredients:
Bananas                 4 nos
Peanut Butter         4 tbsp
Fresh Cream         50 ml

Method:
  • Blend all three ingredients in a food processor till smooth and creamy texture is achieved.
  • Pour in an airtight container and freeze overnight.


Banana Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients:
Bananas                4 nos
Oats                      100 g

Method:
  • Mash the bananas and oats together till a mushy batter forms.
  • Spoon onto a greased baking tray and bake for 20 minutes at 120*C.


Mango Fro-Yo

Ingredients:
Mango                4 nos
Yogurt                100 g

 Method:

  • Hang yogurt in a muslin cloth for at least 1 hour to drain out excess water.
  • Make puree of mango pulp and pass it through a strainer to remove fiber.
  • Mix both ingredients together and freeze overnight.


Lemon Ice Cream

Ingredients:
Lemon                  4 nos
Condensed Milk    200 g
Soda Water           50 ml

 Method:




  • Mix all ingredients together swiftly.
  • Do not overmix.
  • Pour into airtight container and freeze overnight.
  • Garnish with lemon zest.

Hope you enjoy these recipes. Also, did you notice my blog makeover? Like it? Dislike it? Let me know. :)

Little Princesses

I have to attribute my absence to my internship at Flurys. It is a six week internship that is part of my curriculum and I am exactly midway at three weeks. Confectionery has always been the dream so I opted to train at a stand-alone bakery and confectionery. In the city of Kolkata what better confectionery to train with than Flurys?  I have learned a lot in these three weeks alone and no doubt will continue to learn much more by the time this internship concludes. Numerous speciality cake orders are placed at Flurys every single day. Birthday cakes uncountable with the occasional anniversary and wedding. Children's birthday cakes are ordered by their parents everyday and the little girl inside me feels a sense of satisfaction every time I see a finished birthday cake before the birthday girl. A pattern I have been noticing is that parents of girls below 5 years of age choose to get princess themed cakes made for their daughters with dominant shades of pinks and pur

Peter Gilmore's Eight Texture Cake: Day 1

Peter Gilmore's Eight Texture Cake Had an extremely tiring morning in the Patisserie Practical Class today. Well for obvious reasons. Considering my classmate Sukanya and I took up the task of recreating Peter Gilmore's Eight Texture Cake. Yes. That dreadfully complicated and sort of dramatic dessert we all saw on Master Chef Australia. Let's just say it is not that easy to keep your head when you have to make eight different and complicated desserts elements in less than 5 hours. We had to make a Cake Base, Chocolate Mousse, Chocolate Hazelnut Dacquoise, Chocolate Caramel Vanilla Ganache, Chocolate Caramel Cream Milk Chocolate Praline Disc, Dark Chocolate Disc and Hot Chocolate Sauce.  Well we slogged, panicked, rushed and almost gave up, but with a lot of help from all our other classmates and by the strength of our wills we got through the preparation day. We did not finish all 8 elements, but the 6 most time consuming ones are done. Both the chocolate di

Popsicles are Forever

Do colourful, icy popsicles take you back to sticky, hot, summer afternoons of your childhood? If it does, this post is bound to take you down memory lane to the good ol' days of happiness, innocence and ignorant bliss! Even if popsicles don't ring a nostalgic bell in your mind, this post is bound to pull at all the right cords in your sugar-addicted soul. Before we fall into a nostalgic coma, lets talk about what popsicles actually are.   A  popsicle , ice candy ,   ice lolly ,   ice cream stick ,  freeze pop ,   ice block ,   icy pole ,  chihiro  or  ice pop  is a water-based frozen dessert. It is made by freezing flavored liquid, such as fruit juice  around a stick. Artificial food colouring and flavouring substances are very commonly used to give the brightness and sweetness so reminiscent of popsicles. Growing up in an all-girls' school in Kolkata, popsicles were known as ice cream sticks (EVEN when they were non-dairy ice lollies) and the absolute trademark
