Fifteen minutes is all it takes to prepare irresistible Black Forest Ice-Cream Cake provided you have all the ingredients readily on hand. In this arrangement, vanilla ice-cream, grated chocolate and juicy cherries are sandwiched between sugar-soaked chocolate sponge, topped with whipped cream and decorated temptingly with tantalizing dark chocolate curls and deep red cherries. The icing on the cake is, however, the satisfaction of having made such a lavish dessert in your own kitchen and that too within minutes!
Unlike traditional sauces that need to be simmered for very long, this quick and easy version of strawberry sauce can be prepared in minutes as we thicken it fast using corn flour. With a dash of lemon juice to enhance the flavour, the addition of corn flour does not compromise the texture or essence of the sauce in any way.
The Pineapple Kesari is a variant of the ever-popular Kesari Baath, a dessert made in Karnataka. The people there love it so much that they have it even for breakfast!
While the original recipe uses fresh, chopped pineapples to flavour the cooked and sweetened semolina, here we have used pineapple puree, so that the flavour is stronger and more uniform.
Using a mixture of milk and water to cook the semolina gives it a rich taste, which is further intensified by a dash of spices like saffron and cardamom.
Use small/ fine semolina for making kesari as that will give you a nice, smooth halwa-like texture. Preparing the Pineapple Kesari in the microwave oven not only makes the process quicker but also retains the aroma and taste of the pineapple puree very well.
You can also use pineapples to make other delicacies like the Pineapple Jam and Pineapple Jam Filled Bread Tarts . Can you resist the aroma, let alone the sight of chocolate fudge sauce rich with the flavours of chocolate, honey and vanilla ice-cream. Well, here is a dashing dessert made of crushed Kit-Kat chocolate fingers, chocolate fudge sauce and vanilla ice-cream that will make you fall in love with chocolate, all over again! The best part is that this quick and easy Kit-Kat Sundae, seated smugly in a glass, is so awesome it can please anybody, young or old!
