Sweet and crispy, this Badam Mithai Mixture melts in your mouth, leaving a ‘chill’ aftertaste due to the icing like consistency of sugar. Indeed, this is an indulgent treat that gives you child-like joy! It is quite easy to make too, provided you take care of two aspects. One is the consistency of the sugar syrup, which is very important to get the right crunch. The other is the proper procedure of soaking, deskinning and grinding the almonds. Ensure that you soak it in boiling hot water, so that is becomes easy to remove the skin. You should also be patient when grinding the badam to get a really smooth paste. Once you get this right, you can use the same procedure to make many more mithais with other nuts, roasted flours and seeds.

Crunchy, creamy, rich—there is no shortage of praise for this dessert! this is luscious party fare, with the special touch of hazelnuts. However, where hazelnuts are not available you can use walnuts instead, without compromising on the taste and feel.

To make this mousse quick and easy, i have opted for a spread like nutella that is readily available.

The mango orange smoothie is sweet, tangy and totally lovable! oh no, but the mango season comes just once a year! not to worry, make the mango pulp in bulk and enjoy this smoothie throughout the year.
