Caramel Kulfi

Kulfi, this Indian frozen dessert is well known for its particular shape, they goes for a specific moulds which is quite easily available in India. If you live in abroad and you have completely forgotten to get your kulfi moulds, i have an easy breezy substitution for those popular moulds. Just get a popsicles mould from your nearby supermarket and make your favourite frozen dessert with those simple moulds. Eventhough i have kulfi moulds at home, i like to make kulfis in popsicle mould as they are quite easy for the kids to carry and enjoy thoroughly without much efforts.My today's recipe goes for a different kulfi, actually i want to name it as Fusion kulfi, as this kulfi goes for caramel sauce. I used homemade caramel sauce, which can be made easily with sugar and butter. But still if you dont know or dont want to make your homemade sauce just stick with the store bought ones.

Eggless No Bake Frozen Mango Custard Cheesecake

June is a month of celebration for us, that too towards the last week its almost everyday a birthday. My younger brother,my daughter, my cousin and my SIL celebrates their birthday. Obviously i wont keep myself away from baking. First comes my brother's birthday, usually i'll bake vanilla cake for him, but this time for a change i went for an eggless No bake cheesecake with mango, this King of fruits started showing their head in Indian stores and this time i pickled some Pakistani Mangoes( dont ask me about the name coz i dont have any idea about the name, but the fruit was really very fleshy and prefect for making this cheesecake). Since i was bit busy with other stuffs i couldnt bake him a cake earlier, obviously i went for this quick cheesecake and kept in freezer instead of fridge.

Eggless Clementine Gelato with Salted caramel Flakes

Gelato is Italian icecream, this frozen dessert ressembles very much like icecream as most of the ingredients for making gelato goes almost for icecream. Gelato is prepared with milk,cream,sugar,fruits or nut puree as main ingredients as they are prepared by heating process. Eggs are used in this Italian icecream for giving a smooth texture to Gelato. But i tried making mine as eggless. Icecream maker is not need for making this homemade gelato, yes you can prepare gelato by using your blender. Since my theme for this week's blogging marathon is Summer specials,i couldnt resist to post this fruity gelato with salted caramel flakes i bought recently from our weekend trip.

Pina Colada Mocktail

Pina colada is a sweet and rum based cocktail made usually with rum, cream of coconut,pineapple juice served either blended or shaken with ice. Since i chosed mocktails as this week's theme for blogging marathon am posting today a non alcholic delightful pina colada. Do you know, pina colada has been the official beverage of Puerto Rica since 1978.Coconut and pineapple blended together makes this incredible mocktail and trust me we enjoyed thoroughly. With loads of icecubes, eventhough the weather was super down and nasty we couldnt stop ourselves having this beautiful drink.

I went for storebought coconut milk and fresh pineapple chunks which i blended together as fine paste with a scoop of vanilla icecream, the addition of icecream turned this mocktail seriously very delicious. A super creamy mocktail to enjoy thoroughly while the weather is too hot,an incredible thirsty quencher definitely.Whoever love this exotic combination of drink will definitely go crazy if they taste this delicious mocktail.Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM#40. 

Chilled Pomegranate Oats Shake

Its peak season for pomegranates and they are dead cheap in our nearby farmer's market, obviously my H got a kilo of super sweet pomegranates. After having them in salad and as juices, there were still some pomegranates sitting sadly in my fruit basket, none at home want to have them either in salad or as juice, instead of making them again as a juice, i tried my hands in making this healthy, very refreshing shake with pomegranate seeds,rolled oats and vanilla icecream. Seriously this combo works wonder and whoever told 'no' to the pomegranate juice, will definitely enjoy thoroughly this healthy shake.

If you dont have pomegranate,just add any seasonal fruits like apples,pears,pineapples in this shake, am sure you will definitely love this healthy shake thoroughly. Also you can have this shake anytime of the day, even for breakfast during summer. This shake is a big hit among my kids, obviously this shake is a kid's friendly drink.

Hot Chocolate Fudge~SFC#~1

Hot chocolate fudge, its been ages i had this fantastic dessert. But finally i could make some at home and thanks to Preeti of Simply Tadka for suggesting this incredible and easy breezy dessert for this month's Sweet Fantasy Club. Few scoops of vanilla icecream and a simple hot chocolate sauce is enough to make this incredible dessert. My kids enjoyed thoroughly this incredible dessert and asked me again to make this chilled dessert.A quick hot chocolate sauce topped over few scoops of vanilla icecream makes this fantastic hot chocolate fudge.

Eventhough the weather is too cold, we seriously enjoyed thoroughly this dessert, my H have completely fallen in love with this dessert. Definitely this dessert is a real feast for both icecream and chocolate lovers. I went for vanilla icecream and homemade hot chocolate sauce which i simply prepared by melting chocolate chips in double boiler. If you want to change the flavor of the icecream just go with your favourite flavor.

Falooda ~~SN Challenge

Yesterday i was eagerly waiting to see our this month's South vs North Challenge an event owned by Divya Pramil, unfortunately we the South Indian Team came to know about our challenge very late in nite. Eventhough before leaving to bed, i checked the recipe and its our family favourite Falooda, this drink is in my  to do list since ages, but somehow i couldnt able to make them earlier. This time how can i skip this drink, whenever we go to Indian restaurant, my daughter will definitely order this chilled and sweet beverage and we love to have a sip from her's. Everytime she yells on us for finishing wat she ordered but who cares and everytime we do the same. Obviously when i prepared her favourite drink at home, she had this drink after her lunch and enjoyed finally a tall glass of this falooda completely by herself.

Do you know Falooda or Faluda is a cold and sweet beverage containing many ingredients which is very popular in South Asia. Traditionally it is made by mixing rose syrup with vermicelli, basil (sabza/takmaria) seeds, jelly pieces and tapioca pearls along with either milk or icecream.Falooda vermicelli are often made from arrowroot rather than wheat. The rose syrup may be substituted with another flavoured base like mango,chocolate, saffron or else with any other fruit syrup but my choice is always rose syrup.Nowadays faluda is a popular summer drink throughout Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, and the Middle East and is readily available in restaurants and beach stalls.Thanks to this month's North team Minnie of The Lady8home for challenging the South team (which i belongs) with this incredible beverage while Vijayalakshmi of our South team challenged the opposite North team with Ellu Poorna Kuzhakattai, a must for the upcoming Ganesh chathurthi in every South Indian's home.Minnie suggested us two versions of falooda one with icecream and second one with malai kulfi, somehow i went for the icecream one.

Strawberry Lime Granita

Granita looks like sparkling jewels and it contains hardly any calories.Granita goes for fresh fruits, lemon juice and sugar, with these three ingredients you will get a beautiful frozen dessert.This frozen dessert requires no ice cream maker and just need to freeze the mixture in a stainless steel box and scrape the frozen mixture with a fork.Using stainless steel box will accelerate the freezing time and helps for a quick freezing.Usually i'll make strawberry granita, but for a change i tried adding some lime zest and lime juice in this granita,which gives seriously a different flavour to the usual strawberry granita.

This strawberry lime granita is a  prefect summer dessert and the texture of granita ressembles quite like gelato or sorbet also its easy to make since it doesnt go for fancy equipments other than a blender or a food processor, so you can prepare the granita with any sort of fruits eventhough my favourite goes for strawberries..This granita is my third post for this week's blogging marathon and check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM#30.Sending to Srivalli's Summer Special Mela.
