Just Desserts


Every time some one comes home there is a nagging question: what to make! Normal food is fine but usually desserts take their own time. Getting into a time rush made me experiment with some recipes that are ready in a jiffy and look great.

Simple sundae

Icecream - any flavor (preferably chocolate/ vanilla) you can add 2 different flavors for a nice look to the dessert

Cookies - Oreo/chocolate chip/pure magic

Assorted chopped fruits/ jam/ jelly - pick any

Chocolate syrup - to drizzle

Roasted nuts - a handful

Candied cherries - a few


Crush the cookies and layer them in a goblet. Each goblet is individual serving. Add a scoop of icecream (2 if you are using different flavors). Spread a layer of fruits/jam/jelly on top. Garnish with crushed roasted nuts, drizzle chocolate syrup and top up with a cherry. Ready to eat :)


You can also put in sponge cake instead of cookies in case you want to go for a softer feel. Cookies make it crunchier.


Some more on desserts will be up shortly... please share your quick fixes too

Just Delicious - Strawberries and Bananas

I've always been a junk eater and so something that contains fruit is healthy in my opinion. It's another thing that it is coated in ice cream and chocolate sauce ;)

Verrryyy easy to make and just delicious.. I made it the other day as breakfast (!!) and had to repeat it for lunch and dinner.

You need:
Strawberries - 8-10
Bananas - 2
Ice cream - slightly liquidy (I used home made ice cream which is a better alternative)
chocolate sauce or drinking chocolate powder or grated dark chocolate

All you have to do is chop the strawberries and bananas, drizzle the ice cream over the fruits and garnish with whatever chocolate alternative you have available. It's perfect for that dessert craving. You can also use mangoes and pomegranate
