Nutty Fudgy bites

 


Christmas and New Year holidays, the most wonderful time of the year, is just around the corner! It's a time when family and friends get together to enjoy this amazing festive season with beautiful decorations, mouthwatering food and new clothes. As the festive fervor has also caught on me, I felt an urge to come up with a quick n easy yet delicious recipe that would make a wonderful memory of this joyous occasion. Follow my quick and easy oven-free recipe (yes, you read that right!) to enjoy this nutty, fudgy holiday season.

DRY INGREDIENTS
  • Glucose biscuits - 20 to 25 (crush roughly)
  • Dry fruits n nuts(cashew nuts, almonds, raisins, pistachios ) - Chopped roughly
  • Cocoa powder - 3 to 4 tbsp

WET INGREDIENTS
  • Honey  - 2 to 3 tbsp
  • Vanilla essence
  • Water  - 2 to 3 tbsp

PREPARATION STEPS:
  • Mix the Cocoa powder, Honey, Vanilla essence and water in a bowl to make chocolate sauce.
  • Cook the sauce ingredients while stirring continuously on low flame till the sauce is slightly thick.
  • Take off from the flame and let it cool (sauce will thicken as it cools).
  • In a another bowl, mix the biscuits and dry fruits (reserve some for the topping).
  • Now mix the chocolate sauce and the biscuits n dry fruit mix so that sauce coats the biscuits evenly.
  • Spread this mix into a greased cake dish and level the top well with the back of the spoon.
  • Cover the cake dish with lid.
  • Keep in the fridge for a couple of hours to set.
  • Unmould on a flat tray.
  • Sprinkle the reserved dry fruits and press slightly.
  • Keep in the fridge for some more time.
  • Cut into squares and serve.
(They taste even better if you serve them the next day as all the flavors get infused)

Tiramisu

TIRAMISU This is a sofisticated coffee flavoured layered Italian dessert . Tiramisu means ' cheer me up ' . Indeed it lives up to its name . It's comfort in every bite . A bite into it  , will pepp you up .        The kick of the coffee from the biscuits dipped in it  and the luscious  creamy texture of the cheese are incorporated beautifully together in harmony.           Tiramisu can be served in individual bowls, glasses or set in a shallow dish . Traditional Tiramisu is made savoiardi  sponge biscuits , eggs, sugar, mascarpone cheese  flavoured with cocoa and  alcohol .             It's important that the biscuits don't become too soggy or they will crumble and fall apart . You need to be able to taste  the coffee , but not make the dessert bitter at the same time.            As I feel that there is no end to experimentations and playing a...
