Mini chocolate fruit tarts






There's always room for dessert....especially when it's just a bite!! Little bites mean you get to sample more! Why have one big slice of cake when you can have a petite parfait, a tiny tart, a cute cake, a mini mousse and, well, I think you know where I am going with this! These adorable mini chocolate fruit cups make a delightful addition to any dessert table. 


 The ingredients are easily available....... all we need is chocolate, some cupcake paper liners, honey, fresh cream and colourful fruits. I used kiwi, peach and pomegranate here. I love the colour combination of green, yellow & red.

 Ingredients:
For the Chocolate Cups:
100gms Dark Chocolate (Chopped)
Cupcake liners (about 25 - 30 small size)
For the Filling:
1 Cup Fresh Cream  
Fresh Fruits (I used kiwi, peach & pomegranate)
Honey

 Method:
Melt chocolate using the double boiling method on stove top.( or melt it in the microwave.) 
Now comes the fun and messy part......and this is where Miss J stepped in to help out. 
Coat the cupcake liners with the melted chocolate.....with a thin pastry brush. And then place these on a tray and pop it into the freezer. Once these are set, carefully remove the paper liners. (Remember to coat the chocolate slightly thicker on the cupcake liners, else it will break when we remove it out from them). 
Now our chocolate cups are ready. 

 Whip up some fresh cream and fill the cups with it. You may use a piping bag to give it a nice swirly design and shape. 
Chop the fruits and give it a nice coating with honey. And place these on top of the cream in the chocolate cups. Refrigerate it for some time. 


 And there you go.....mini chocolate yumminess!!!

 Homemade chocolate cups are one of my favorite go-to dessert picks! Everything looks cuter when it's served in a chocolate cup! Mini scoops of ice cream in a chocolate cup. Swirls of elegant mousse in a chocolate cup. Glossy ganache piled high in a chocolate cup! 

 Convinced yet? Try serving this as a mini dessert for you guests at your next party. It is super easy.....it would look like you had spent a lot of time preparing it.

Crunchy Veggie salad with a thousand island dressing

A salad is one such dish which consists of small pieces of food mixed with a sauce. It may contain virtually any type of ready to eat food. What I like about salads is that we can be so creative with the ingredients which is based around a wide variety of foods like vegetables, fruits, cooked meat, eggs, nuts and leafy greens. Garden salads use a base of leafy greens like lettuce, arugula, kale or spinach; they are common enough that the word salad alone often refers specifically to garden salads.  Other types include Mexican bean salad, tuna salad, Lebanese fattoush, Greek salad, Thai Raw Papaya Salad and Japanese somen salad (a noodle-based salad). The sauce used to flavor a salad is commonly called a salad dressing; well-known types include Ranch, Thousand Island, Caesar and French vinaigrette. Salads can be served at any point during a meal such as an appetiser or side dish or as a main course.  Food historians tell us salads (generally defined as mixed green...

Christmas Fruit Cake....and that's what makes it Christmas!!!!

♪ It's the most wonderful time of the year ♪  Come December, and that's the song that goes on in my mind.  Probably the most celebrated holiday in the world, our modern Christmas is a product of hundreds of years of both secular and religious traditions from around the globe.  Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. It is generally celebrated on December 25th by most of the nations. Christmas celebration starts almost a month before. It includes decorating the houses with colorful lights, stars, etc., decorating Christmas trees and making a small manger. People sing carols rejoicing in the birth of Jesus. They are also busy making goodies to share with friends. Christmas is also called the 'season of giving' and people love to exchange gifts with loved ones and give gifts to the poor. Finally the actual Christmas day is celebrated by wearing new clothes and going to church, bursting fireworks and having a great feast with family. ...

Triple Chocolate mousse

They say that no matter how old you grow, being with your siblings instantly takes you back to childhood. For me, growing up with my younger brother was one of the greatest adventures of my life. We laughed at the silliest things, fought endlessly over the TV remote, teamed up in countless rounds of Contra and Mario, rewatched our favorite movies until we knew every line, and savored delicious meals on our trips to the Gulf. He was, in fact, my very first “Foodie Buddy.” Though the years have passed and life has carried us to different continents, food remains our bond. Even today, amidst the hustle and bustle, our conversations often circle back to what we loved eating as kids and what delights us now. Back then, birthdays were simple—no grand cakes or parties, and we never felt the need. But today, we embrace every occasion with joy, no matter the distance. Whether near or far, we celebrate each other’s milestones with heartfelt gestures. When my brother celebrated his milestone birt...
