Fruit trifle

'Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year'

What are your New Year's resolutions? Do you ever make any?
Setting the resolution might be easy, sticking to them can be challenging..
This year I have already set my resolutions and I'm pretty determined to stick to them.. This new year I have set not one but 5 resolutions which are..

Call me stupid for sharing the resolutions publicly but I kind of feel motivated.. How do u guys stick to your resolutions? Kindly share your secret!!

Alrighty..

Let's start this New Year on a sweet note..

We absolutely love jelly custard and it has become a regular thing at home..So thought 'll take it up a notch by adding up more layers to create this beautiful trifle. If you're looking for a light, delicious dessert options, this is the one for you! You can build as many layers as you want, I went with 6 layers.. You can either stack the layers of fruits, jelly, custard in a trifle bowl or serve in  individual glasses(single serve desserts are the best, ain't they?)

Typically, a trifle glass is stacked with fruits, jelly, custard, cookie crumble, sponge cake, whipping cream the options are endless.. Here's how I made it!

Ingredients (makes 3-4 glasses)

1. Cookies-8, crumbled
2. Fruits- I used 10 strawberries and half an apple
3. a packet of jelly(I used orange)
4. Water- 1 1/2 cup
5. Custard powder- 3 tbsp
6. Milk- 3 cups
7. Sugar- 6 tbsp

Method

• Layer 1 - Crumble the cookie and place them in the glasses and even it out.
• Layer 2 - Arrange the strawberries over Layer 1
• Layer 3 - For custard, Take 1/2 cup of milk, mix it with custard powder and sugar without any lumps until both gets dissolved completely. Keep aside. Heat the remaining milk, when it starts to boil. Add the custard mixture to the milk and keep stirring continuously to avoid lumps and burning of the mixture.When it starts to thicken switch off the flame and allow it to cool down.

       Once it cools, pour some over the strawberry layer.

• Layer 4 - For jelly.. Heat 1 1/2 cups of water, when it boils add the jelly crystals and stir vigorously until the crystals are dissolved completely.switch off the flame and pour the mixture into a bowl and let it set. Refrigerate it and cut it place it over custard layer. 
• Layer 5- Arrange the apple chunks over jelly/jello layer
• Layer 6- Pour some more custard over the apple layer
• Finally top it with fruits, nut or chocolate shavings

That's it, No biggie!! 

What I love about this recipe(?) is you can change the fillers to suit you or the folks you're creating it for.. options are truly endless!

Jelly Custard

Hello, my dear friends! It has been a while since my last blog post.I had few busy weeks. But yeah, I know - no excuses ! I admit that I was too lazy to type out a post. But here is a special treat to make it up for the delay.

We are heading towards peak summer, and I am sure some 'cold treats' to ourselves will definitely make our day. Hot summers reminds me of my childhood memories where I picture me having having ice-cream or popsicle after lunch with my amma (mom). I happened to go through my recipe book & I came across this recipe. I am clean bowled when it comes to Jelly. I love its shiny and shaky texture. Usually we make custard with fruit salad, but this time I wanted to make it with jelly. This is very easy to make & a healthy dessert too. Here you go with the yummy recipe....

Orange Cupcakes

How was your weekend? I had a fun-filled weekend, thanks for asking ;) It was my friend's birthday and I wanted to bake a lovely cake for her. Yeah Yeah just another excuse for me to bake cake. haha. Do you really need an occasion to bake/eat cake? I just get hyper excited and my imaginations run wild when I think of baking a cake. It's so easy to please a girl by cake because there are zillion no. of ways(girly stuff) you can decorate the cake. But it's so tough to impress a guy with a birthday cake. It was my 'much' better half's 30th birthday this year and I wanted to make it special by baking a geeky cake which is the only way to impress him.This is what I baked for his birthday.

Geeky right? :D 

So, I was thrilled to bits to surprise my friend with a lovely birthday cake. Since I was on orange smoothie heaven at that time, I thought why not Orange Cupcakes which has the right amount of citrus flavor, smeared with frosting and a orange wedge on top :D You get the picture? No? Ok see this

Ok enough said. Let me give you the recipe.
