Coffee!!! I love u Gal... no matter what anyone says!! You picked a theme real close to my heart...
I know all about expanding waistlines ... nevertheless, hope springs eternal in my heart, that one day, if I keep wishing hard, I will get my wish of becoming slim-n-trim, being able to east whatever I please and not gain an ounce!!! Till such time... eat, drink and be merry... for tomorrow we may diet!
Well, it's today now and right now... I have sweets on mind , for Coffee's MBP..
Patrolling Blogs gave me tioo many options, ALL of which I obviously wanted to try, but limited myself to the ones I am blogging about now (reason, M was going bonkers!! and I largely relied on the ingredients I had at home)
I tried Yummmmmmmmmmm Ali... I mean Umm Ali!!! from Aroma.. Asha sure whipped up a *wicked* dessert!!!! I tried it with Phyllo dough, but maybe puff pastry will be a better choice, for next time!! I forgot to take a nice picture of it in a decorative plate.. too eager to eat!!!

BTW,Asha, if you are reading this.... just a query, why did my Umm Ali turn a tad soggy? Phyllo, do u suppose?
And I made Banana Nut cake Adapting it from Swapna of Swad of India

Both these recipes were AWESOME!!! I know I am going to gain weight... but that is for later, as of now.... I'm Lovin' it!!!
Thank U Coffee for this sweet choice! What's next?
Ahhhh...!!! Yum Ali looks great but DO NOT remind me.I am baking Choc.chip cookies for my kid's school right now!!DO NOT NEED this;D
ReplyDeleteThey do use Phyllo for this too but I prefer Puff pastry. Yes,it gets a little soggy bcos Phyllo is thin and doesn't absorb extra liquid like Puff pastry does.Try puff next time and when Phyllo is used, cut back the liquid a little.Wasn't that dessert divine? I loved it.Both look perfect,enjoy:))
Manasi,
