New Year, New Beginnings

Hope you all had a great start to New Year. So, how many of you made resolutions? I m not a resolution on a New year's day person. Anything new can start anytime, any day, why to stick it to a date? True, isn't?

Did you all party on New year's day? I love to host a party , cook for my friends, crack jokes and laugh out loud like crazy. We are blessed with a small gang of like-minded friends. We meet most of the weekends, at each of our homes, kids would be having fun and we adults too play few games, laugh like crazy and enjoy good food.

For this New year's get together i made some Bun pizza and Cheesy bread rings, both are quick to make appetizers, and a super hit with my friends and family. These loaded Sheet pan cheese toast is also a most requested recipe with my friends.

For the dessert, puff pastry baklava and this cute dilpasand puff or coconut puffs are everyone's favorite. These puff pastry bakes are great crowd pleasers and can easily be baked ahead of the party.

🍊 Eating Fresh Fruits

I don't know about other kids, mine are very selective. Elder never even smells a fruit, younger is ok with apples and crazy behind mangoes, other than that no fruits are entertained here.

So, as a concerned mama, I feed them fruits my own way. Smoothies are great way to introduce fruits to kids. Mine love a good banana smoothie, so me being a intelligent mama, add another fruit along with banana and serve them. This delicious Banana & Fig smoothie with chia seeds, is one such brilliance.

Apricot & banana yogurt smoothie is yet another delicious recipe with sweet apricots and the feel good banana. As mentioned earlier, my younger fella is a mango fanatic, so this musk melon mango smoothie is his favorite.

🍓 Fruit Desserts

Another delicious way is to include fresh fruits in desserts. Yes, I can hear you saying it is unhealthy. I believe, anything homemade is healthy. Because we are mindful and have better control of the ingredients that we put it to the food, and it can be easily portion controlled.

Today's colorful looking strawberry cream, is one such dessert, fits the bill for a weekend treat, and also beautifully masks the fruit.

This colorful Jelleye Anar/Pomegranate jelly is made of fresh pomegranate juice. I served with white chocolate ganache, till date the best fruit dessert in my kids opinion.

So, if your kid is not willing to eat a fruit, don't fret much. There are million ways to include fruit into their diet, just go find yours.

💭 What is Fruit Cream?

Fruit cream is nothing but fresh fruit puree, blended with cream. We have a Haji ali here, which is famous for its fruit cream. Their fruit cream menu, make me go weak at my knees.

Today's recipe, Strawberry cream, a simple dessert made with fresh strawberries, whipping cream and some condensed milk. The sweetener here is completely optional, in case you end up with sour berries, they come handy.

📋 The Ingredients

Strawberries, the hero of this luscious fruit cream is strawberries. We get fresh strawberries here from November till April, though we get them year around, the ones we get in the season doesn't cause a hole in your pocket.
Whipping cream, I m using a dairy whipping cream to make this silky smooth strawberry cream. You can also use non-dairy cream.
Sweetener, I m using a small can of condensed milk, it is optional, in case you end up with sour berries, use it.

📝 Step by Step Instructions

Please check recipe card below for exact measurements of each ingredient used and also for the detailed instructions

Wash and hull the strawberries. Remove half of them and puree them with some condensed milk. Divide the fruit puree among shot glasses, this will be the bottom layer of the cream.

Take the rest of the berries, with condensed milk in a blende. Puree them first. Then add condensed milk to the blender, pulse blend it 2 times. Take care not to blend continuously, it might split. So pulse blend, twice or thrice.
Divide the cream among the shot glasses. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours and serve chilled.
