New Year, New Beginnnings

Hope you all had a great start to 2016. 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 me, every weekend is a party.  I go from a crazy person on a Sunday morning, to a normal person by Wednesday evening. I start baking something good or make some dessert keeping the weekend in mind.

This colorful looking strawberry cream, is one such dessert, fits the bill for a weekend treat. It also beautifully masks the fruit, makes it one tempting bowl for your little devils, who runs a mile when you ask them to eat their fruit.

🍊 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 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.

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.

Strawberry baked yogurt, yet another colorful and healthy dessert. If baked yogurt is like our mishti-doi , Strawberry frozen yogurt, is like its western counterpart.

What I m trying say is, if your kid or you as an adult is not willing to eat a fruit, then 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 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. 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.
