3 dessert recipes your kids will love - The Indian Express Posted: 13 Jan 2021 09:23 PM PST By Dr Khushboo Thakker Garodia I love whipping up new healthy recipes for my babies. And the best part is that my toddlers eat it all up and I am satisfied that while these recipes are delicious and easy, it's extremely healthy and nutritious Here are 3 desserts which everyone can enjoy. Recipe 1: Banana Mixed Nut Bread Banana bread is in demand through the lockdown. This version is a lot healthier and much delicious. Ingredients 3 large bananas ½ cup jowar flour ½ cup oats flour ½ cup quinoa flour ½ cup Nachni flour Half cup mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, cashews, pistachios) – blend it fine Half cup honey 2 tsp vanilla essence 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp baking powder Pinch of cinnamon (optional) Pinch of salt ¼ cup butter Method Heat the oven at 180 degrees for 10 mins Mash the bananas in one bowl. Make sure there are no lumps. Kids love doing this – just be prepared to clean up the mess later Add in vanilla essence, and butter. Whisk it to a smooth fluffy consistency In another bowl, sift all the flours Add baking soda, powder, salt, cinnamon and mixed nuts. Mix it well Add in the banana mix to the flour mix and whisk it well. Pour in the baking pan and pop in the oven and bake at 180 degrees for 40 minutes Recipe 2: Quinoa Brownies These are gooey, decadent and healthy brownies. Ingredients 1 cup quinoa flour ½ cup cocoa powder 50 gms dark chocolate chopped 5 dates made into a paste 3 tbsp powdered jaggery 3 tbsp honey 2 tsp vanilla essence Pinch of salt Pinch of baking powder 50gms butter, melted 2 tbsp milk Method Sift quinoa flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and jaggery Then add dates, honey, butter and vanilla essence, give it a good whisk Fold in dark chocolate until it's gooey and mixed well. Kids love this step – especially they love licking the whisk. Line the brownie tray with butter or parchment paper. Pour the mix into the tray. You can then top with some chocolate if you want to make it chocolatey. My kids certainly like it. Preheat the oven for 10 mins at 180 degrees and then pop quinoa brownies in for another 20! And some delicious brownies are ready Recipe 3: Mixed Nut Chocolate Cake Need dessert in a hurry? This is my go-to when I crave some chocolate cake and want it quick. Ingredients 150gms dark chocolate chopped or chips 1 tbsp chopped almonds 1 tbsp chopped walnuts 1 tbsp chopped pecans 50 gms melted butter 1tsp vanilla essence ¼ tsp baking soda 4 tbsp whole wheat flour 2 tbsp powdered jaggery 3 tbsp yogurt Method Sift the flour and baking soda Add to it jaggery and chopped mixed nuts. Kids just mixing it all up Add in butter, yogurt and vanilla essence – mix it well Fold in dark chocolate and whisk it. Definitely make the kids do this step and give them to lick the whisk. Preheat the oven at 180 for 10 minutes. Heat it for another 25 minutes & it is ready! The good news is while these recipes are healthy, you won't have to compromise on taste at all. Do give it a try.

8 make-ahead dessert recipes to impress | SBS Food - SBS Posted: 12 Jan 2021 05:20 PM PST If you have 1 day...So you're organised, but not that organised. But hey, 1 day is better than no day! These desserts can be made the day before, so you can be super relaxed come time to serve up! Passionfruit ricotta with honey and macadamiaRicotta - the magic cheese that doesn't take months to mature. This recipe uses passionfruit to curdle the milk, adding an extra layer of sweetness to this fresh cheese. Make this the day before, and top simply with toasted macadamia nuts to serve. Chocolate frangipane and cherry tartCheat's tip: use store-bought shortcrust pastry to save yourself some time: shhh, we won't tell! Peanut butter and jelly cannoliThis Italian classic gets a New York upgrade. The shells can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container, ready for you to fill just before serving. Or, you know, ready for that comforting midnight snack. If you have 1 week...Good on you for thinking ahead! You don't have to take the whole week to make these recipes, but you can make components ahead of time, and really bust out the fireworks come showtime! Frozen lychee and coconut cream with sesame pralineAn easy frozen dessert for summer that needs no ice cream machine or churning, because who has space for another appliance, amirite? Just remember to leave the ice-cream out to soften to scooping texture before serving, or you know, eat it out of the tub. No judgement here! Lychee and rose petal jelly with pistachioBecause adults need an excuse to eat jelly, too. Rose adds a delicate aroma to these super easy desserts, and it takes just 30 minutes to make. Keep these in the fridge for up to a week, and top with pistachio just before serving! If you have 1 month...We are impressed! We only wish we had your kind of planning skills. Side-step the busy season completely by making these way ahead of time, and putting your freezer to good use. Future you will thank you, later. Passionfruit pavlova ice-cream sandwichesBring your ice-cream sandwich up to the next level by sandwiching home-made passionfruit ice-cream (!) between crisp homemade meringue (!!). The unfilled meringues will keep in an airtight container for a week, and the filled sandwiches will keep for another week. Chickpea and chocolate pastries (tortellini de ceci)Trust us, chickpea and chocolate actually go well together. Or don't trust us, and find out for yourself! Make these Italian dumplings ahead and freeze for a ready-made dessert! Coconut semolina balls (rava ladoo)This popular South Indian sweet dish from Kerala is rolled out for Indian festivals such as Onam, Vishu and Deepavali. This vegan version is made with coconut oil, but feel free to use ghee for that extra authentic taste! Keep this one in the fridge if the days are extra warm. Bring a sweet |
