Orange Scented Chocolate Hazelnut Marble Cake

Can you think of anything better than a nice, thick slice of cake for end of the year celebration? I don’t think I can. Especially when it has orange flavor in it, which I find particularly appealing with all the winter citrus in the market. There is also chocolate and a good amount of hazelnut meal, which adds a wonderful taste to the cake. I baked two cakes for a potluck and served each slice with whipped cream and orange segments.

Butternut Squash Halwa

Halwa is a pure pleasure. It is an aromatic sweet pudding typically served as a dessert, with coffee or tea after a meal, or as a snack. It can be prepared from flour, fruit, vegetable, lentil or nuts. This halwa calls for few pantry staples: Butternut squash, sugar, oil, cardamom and of course a few goji berries for color contrast, but raisins would be equally fine.

Millet “Berry Shrikhand”

Let me introduce you to a delicious creamy dessert called Shrikhand. It is a simple delicacy of strained yogurt, whipped to cream like consistency, mixed with sugar, flavorings and fruit pulp. As you can tell from the title of the post there is millet in my recipe. It is not only yummy but is virtually guilt free. The only fat here comes from whole milk yogurt cheese.

Chocolate Pudding

Custard is among one of the dessert that I remember from childhood. It is similar to english pudding, but is eggless. My mom often used to make it for weekend family dinner, get togethers or when she had unexpected guests. It was quick, convenient and always tasted good with seasonal fruits. As for me it is not only a dessert with fruits but also a base for several other desserts.
