Sweet dish or Dessert are made on a special occasion. They gather the family members and friends under one roof to eat them. We usually make them on family dinners, eids, weddings, and parties when people get together.

That's why it is said:
Dessert develops a bond between people, it tells us that people are gather to celebrate their happiness.

Share with us your favorite summer dessert?

I'm not a dessert person, i like Qulfi and Gola in summers instead. However, i have recently made dessert on a family dinner and i loved it. I kept the sugar bare minimum which is the reason it was eadable as much as one wants.

It was traditional Vanilla custard. Desi moms have trust issues when it comes to their daughters trying a fancy dish on a special occasion. That's why i make Desi dishes on special occasions and try fancy food in private.

🍥 What is the main ingredient to make your dessert great?

Main ingredients to make it are:

• Milk
• Custard Powder
• Sugar

I also used fruit cake, jellies and cream in the dessert and for decor.

Custard Recepie

• I took 5liters of milk which i made to boil. Then i added 4.5 extra large spoons of the sugar, it depends on your taste, lesser the sugar the better it will be.

• Next, i added 18 large spoons of vanilla custard in the milk. Make sure to add it thoroughly and dissolve it evenly. No lumps should be left.

• After that, it's time to pour this mixture into the milk while stirring the milk slowly.
  Keep stirring in for 5min or more until you find it has cooked well.

• I kept it aside to cool down before putting it in the freezer.

• Beat the cream using a beater to make whipped cream.

• Meanwhile i made jelly using Rafan jelly powder. All i did was to pour the powder in two cups of boiling water and stirr it for 5minutes. You can extend the time if you want your jelly to be definite and solid in shape.

Orange jelly was in better shape(which i cooked more) than green jelly (which I barely cooked).

Pour it in the mould to get in your desired shape and put it in the refrigerator. Cut it when it has cooled down.

Dishing Out

-Take a container or a bowl and place the cakes on the base.

• Add a layer of custard.

• Pour oreo cream and colourful jelly on the custard. I also added almonds and more cake in it.

• Add another layer of custard.

• Finally, i used almond, jelly, and cream for the decor and failed miserably( for me). Because light was off the whole day and the cream only got the chance to be in the fridge for a few hours. Which is the reason decor wasn't done as it was supposed to, as cream was very thin.

🍥 Whom with you want to enjoy your dessert and why?

I enjoyed it with my family on a dinner. Eating alone is one thing but having a dessert which is symbolic to have in a gathering is the real thing.

Eating with your family also strengthens the family bond which ultimately ensures a positive and stress free life.

🍥 Can your favorite dessert keep you healthy and relaxed?

Custard can't be made without milk and who doesn't know the benefits of milk.
These days people don't drink milk instead they keep pouring in tea. Which is why most of the time people are deficient of calcium( which strengthens the bones).

Kids also don't drink milk without showing tantrums. Feeding them milk in the form custard can deceive them. They gonna love it if you serve it chilled, in the end they will eat healthy food, isn't it?

🍥 Share with your memorable pictures of your favorite summer dessert?
