Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries

  

Ingredients

Fresh strawberries with stems – 250 g

Dark chocolate – 200 g 

White chocolate – optional, for drizzle 

 Chopped nuts or sprinkles – optional

 Method

Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly. Any moisture will prevent the chocolate from setting.
   

Melt dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each round until smooth.
   

 Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
 

Place dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined plate.
 

For decoration, melt white chocolate separately and drizzle it over the dark chocolate.

Sprinkle chopped nuts or sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet

Refrigerate for 10 minutes until set.

Plating Hack: Serve on a wooden or slate board with rose petals.

Pro Tip: Use greased foil or a plastic sheet if parchment isn’t available.

This dessert works because it keeps things classic and fuss-free.

Ricotta Cheese Barfi

Ingredients

3 tbsp ghee

475g full-fat ricotta cheese

1 cup (200g) sugar (or adjust to taste)

1½ cups (185g) full-fat milk powder

2 tbsp milk

½ tsp cardamom pdr

Chopped nuts for garnishing (or choice of nuts)

 

Preparations

 

Grease a square or rectangular pan with ghee and set aside.

Heat ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan, preferably a non-stick pan. Instead of ghee, you can also use unsalted butter.

 

Add ricotta cheese. Mix well to combine, and cook the mixture on low-medium heat.

 

Stir the mixture frequently to prevent the ricotta cheese from burning and sticking to the bottom of the pan.

 

Soon, ricotta cheese will release moisture, and the mixture will become thinner and moist. It will take about 8-10 minutes.

 

Now add sugar and cardamom powder. Mix well to combine, and continue cooking, ensuring to stir the mixture more frequently.

 

After adding sugar, the mixture will become thinner. Once the sugar is mixed, add milk powder and milk.

 

Stir well and continue to cook the mixture. You will need to stir the mixture very well and continuously to prevent the formation of milk powder lumps.

 

Once everything is well combined, taste the mixture and add more sugar if needed. Stir the mixture frequently on low-medium heat.

 

Continue cooking the Burfi mixture until it becomes thicker, leaves the sides of the pan, and moves like one big lump.

 

The mixture should be moist at this point but not wet, and no liquid bubbles should form.

 

Once the mixture reaches the right consistency, turn off the heat. Pour the Burfi mixture into a prepared pan.

 

Spread the mixture evenly in the pan with the spatula and press it tightly, keeping at least one inch of thickness.

 

With the spatula or the back of the spoon, smooth the top of the mixture and then sprinkle chopped pistachios on top.

 

Let the Ricotta Cheese Burfi cool down completely. Then, cut it into the desired shape and size.

 

Serve the Burfi immediately or refrigerate it in an air-tight container for 8-10 days.                                                                                

 

NOTE- cottage cheese or cream cheese can be  substituted for Ricotta cheese
